Beat THIS Price at Morritt’s Grand Resort Grand Cayman
Placed on its own powdery white sandy beach, Morritt’s Grand Resort offers one of the most stunning Ocean Front views in the world
When I last glanced at it, GRN membership was showcasing a one bedroom unit available for immediate purchase for only $650 for the entire week. (8 days / 7 nights)
Although I was unable to compare exact dates with the major travel providers (due to their lack of availability), I compared many similar dates/weeks and realized more than a $1,000.00 savings every time.
These types of savings and VIP access are available exclusively to GRN members.

PLACES TO VISIT if you want to expand from your 5 star luxury vacation:
Xel-Ha. I love this place. Xel-Ha’s got restaurants, bathrooms w/showers, locker rooms, they supply the snorkel kits, inner tubes to float in the water, and amazing fish! By far one of my most favorite places to visit. You’ll also see tons of Iguana’s, and you can swim w/Dauphin’s as well, extra charge.
Tulum’s beaches and Mayan Ruins. The beaches in Tulum are remarkable and one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I enjoyed the Mayan Ruin’s, but my Husband however didn’t really care. The beaches are worth seeing and swimming in, even if you don’t care to see any ruins. And I’m a big history buff, so I enjoyed the whole package.
Island Mejueres is a quaint, little Island off the coast of Cancun. The boat ride is approx. one hour. You can rent scooters, golf carts, bikes, or just simply walk on this tiny Island. There are several little shops and restaurants for you to enjoy. You can snorkel the calm, beautiful sea, and the beaches are very nice. So many adventures to take on this authentic little Island.
More Details on Olympic Village California
Since you keep asking, I thought I’d toss in more information on the resort and what else is in the area (rather than the skiing available in the area).
So here goes…

Literally steps from the slopes, this Ski in/Ski out property puts guests in a prime location for mountain fun.

Guest services include free parking, ski in/ski out privileges, a concierge, a 24-hour front desk, movie and VCR rentals, lift ticket sales, and luggage storage.

The restaurant we frequented most often was the Balche - located along the main pool. They had delicious food. We were always very satisfied. The prices are very reasonable. Havana Moon was an excellent place to go and have drinks at the bar and dance to what ever band was playing. Havana Moon is a fun, trendy, beautiful building. You must wear semi-casual clothing, but mostly men. No plain white, work t-shirts or cut off t’s. I never ate there but will next time I visit. I was there in the evenings just to drink! Del Lago is a huge buffet style restaurant. I think every night they have a theme night and buffets. They are also open for breakfast too. Can be pricey….. but worth eating at if you’re going to eat a lot! I’ve only ate there a few times. Tramonto’s is an upscale, very nice restaurant. Never ate there, but did go to check out their prices. Not bad at all. I thought for it being an upscale restaurant it would be expensive, but it’s not. Some meals were $10.00 -$30.00 and up, that I can remember looking at. You must dress up, again…… mainly men. Room service was our second most popular choice for food. We’d usually order room service while getting ready for what the night had to bring. Room service prices are also very reasonable and very, very tasty. Brio the health food bar is my absolute favorite!!! All natural and organic smoothies, juices, wraps, salads, and muffins! We usually went there every morning for our juices and brunch. DELICIOUS! It’s located up where the gym and spa is. Also reasonably priced and no need to dress up.

