Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa in the Cayman Islands recently unveiled a multi-million dollar resort renewal project. The oceanfront resort on the sparkling sands of Seven Mile Beach has introduced additions through all guest rooms, suites, public spaces, meeting spaces, the fitness center and the pool and beach experience.
The Leo A Daly design team led by Pat Miller and Kathy Armstrong, focused on creating a relaxed island atmosphere that rejuvenates resort guests throughout their stay. The renovation employs an eclectic mix of new materials in island colors, including shellstone, abaca rope, rattan, sea glass, and stained wood in soft blues and whites for a bright island glow.
Upon entering the resort, guests are welcomed to a refreshed porte-cochère, featuring new landscaping and a renovated lobby that has a Caribbean bungalow atmosphere. Extensive work in the lobby includes enhanced architectural details such as repainted wainscot, columns and ceiling, as well as new furniture and an art collection with portrayals of local flora and fauna flanked by large mirrors in mother of pearl frames.
As part of the renovation, the new Beach Ambassadors program was added to pamper guests from the moment they set foot on property -- from placing lounge chairs at sun worshippers' desired spots, to serving up creative frozen drink and beach grill orders.
The resort's freshwater swimming pool has also been upgraded with new surface and lighting, as well as an addition of poolside cabanas to round out the new pool and beach experience, which incorporates activities such as paddleboard yoga, water aerobics and children's fitness programs.
Guest rooms and suites have been revamped to include new furniture, granite vanities, flat-screen plasma televisions, artwork, carpeting, Westin Heavenly Bed linens and duvets, plush towels and Heavenly bath amenities. Guest bathrooms now feature polished marble flooring, freshly painted walls and striking snapshots by local photographer Patty Hinz. Westin Heavenly Bath dual showerheads will also be added sometime this year.
The resort fitness center was also enhanced, and now features new equipment, flooring and fresh paint. In addition, the resort's renowned meeting and banquet space encompasses brand new modern carpeting and painting.
