Our second visit to DPC. As before, easy to book, owner very accommodating. Unit very comfortable, new King in master appreciated. Last visit I commented on the stemware and was glad to see nice new wineglasses. The sunset is magnificent, well maintained lounges and chairs on the beach and maintenance and housekeeping did a terrific job. Lots of new restaurants with top rated cuisine on the island. Car recommended. Cant wait to book next year.

Owner response:Returning guests comments always welcome and much appreciated.

Discovery Point and #16 is tops

My wife and I have visited many other places in the Caribbean and this was our first trip to Grand Cayman. We opted not to stay two weeks as we had never visited Grand Cayman but we will definitely stay longer next time. Discovery Point and #16 were a great surprise. The property and condo is located in a perfect area. The snorkeling just in front of the property was excellent. The front office at the facility was very slow in responding to correspondence but hang in there it is worth the hassle. There are excellent clean well kept grills where you can cook your own meals rather than having to go out after a long day in the sun. We will not hesitate in coming back to this condo. The owner of the property was easy to work with. There are some spectacular restaurants on the island. We'll be back.

I agree with all of the comments. Lovely place. Helpful owner and office. We came in on a holiday weekend and they even went grocery shopping for us! We had 15 people in 4 units ranging in age from 8 to 72. NO COMPLAINTS from anyone! We all hope to go back someday.

Great View

The view from this condo is absolutely fantastic. You can see out to the sea, even from the kitchen! The condo is exactly like its description, including the photos. I don't think you can beat the views. The screened balcony makes the balcony usable anytime of day or night. The complex is small, which allows plenty of room on the beach. There were always plenty of beach chairs in both sun and shade. The location is also fantastic. You are away from the "crowds" of Georgetown, but you are not far. You are just at the "quiet" end of Seven Mile Beach. Condo and grounds are very clean and well maintained. The cleaning staff is very accomodating (she managed to work around us when we were in the unit while she cleaned) and did a great job. The pool is clean and plenty large eough! As for a few recommendations, our favorite dining spot is the Calypso Grill. There is snorkeling right off the beach, but to see even more coral and fish walk up the beach to Cemetary Reef.

Fabulous Vacation--most relaxing ever!

The best vacation ever! The condo is beautiful and decorated with the feel of the island. The panoramic views are incredible! We went in September, and even though it was hot and humid, we enjoyed sitting on the ocean side balcony at night. The pool was fabulous--clean and well maintained. We also enjoyed sitting under the cabanas. What a treat to walk just a few steps from the condo to ocean snorkeling! Having a kitchen was not only convenient but saved us money too! Our favorite place for dinner was Tiki Beach, and we also enjoyed Hemingway's and The Wharf. We also recommend the turtle farm and the Atlantis sub. I have never had such a relaxing time on vacation. Truly paradise on earth.

Awesome Experience!

Our family stayed here and we loved it -- we would highly recommend it! The condo is right on the beach with a gorgeous view. There is a great balcony where you can enjoy a meal or a drink in the afternoon. A little removed from the city center, the condo is ideal for people who want to be near everything but don't want the hassle of being in the city center with all the cruise ship tourists. Be sure to snorkel here and also walk over to cemetery beach and do the same; you won't regret it. Also, check out the tennis courts and the pool. As we said before, awesome condo, great location, and wonderful vacation.

~~>> BEST ACCOMMODATIONS I'VE EVER RENTED - NOT A SINGLE COMPLAINT <<~~

This Discovery Point Club unit is AWESOME!! I have rented condos on VRBO 3 times now (once in Hawaii, once in Virgin Islands, and now Grand Cayman) and this was the best overall condo in every way. Extremely clean & well-maintained 2 bed 2 bath, fully furnished 1300 sq ft condo with a huge enclosed balcony patio (you can enjoy sitting on the patio and not worry about any bug bites, not that there were many anyway) overlooking the crystal clear blue waters of the sea. Large Sony Bravia flat screen TV with cable, & a DVD player with a collection of over 50 family DVDs. In the evenings, my niece & nephews loved the wide variety of cartoon & other family movies. They also have a cupboard full of board games that you can play with your family. Wireless high-speed internet also right in the unit! The kitchen has everything you need to cook (pots, pans, serving plates, serving spoons/forks, tons of dishes) & even a cupboard with condiments. We didn’t eat out once actually, we went to Foster’s which is 1 mile away & bought all our food & had nice home-cooked meals for a fraction of the price eating out! Unit even has a cooler for you to carry to the beach or other outing. The property has 2 large commercial gas barbecue grills which we used one day. The beach was just awesome, very clean and the white sand (coral) groomed every other day or so. You can snorkel right there & see hundreds of fish & other sea life right there off DPC’s beach (some of the best snorkeling we did.) The swimming pool was great too, many beach toys (noodles, floating beds, inner tubes) and a nice whirlpool spa surrounded by high-end patio furniture if you just want to sit in the shade by the pool and relax. These condo accommodations by far exceeded my family’s expectations in every way & made our vacation that much better. I am SO glad I found this unit. I went to check out some of the other condos I was interested in when I was researching a place to stay and even checked out the Ritz Carlton and this condo was way better. Even the Christopher Columbus Condos that are right next door are not nearly as nice, the layout wasn’t as good and many of those units don’t even have an ocean view. The staff at DPC are so nice - they have maids come Mon-Sat, and maintenance crew trimming hedges & cleaning the pool every morning around 7am or so. I have absolutely no regrets or complaints about this unit or DPC – I’d be surprised if you did. Thanks much to the owners! We’ll be back! :)

Great Vacation

We really enjoyed out vacation and stay at DPC. The furnishings were well done and very tropical. The view was amazing. Our family of four had ample room to enjoy. We have been coming to Cayman for 20 years and this was one of our better vacations. We are divers and were centrally located to all sites. Our only negative was the grounds of the complex could have been a little cleaner. The pool area stayed littered with toys and floats that no one seem to take owenership of. And the pool could have been a little cleaner. Sometimes it was a few days before someone would sweep the pool. I hope managment will be more aware of that issue.

Paradise Discovered

This was our fourth trip to Grand Cayman; twice before we have stayed in hotels, once in a condo. This was our first time at Discovery Point Club, Unit #16, and it was the best yet. The condo is nicely appointed (flat screen TV, wi-fi access) and very clean. It is ideally located at the quieter end of Seven Mile Beach, minutes away (by car, at least) from groceries, restaurants and shopping. The views from the screened-in balcony are inspiring; we enjoyed breakfast and lunch there every day. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation away from the worries of the world, then this is paradise discovered.

Simply Amazing

The pictures of these condos are great; however, the actual view from inside the condo is better. If you are thinking about staying somewhere else on this island, forget about it: this is the place you want to stay. We will be back.
