My family and I decided to head to Grand Cayman for a Thanksgiving getaway, and Vida did not disappoint. We rented the three bedroom luxury penthouse, which was wonderfully appointed and had everything we could have needed. The hotel is new and everything is top-of-the-line, which was great. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, and the view was amazing. The staff at Vida was top-notch, most notably the manager Natalia, who was warm, friendly, and checked up on us often to ensure that our experience was excellent (and it was)! We enjoyed our daily breakfasts at Nourish, and had some wonderful in-room champagne as well. The staff at Vida was wonderfully accommodating and helped us plan excursions, make bookings, and made several recommendations. The hotel had a few chairs for beach use - the beach at the hotel may not be the best for "beach sitting" but the staff found us a great beach location and drove us there (with the chairs, and a snack!), which was greatly appreciated and lovely. There are several beautiful beaches nearby, including Seven Mile Beach, which is just a short drive and has several public beaches (some of which have chairs/umbrellas to rent). Vida is close to Barkers National Park and a few restaurants, but we also went to George Town for several meals. During our stay, we did rent a car, which I would recommend, as it makes it easier to get around the island based on the location of Vida. We took the staff up on some of their recommendations, including a visit to Stingray City, Starfish Point, and the Bio Bay, and enjoyed a kayak tour through the mangroves in addition to some beach relaxation and a visit to the botanic gardens. The experience at Vida was everything we could have asked for and more. I would definitely recommend staying at Vida to anyone considering!
