Shangri-La Boutique Bed & Breakfast

The reviews are true - this is a gem of a place in Grand Cayman up on West Bay. Fantastic attention to detail, tastefully furnished rooms and lounge area, super facilities with the pool and loungers and the most amazing value compared with the resorts on 7 Mile Beach. The suites are incredibly spacious, spotless and super quiet. If you order breakfast, they are large, freshly cooked, beautifully presented and above all very, very delicious.

Bicycles available to cycle to local restaurants on 7 Mile Beach ( which we did) which is all super easy, safe and great fun. Sunset on West Bay Beach was a highlight, as was ‘Calypso’ and its Sticky Toffee Pudding a mere 900meters to the east.

So what’s the best bit of detail you need to know? Rose! Rose is the amazing hostess who runs and manages the Shangri - La Boutique B&B. She is so attentive, helpful, genuine and fun that the ‘vibe’ of this gem of a place is driven by her enthusiasm for life and her very successful business. She is standout. If we come back diving in Grand Cayman, then we are coming back to stay here for the facilities and to meet Rose again. She is a life tonic and the Shangri -La is the best hidden gem on Grand Cayman.

Shangri-La was truly a home away from home. I had a condo in West Bay, right down the road, since 2009 and am currently waiting for my new condo to be built. I last minute called to book for that day and asked to book on a day to day basis as I might be traveling to Cayman Brac or stay with friends. I didn’t want to do either!! I wanted nothing more than to stay at Shangri-La. Rose and the entire staff are amazing. They truly went above and beyond to accommodate me. Rose offered to wait up late for my arrival, checked in frequently (I wasn’t sure of my departure date and ended up staying my entire intended stay…plus one extra week!) or relied almost immediately. The grounds are beautiful and serene, the perfect tucked away hidden gem. Loved lounging in the hammock and always having fresh beach towels daily. I wish I was still there. Even when my condo is finished I plan on doing a staycation and will have all my guests that visit stay there.

If you need a peaceful and quiet place this is the place to be. We love the ambience specially in the morning having our coffee. Rose always there if you need help or you need something. Going to recommend this to my friends! Can’t wait to come back.

So relaxing staying here—what a gem! Shangrila Bed and Breakfast is peaceful, welcoming, and truly a hidden treasure.
The crew are so responsive and respectful, specially the manager rosemarie.
And food is really good...
I will recommend this place for those who want a pleasant place to unwind. This place is so perfect....

Shangri-la is one of the best guesthouses I've ever stayed at! The location is easy to get to and close to several attractions and restaurants in Grand Cayman. Every time I stay at Shangri-la I am welcomed like family! Rose is an amazing host and the home made breakfast is outstanding. The property itself is spotless, has beautiful landscaping, a lovely pool area and is so cozy and quiet. You will not regret booking a room at Shangri-la for your stay in Grand Cayman!

The location is great and peaceful. The atmosphere is clean and the rooms are a vibe. The value of it is very reasonable and be ready to hear roosters as their noise level can wake you up. The service is spectacular and the amenities are fly. I’d go back for sure.

Staying at Shangri-La felt like being welcomed into a home rather than checking into a hotel, and that made all the difference. Rose was an incredible host. Warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, she created an atmosphere that immediately put me at ease.

What I loved most was the sense of community. I met so many kind, interesting people around the property, and there was an easy, relaxed energy that you just don’t get at traditional hotels. It felt personal, peaceful, and grounding. A true place to unwind and connect.

If you’re looking for something authentic, cozy, and soul-restoring, this is it. I already can’t wait to return. 💛

Stayed at Shangri-La with my friends who were visiting from the US. The Papaya Suite we stayed at was spacious and comfortable. The neighborhood was also quiet and accessible (just at the end ofthe bypass road). Thank you, Rose for accommodating us!

This was a perfect choice for our trip to Grand Cayman. The property is very well maintained and all the employees are very friendly and helpful. We appreciate Rose, Chris, and the housekeeper (who I only saw from a distance and didn't get a chance to exchange names) who made our stay stress free.

The location is great. It's close to dive and snorkeling spots, restaurants,and grocery shops. I liked being close to seven mile beach but away from the crowds.

