Lesser Location
The hotel's location gets a lot of mixed reviews. Some guests found it convenient, while others thought it was too far from the main city. The Riviera Grand Cayman is less than 30 minutes on foot from the city centre, but it can be difficult for transportation. Because the hotel is in a quiet residential area, taxis can be hard to find, but there is a bus stop nearby, and many guests also enjoyed taking the complimentary bikes to get to town.
negative:
Without Views
Several guests expressed dislike for the local area and the views from the property. The hotel is situated in a somewhat industrial area, with two oil refineries next door, resulting in less than picturesque scenery. In addition, even though the hotel is near the beach, there is no beach access.
negative:
Unstable Schedule
Both the restaurant and the front desk seem to have inconsistent hours. Guests reported the restaurant closed when it should have been opened, and the staff hard to find on several occasions.