Family Vacation Fun at Marriott’s Grande Vista
Thinking of a perfect family vacation? Listen to what other families have to say…
“We are a family 7 and had a wonderful time on this property. We stayed in the Madrid building which was very accessible at all. This is property is close to all Disney World Attractions. Very kid friendly. There is even an indoor play area for small kids. Food was good. Service was good. We will definately go back to The Grande Vista.”
“I stayed June 19-26 in a two bedroom in building 82. When you request a room make sure it is near one of the main pools if not it’s quite a walk. The resort had free rock climbing and daily activities. Some were a small fee. We paid 30.00 per child for a kids night out. My children loved the people and the lunch that was given to them.”
“You wont go wrong with this resort. They let us check in at 11am. “
Comments You’ll love about Marriott’s Grande Vista
“Were invited to stay at the Grande Vista for 5 days and 4 nights for a great deal so long as we heard the 90 minute talk. It was definitely worth it. All staff were very accommodating and friendly. Be Sure to be picky about your room at the desk. We were not and we were first given a 1 bedroom suite that made me feel nauseaous. It took me no more than 5 minutes to call the front desk and it took them no more that 10 minutes to have us in our new wonderful1 bedroom The suite was all that we wanted and more. ”
“We stayed at the Marriott Grande Vista. We were originally booked to stay at a resort on the gulf coast, which was a DUMP, so we were lucky to get into the Marriott. Although our trip was to check out the beaches on the gulf coast, we had a great time at the Marriott. We did go to the timeshare presentation and altough we did not purchase, it was good information plus we received a $100 Marriott gift card which we used to purchase waterpark tickets and pool drinks. The staff was very accommodating. We ordered fresh towels 2 of the days we were there and they arrived promptly. The consierge was also very helpful when we had questions. We felt at ease with the gated security 24 hours a day and the loss prevention staff that roamed the grounds often. My only complaint is that the walls are thin and we had neighbors that woke up earlier than us so it made it a little hard to sleep in. . This would be a great resort for families since it is near all the Disney parks and the resort has many daily activities for the little ones.”
Vacation Quiet? Try Morritts Grand Resort Grand Cayman Island
I was talking with friends about the next vacation I want to take. From somewhere inside, a quiet voice said “white sand”. And I remembered that the article I’d been reading about luxury resort vacations had a photo of the Morritt’s Grand Resort.
Placed on its own powdery white sandy beach, Morritt’s Grand Resort offers one of the most stunning Ocean Front views in the world.
Now, people who have known me for years know that I’ll sleep sitting upright on a wood bench, or with my head pillowed on my jacket on a ferry boat lounge floor. Even so, there are times where pure luxury is exactly what I want on my time off.
Morritts Grand Resort Grand Cayman
This resort is located on a pristine beach on the quiet, exclusive side of Grand Cayman in the Caribbean. That makes it a great vacation getaway from the East Cost or Europe. That won’t stop me from flying from Los Angeles to stay for a week at a 5 star resort for what it would cost to stay in a local hotel.
When you first walk into the premier vacation resort in the Cayman Islands, you’re greeted with cathedral ceilings, unbelievably spacious kitchens with views of the ocean, and an atmosphere that will have you saying “I’m definitely on vacation.” More than that, at the Morriits resort you might find yourself tempted to stay in your rooms the entire time if it wasn’t for all the wonderful activities available around the island.
Five star amenities include elevators, spacious kitchens overlooking the Caribbean Sea, breathtaking views from your Master Bedroom, and more!
The room are a dream: every room includes a microwave, iron and ironing board, super-sized refrigerator, king size bed, TV and DVD player, along with white ceramic tile floors reaching through both the kitchen and living room.
Whether in a 4th floor Super Penthouse or in a 1st floor beach access one-bedroom apartment, your room will instantly have you unwinding. If you really want to splurge book yourself into one of the Morritt’s Grand Resort penthouse units. You’ll have over fifteen hundred square feet of room, including romantic jet tubs, as a starter. You can relax overlooking the Caribbean Sea from any of these rooms.
Morritts Grand Resort Grand Cayman
In house activities can range from relaxing while getting massages or get your blood moving in a week-long aerobics class.
Luxurious room and luxurious grounds.
The atmosphere is different than many other resorts. Peaceful balconies, and secluded from other tourists.
All the water sports you’d ever want are available either at the resort or very close.The Morritt’s Grand Resort can keep you busy with swimming pools, snorkeling trips, and for those adventurous types, a little taste of windsurfing. You’ll also find the best scuba diving and snorkeling in the world.
You can go fishing, boating, golfing, or try one of the many other activities available in the surrounding area. Or look for me, just lounging to enjoy the beautiful ocean front pool.
And letting myself be treated royally by the world’s best customer service staff.
That’s one of the things I love best about being on a luxury resort vacation at a resort like the Morritt’s Grand Resort. Care to join me?
Playa Linda Aruba with 1 year old? Sure!
I know, this comment is a long one, but it covers so many things I wanted to share it with you. Think of it 5 start luxury resort considered ideal with a 1 year old!
“I just had the opportunity to stay at Playa Linda Beach Resort and the experience was great. I went with my wife and our one year old daughter not knowing what to expect and the results were very positive. This resort is centrally located in one of the best beaches in Aruba. Unlike many of the resorts at Eagle Beach, where you need to cross the street to get to the beach, at Playa Linda you have direct acess to the beach. We spent a lot of time at the beach under a “chikee,” here we ordered drinks from the beach bar which has happy hour between 12-4 o’clock in the afternoon. If you are into water sport activities, the pier is within 2 minutes of walking distance from the hotel (very convinient!). The resort staff is o.k., although the room cleaning crew and the beach boys are great. They were very friendly and helpful. You have plenty of good to excellent restaurants within walking distance from this resort, I recommend Texas of Brasil located across the street from Playa Linda . The room was better than average with everything you may need during your stay. You can take a taxi to get to downtown from here, but we opted a cheaper mode of transportation, the public bus. The ride is about 20 minutes and very safe, many tourists opt for this option, plus is only a $2.60 round trip fare. If you are into casinos, you are within a five minutes walking distance from two of them. Would I go back to Aruba and stay at Playa Linda Beach Resort again? I’ll definately will and be glad with my desicion.”

I absolutely positively don’t run around promoting Timeshares - my folks lost their shirt with one. I look for how to have great vacations in different locations, (without having to go through elaborate swapping and trading nonsense)… and keep my money in my pocket.
Wouldn’t you love to save $1,598.00 on a full week at the Marriott Grande Vista?
Cool waters sparkle at every turn from the warm, clear waters of four separate pool complexes, to a quiet lake where boats of every size bob and beckon. You’ve got easy access to the popular Faldo Golf Institute by Marriott. Enjoy spacious living and dining areas with full kitchen.
When comparing the exact same size unit (1 bedroom) and dates, here is what you’ll pay elsewhere for a one week stay without a membership:
Expedia - $2279.55
Hotels (dot com) - $2279.55
Travelocity - $2197.12
Orbitz - Unavailable
GRN price for it’s members is only $599.00 for the exact same “everything.”
That’s a minimum savings of over $1,598.00 for just this one week.
These savings are yours for a lifetime - because you pay once for your membership and then take your resort vacation where ever you want! If you know you want to stay somewhere not yet in the membership directory, you just call the office and they go strike the deal at the resort you DO want to visit.
If you ask me, it’s the ideal way to vacation!
