Location is the biggest asset here! Right on the water. The beach out front is sandy, but you can only wade or snorkel. However, a short walking distance is Rum Point. Food is very good—ate there twice. Drinks can be expensive. $14 Cayman dollars plus tax and converting to US made them $20 for an 8 ounce frozen drink. I did try their frozen mudslide (supposedly invented there). We were there the last week of July and it was not crowded. No trouble securing lounge chairs, etc. Found a beautiful sand bar (facing water) to the left of Rum Point. Our adult son metal detected daily while we floated around. Absolutely beautiful. Stingrays swim around you. Fun!!
The unit was ample space for six adults and two children (6 & 9). Everything you need is there. Views were beautiful, bedrooms were large, laundry in the unit, and they provided snorkels, beach towels, rafts, sunscreen, life jacket, much more—a lot of extras that were appreciated. The beds are very soft. I had trouble adjusting, my husband did not. The unit is clean—some things need refreshed. The pool is tucked in behind the buildings near the parking lot. Water was very warm—not refreshing. Grandkids used it a few times.
Highlights of the week—revisiting stingray city and swimming in bioluminescent bay at night. Magical!!
Ate at Kaibo Beach Restaurant, Over the Edge, Tukka, Chicken Chicken (brought back to condo), Boathouse Grill (downtown), Rum Point twice (convenience after beach all day with kids).

We loved our stay at the retreat. There were 6 adults and the condo had plenty of room. The place was clean and the beach below was basically like a private beach for the whole stay. We loved rum point next door except the food prices were way too expensive. Our favorite local restaurants were Kiabo beach, Over the Edge and Tukka!
I will say that a rental car is a must if you plan to go anywhere away from the retreat. The snorkeling out next to and under the pier is amazing. Sea turtles, sting rays and tons of fish. We plan to come back!!

This was an amazing property at Rum Point right on the beach with great snorkeling. We had a group of 8 with 4 kids under 10. Gigi was a fantastic property manager and very easy to contact. Everything was ready and our family had a great vacation! Can’t wait to go back.

The view from the condo was gorgeous. I would difentaly stay there again. Everything about the condo was peefect. There was 6 adults and there was plenty of room. Having Rum Point next door was ideal.

Our family loved our stay! It was perfect for 5 adults. Individual space, comfortable beds & plenty of family space in the living/dining room, lanai, & lovely upstairs patio. The view is gorgeous; the best on Rum Point. It was great being so convenient to the dock to take the excursions. Well equipped kitchen when we weren’t going out to the restaurants nearby. Great internet was appreciated. We would all love to return soon!

This place was in a perfect spot! We went in August so not a lot of people and it was like we had our own private beach!
The balcony on the top was pretty useless since it was too hot to sit out in the direct sun but the lower screened in deck was amazing! We sat on this deck every morning with our coffee, under a nice fan. At night we sat out with our drinks and didn’t have to worry about the bugs.
I would definitely recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay at this rum point condo! Having 3 full baths for our group of 6 was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked. I loved waking up and seeing the beautiful views. Would definitely book here again!

Great property at the Retreat in Rum Point! Best condo unit on the beach! Other than not having access to the property when we got there (took an hour to locate property staff as place was locked with no key code) our stay was wonderful!

I was unsure of staying on this end of the island away from the hustle and bustle of Seven Mile Island. Boy am I grateful we made this decision. Rum Point is serene, quiet, and beautiful. It was like having your own private beach. And the property was perfect. It sits squarely on the middle of the island and the views are incredible. We spent equal amounts of time on the 3rd floor private balcony and the 2nd floor screened porch. We had everything we needed, from snorkeling gear to a fully stocked kitchen. If we are lucky enough to return to this island we will definitely stay in this unit again!

Great communication and amenities. Very clean. Excellent location for families looking to get away from the busy SMB

From the lanai and the upstairs deck, you will enjoy the beachfront and an unobstructed view of Rum Point, the bay, and the ocean to the north. The unit was quiet and roomy. We appreciated a good supply of snorkel equipment so everyone enjoyed the snorkeling. We enjoyed the snorkeling at Rum Point tremendously. We saw rays and turtles just off the point out front and the coral on the north shore and around the point is in great shape and beautiful. Unfortunately, a few maintenance needs detracted from what would have been a first-class experience.

Absolutely do not hesitate to stay here! We are so glad that we chose this location and condo. Dave was very helpful and kind and seems to really care if you enjoy your stay in his place. The snorkeling is fantastic right out in front of the condo. (sea turtles, stingrays, conch shells, starfish, and colorful fish of all kinds) Walk across the street to the bioluminescent bay in the evenings. Walk to the rum point beach bar for burgers/buffet/drinks. Starfish point very close by. My son enjoyed the balcony to use in the evenings for his photography and even was able to get some great night sky pictures. We will definitely visit again!

Great location and plenty of room for a family. Our 8th trip to The Retreat and this by far our favorite condo.

Beautiful spacious condo right on the beach. Amazing snorkelling-saw sea turtles and fish right in front of property. Great Beach bar and good right beside condo building. Will be even better when rum point construction is done but service, food and drinks were excellent.
Will definitely be back here to stay!!