I would highly recommend this hotel. It is truly charming, well kept, fair priced, and is an easy drive from the airport, as well as with 15 minutes of multiple beach and restaurant locations. Our Host Rose was truly a joy to deal with. She was attentive, helpful and always there for us when we needed her. Her professionalism and personality are second to none. You will not regret your stay at the shangrila! This was my 5th time in the Cayman and my second stay at Shangri, and there will many more to come in the future! :)

This is my second time staying as a guest at my new home away from home. I travel all over the world and this is by far the most impressive stay I have had all year. The property is so beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The energy you feel the second you walk in makes you feel like you are instantly on vacation and can begin to unwind from your busy life. Miss Haltia is so sweet and greets you with a smile and keep everything spotless and beautiful. Rose is by far the BEST host I have ever met. She truly goes above and beyond for all her guests. She anticipates your needs, builds connections and manages before and during your stay at a world class level of excellence. I can’t wait to return again! The beds are comfortable, the pool is perfect and the grounds are a perfect place of beauty and tranquility. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a great stay at Shangri-La! The rooms were nice and comfortable, but what really stood out was the staff(especially Ms. Rose) they were super friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Would definitely come back once visiting the Cayman Islands!

We've found our new home when visiting Grand Cayman. This little hotel is perfect. It's in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood away from the craziness of Seven Mile Beach, but a very quick drive to get there. There's a new Rubis right down the street for snack and drink runs. The grounds were immaculate, the pool and hot tub were great to relax in at the end of the day. I was afraid it would be buggy being on the lake, but it wasn't at all. It's small, so it's never overrun with people like the big hotels. The breads and spreads with coffee and tea for breakfast are the perfect start to the day. Rose is amazing, she came out to greet us and made sure we knew where everything was, and the room was made up fresh every day. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning cold, and there was even fresh ice in the freezer for us. We can't wait to come back.

We were so delighted that we decided to stay in the West Bay Area. Shangri-La B &B is charming and homey. Rose is the manager and is very friendly. She gave us the property tour and hints on food and activities. There are bikes to ride, and equipment for the beach (like snorkels). It’s good to rent a car for the island. Taxis are pricey. Our room was perfect and near the pool. We will certainly return here on our next Cayman visit.

This place was so beautiful and refreshing. My husband and I went to visit family and stayed here. I’m really excited to go back. Rose was an amazing host!

Before I booked my stay I read so many reviews about their amazing host Rose and how she made their stay feel like a home away from home. When I tell you, they were correct, they were 100% correct! The room and amenities are great and I loved swimming in the pool and hearing all the sounds of nature. It’s clean and quaint and has great energy. But, what made my stay the best was being hosted by Rose. She demonstrates a high level of professionalism and passion for her job. Her attention to detail and proactive actions to ensure you have everything you need is exceptional! The breakfast is fabulous! I felt like I was at her home having breakfast! I travel often for business and chose this location to get a new experience. I will absolutely be back and can’t wait to “come home” again!

Rose runs the place with the help of her husband, mother and a few others. They were absolutely incredible.They went way above and beyond in helping .e with a y challenges. It was a beautiful place with lots of other very friendly guests. I would highly reccomend this place.

OMG, I'm absolutely OBSESSED with the staff!!! Miss Rose and Miss Haltia are literally the BEST!!! The personalized service they provided was TOP-NOTCH!!! From the delicious breakfast to the genuine care they showed us and our room, it's clear they truly care about their guests!!! Hands down, no contest!!!

And the ambience? Absolutely breathtaking!!! It feels like a total escape from reality!!! The Papaya Room was stunningly beautiful and one-of-a-kind, with an unbeatable view of the pond (hello, adorable turtles!!!) and West Bay!!! I had the most incredible time, and I'm already counting down the days until I can come back!!! These lovely ladies and the amazing experience have officially made me a guest for life!!!

I have now stayed here a few times and wouldn’t book anywhere else . Rose is absolutely the best hostess and nothing is too much trouble for her . The rooms are all clean , comfortable and well equipped . The pool and gardens are so peaceful and relaxing. Staying here is like stepping into a little oasis of calm .

This was my second time staying at Shangri-la and it was just as pleasant as I remembered. Everything is clean, well stocked, and inviting. I felt safe, welcomed, and provided for. Having coffee on the patio listening to the fountains and birds was the most peaceful way to wake up. With my rental car it was only a maximum of 15 minutes away from the airport and 10 minutes easily from everything I wanted to do! I love this special space!
