Botanica - Luxury Cottages

We’ve looked at this property to vacation at for almost 2 years. Never could make the timing work (either no availability or just didn’t fit our schedule). We decided last November 2024 to make it work. And very glad we did. I can’t say enough about the property nor its staff. Everyone was just a pleasure to interact with and everyone always wanted to know how our experience could be enhanced. The star of the team was Kim. Prior to arriving we had a multitude of questions and probably sent her a dozen emails. Each time she answered thoroughly and timely. Each of our requests were met with open arms. Upon arrival Kim and Chad met us at the cottage. Gave us a tour of the cottage and grounds. Explaining every unique facet from operating the lighting and fans to showing us the cooler, beach chairs, umbrellas, and other accoutrements and features on the property available for our use. The shuttle and its driver was so accommodating and available. Always smiling. The young ladies of housekeeping always had a smile and were very thorough going about their duties. Our unit was impeccable. (We always bring cleaning wipes and did so this time. We always wipe out drawers and wipe down countertops, door handles, etc. We did so at Botanica and our wipes didn’t pick up a speck of dirt or grime.) Excellent location. Public beach within a 3 minute shuttle ride. Restaurants and other dining within minutes. Would definitely recommend a rental vehicle. Just to get around to see what an amazing place Grand Cayman truly is. We learned a phrase that is truly indicative of who these great people who call themselves Caymnian are…”Cayman Kind”. And no matter who we met or interacted with, all who call The Caymans home truly exhibit “Cayman Kindness”. We’ve vacationed the world. Been to more than 27 Caribbean island nations. I consider myself somewhat of a discerning traveler. And I can say it’s really difficult to think of an accommodation and its staff better anywhere than Botanica Cayman. We will be back!

Spent a week here for our honeymoon and we have zero complaints! Did not want to leave it was so amazing! They provided everything you could possibly need for the week: stocked freezer with ice, a cooler, beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella and blanket, washer and dryer, cleaning supplies. The pool was so relaxing and peaceful to unwind after a long beach day. Location is good, I would definitely recommend having a rental car, we did and most things were a 4-15 min drive away. Also, the body wash, shampoo and conditioner provided are to die for, already ordered some for our house :) ready to go back!

This place is amazing! If you like to be secluded and left alone, this place is for you. They have thought of everything that you could possibly need. While it’s not directly on the water, the road to cross is pretty easy. We rarely saw anyone else staying there, which was great for us. They are around if you need anything, too. Try the charcuterie board, it was delicious! Everything was very modern and clean! Tons of outlets for charging if needed. This is the only place we would stay, no question. Washer and dryer was a huge plus, as well as the cookware, stove, oven and dishwasher to cook some meals on our own.