Beautiful property and perfect for the long-weekend getaway. The property was clean and spacious.

Our stay in Rum point was amazing. We traveled with our family, including a 9 month old and the proximity to the beach, Kaibo, and Rum point bar were everything we needed. The condo had all the basic amenities and there was a lot of gear including snorkel masks/fins and a paddle board to borrow. The condo is about 40 minutes from the airport/downtown Georgetown area so renting a car worked for us. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The condominium was wonderful, right on the beach with lovely views. It was fully stocked with paper products, kitchen items, beach towels, snorkel gear, and charcoal for the grill. The host was easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our stay there so much!

Gorgeous two floor beachfront in upscale, quiet northside retreat. We loved the two big patios (one screened and roofed the other open) overlooking the beach outside our condo. The owner and propery manager couldn’t have been faster or more responsive. Highly recommend this lovely piece of paradise. Try the local restaurants ans see sea turtles free at Spottswood Beach. Coral Gardens and Stingray City very close.

Owner-amazing. Gigi-amazing. Best location on the island, condo was exactly what we were looking for and then some…. Worth the wait. We enjoyed it so much that a few days before we were supposed to leave we extended our stay by 3 days. Bummer that Rum Point wasn’t open, but we still made memories and that’s all that counts.

Booked in 2019, rescheduled 4 times before we made it, thanks a lot COVID

Perfect Location
This is a perfect location for people/families that want lots of snorkeling opportunities and not the hustle and bustle of 7 mile beach. The views are some of the most beautiful in the world. The house has everything you need to cook meals in instead of spending a fortune on eating out.

This condo is in the best location on Rum Point! The views are spectacular and the beach & water are incredible. You can walk out your door and get some of the best snorkeling on the island.
We went with our 2 adult children for 12 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. The condo is very spacious & homey and the kitchen is well equipped. Also, the beds are comfortable & the AC works great. It’s a bit dated, but that didn’t bother us. We previously stayed at a gorgeous oceanfront home just down the street, but this location & beach are far superior. We’ve been to many Caribbean islands and overall this is our favorite so far. We will definitely come back!!

Great stay at Rum Point
We had a great stay at Run Point BUT you should be aware that all Rum Point restaurants and bars are permanently closed and the Kaibo is only open on certain days. This leaves you with the only option of having to drive for meals on bring groceries with you before you arrive. The view is amazing at the condo.

Thanks for a great stay!
The house was just as described and offered everything that we needed during our stay. The Rum Point area is slowly opening back up as we (hopefully) approach the end of the pandemic, but even with all area amenities not yet available, we were able to have a great stay. Thanks for making things easy and comfortable!

We enjoyed our girl’s trip at Rum Point immensely. Everything we needed was there. The Rum Point club was not reopened yet but lots of other places have begun to reopen. We were glad to be on the quiet side of the island as this week the first cruise ships started to return. We highly recommend #28 and would love to return again

This property is amazing. It is a beautiful 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath condo located right beside the famous Rum Point. The screened in porch allows sitting out late and the upper deck is perfect for sunning. One of the best places I have ever stayed!

We had a wonderful time at this great apartment right next to the beach. The apartment is very spacious with en-suite bathrooms off each bedroom and is fully equipped with everything you’ll need for a very relaxing stay at Rum Point. We ate out on the screened in porch most nights and had drinks on the spacious patio off the master bedroom. Dinner on the beach at Kaibo is a must and they did not disappoint this time. The Rum Point shop and restaurant are closed right now (February 2022) but will hopefully re-open soon. If you are heading to Rum Point, this is a perfect place to stay.

Beautiful view and serene. The Covid impact could be felt by the lack of people and fewer dining options, but the quiet was wonderful. Perfect space for two couples. And the weather was perfect as well. Testing took some time, but very accommodating and efficient at Health City. We just wish we could have stayed longer!

Great Condo!
The condo was the perfect size for our two families. It is clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable. The view is amazing. There were always beach chairs available. The snorkeling off the shore is wonderful. The pool is very nice. Our favorite thing about the condo is its location to Rum Point. The reservation process and check in were very easy. I would definitely stay here again.

Retreat at Rum Point Paradise
We had a very relaxing vacation during our stay at Unit #28. The view is spectacular and the area is quiet day and night. Unit is very spacious and comfortable. Air conditioning worked great. View from the balcony and screened in porch is spectacular.
You basically have your own private beach right in front of the condo. All the supplies you need to go snorkeling and kayaking (minus the kayak that you request from the office) are available for your use. One of the top snorkeling spots on Grand Cayman is about 150 yards straight in front of the condo. You will see eight to ten snorkeling tours a day anchored there. We simply swam out there each day to enjoy seeing hundreds of tropical fish, sting rays, lobsters, conch, and eels.
All the locals we encountered were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had.
Rum Point Beach Club is right next door with good food for lunch and dinner. We ventured out to the Lighthouse Restaurant for dinner which was really good. For our "special dinner" dinner we went to Kaibo "Upstairs" for one of the best meals we have ever had. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere is very classy.
Our other favorite restaurant was Tukka - we ate their twice and the waiter we had the first time remembered us. Great food, reasonable prices, awesome service, and great views.
We will be back.
