Grand Cayman Beaches

My Husband and I are sailing on the Conquest 9/12. We had planned on snorkeling while in Grand Cayman but I had to have unplanned shoulder surgery. We are now looking for a hotel/resort to enjoy the beach, lounge chairs, pool, etc. Please, could anyone help us with this. I have not found anything on line to accomodate us. We do not mind paying a fee to use the facilities and after reading postings would rather not sneak onto a resort's beach. Thanks to all who can help with suggestions. Also, we have done the stingray, turtle farm and Hell on previous trips.

Allison29, I found this info on another board, this is not a resort but a beach with facilities.

Sea Grape is located next to the public beach. It is between the public beach and the old Holiday Inn Beach. It's a new beach, only been open about 4-5 months. It's not a hotel, it's a beach with a bar and grill, rest rooms, changing rooms etc. They rent chairs and unbrellas but the entrance is free.
Nice clean facilities, the food was good, the attendants were very helpful and the beach was awesome!

Sea grape and the public beach are both on the road that goes to Hell, The Turtle Farm etc. The Public Beach and sea Grape are side by side and they are about 3 miles or so from the cruise ship terminals. It takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes by taxi depending upon the traffick. If you continue along the road another 200 yards or so you will come to the old Holiday Inn. Cemetary Beach is another mile or so up the beach and The Turtle Farm and Hell are another mile or so on up the road from there.

The taxi fare to and from Sea Grape is $4.00 pp. If you buy a tour on the pier the driver will drop you off at any of the beaches on the way back. Cemetary is a nice piece of beach but to the best of my knowledge there aren't ANY facilities there. Also it might be hard to get a taxi back from Cemetary Beach. If you're adventurous you might want to go there but if you want to know you have rest rooms, showers, a nice cold drink nearby and no problems getting back to the ship my money is still on Sea Grape Beach.

We went to the Beach Club Colony. Very nice beach, chair and umbrella rentals food and beverages. We hopped on a mini bus for around 5 dollars. It left from the dock and made stops all along 7 mile beach, basically at alot of the resorts that had day packages.
