Amenities at Morritt’s
There are so many reasons to love Morritt’s, but one thing that really sets this resort apart are the fantastic amenities! From the rooms and restaurants, to the pools and play areas for the kids, there is something here for everyone.
Here’s what our guests say their top favourite amenities are at Morritt’s:
1. Full 1 and 2-bed suites
Stingrays are as majestic as they are docile. Especially in Cayman’s Stingray City. In North Sound you can take a swim on a beautiful sandbar with dozens of these friendly locals. Warning, these stingrays have been known to photobomb visitors! 😆
We believe that you should feel right at home while on vacation. That’s why Morritt’s provides suites with fully equipped kitchens, comfortable living areas and 1 and 2-bedrooms!

2. Beach Access
Morritt’s is a beachfront resort, which means we serve up gorgeous views every day. Even if you don’t have an ocean-view room, trust us, you’ll still be living your best beach life while you’re here!
Take a nap in one of our hammocks under the coconut trees, or catch up on your favourite book under one of our palapas.
3. Pools (with bonus swim-up pool bars!)
Nothing beats a pool day, which is why we offer 3 stunning pools for you to choose from!
The Premier Pool is a family favourite, with its freeform shape and tropical swim-up pool bar. Take in the sounds of the oasis waterfall and tropical music, and soak in the hot tub on lazy afternoons.
The Park Pool is known for its relaxing atmosphere and often dubbed “the quiet pool” by our guests. It’s set in lush tropical gardens and surrounded by swaying palm trees. Great for lap swimming for those who like to work up a thirst or a peaceful retreat for those who enjoy a good book.
The Grand Pool is our infinity pool, where the ocean views never end. A lively spot with a swim-up bar, there’s a beach volleyball game every afternoon, as well as activities and fun pool games with our Activities Coordinator.
And don’t forget to check out our swim-up pool bars! With juicy prime beef burgers, salads, fresh-cut sandwiches, healthy wraps and fresh fruit there’s something for everyone to enjoy at our swim-up Grand Pool and Premier Pool bars.
4. Tennis & Pickleball Courts
Fancy a few rounds of tennis or pickleball? Grab a racket and head over to our courts! No racket? No problem! Equipment rental is available at the front desk (and free of charge to Golden Turtle Members).
5. Mini Golf
Not a tennis person? Perhaps we can tempt you with a round of mini-golf! This is also one that the kids will appreciate.
6. Bicycles
Explore the grounds and lush surrounding area à la bike! Feel the wind in your hair and enjoy the island breeze.
7. Shuffleboard
Shuffleboard is great because it is a perfect game for all age levels and experience levels. You can be 9 or 99 and still have a fun time!
8. Bocce Ball
Bocce ball is a fun yard game, and is similar to British yard bowling. It’s fairly straightforward to learn, so if you haven’t yet tried it, we highly recommend you give it a go!
9. Fitness Centre
For those looking to stay in shape on vacation, we are pleased to provide a fully equipped air-conditioned fitness centre on-site! Here you will find a wide variety of equipment, including free weights and a selection of weight training and cardio machines.
10. Kids Play Area
Last but certainly not least is our play area for the little ones! Drop off your kids and let them have the time of their lives with the toys and games offered here.

Top 10 Cocktails to Drink at Morritt’s
Dreaming of sunny days on the beach with a cocktail in your hand?
Here are our top 10 favourite cocktails here at Morritt’s…recipes included, so you can try making them yourself!
1. Cayman Lemonade
Smooth and refreshing, this drink makes a perfect poolside companion! While there are no actual lemons used in the recipe, the combination of the lime with the sweet and sour mix tastes very similar. Think pink lemonade – with a kick!
Make your own:
2 ounce vodka
1 ounce peach schnapps
1 ounce triple sec
1/2 ounce cranberry juice
1/2 ounce sweet and sour mix
Splash of soda
Squeeze of fresh lime juice
Optional garnish: lime wedge
Mix together, serve over ice and garnish with lime wedge.
2. Margarita
An absolute vacation staple, the margarita is a perfect combination of sweet, salty, sour and bitter. It doesn’t matter if you prefer it blended or on the rocks – either way it’s just as fun to drink! Head over to any of our bars on Tuesdays, when this is the drink of the day!
Make your own:
2 ounces tequila
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce triple sec or cointreau
coarse salt
ice
limes
Rub the edge of a glass with a lime slice and dip into coarse salt (optional). Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, lime juice and triple sec. Shake vigorously. Add ice to the prepared glass. Strain margarita mixture over the ice.
3. Mudslide
The original mudslide was reportedly invented in the 1970s at the Rum Point Wreck Bar. The story goes that a guest at the bar requested a White Russian. The bartender didn’t have any cream – but he did have Baileys. And thus, the mudslide was born. Head over to any of our bars on Wednesdays, when this creamy beverage is the drink of the day!
Make your own:
1 cup ice
1 ½ ounces Baileys Irish Cream
1 ½ ounces vodka
1 ½ ounces Kahlua
Optional garnish: maraschino cherry and some cinnamon on top
Blend ingredients until smooth. Serve in a tall glass and garnish with the cinnamon and cherry.
4. Piña Colada
Everyone knows this one! A fruity blend of rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice is all you need for a taste of paradise. If you like piña coladas (but not getting caught in the rain), head over to one of our swim-up pool bars and order one!
Make your own:
1 1/2 cup ice
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
2 ounces pineapple juice
2 ounces Coco Lopez coconut cream
1 1/2 ounces white rum
1 ounce dark rum

5. Frozen Daiquiri
Apparently Ernest Hemingway fell in love with the daiquiri when he strolled into Havana’s Floridita bar one day…drinking 15 in one sitting! That’s a feat we haven’t seen yet at Morritt’s, but if anyone feels up to the challenge we recommend starting with a classic strawberry daiquiri!
Make your own:
One 12-ounce bag frozen strawberries
6 ounces light rum
4 ounces lime juice
5 tablespoons sugar
Optional garnish: 6 fresh strawberry slices
Blend ingredients until smooth. Divide among 6 tall glasses and garnish rim with strawberry slices.
6. Cayman Mama
Think of this drink as the sister to the Bahama Mama! Keep an eye on how many you have, for this delicious rum punch tends to go down easy. It also pairs nicely with a sunset, so head over to Mimi’s Dock Bar on Thursdays at around happy hour when this delicious cocktail is the drink of the day!
Make your own:
1 ounce Coconut Rum
1 ounce Dark Rum
Equal orange Juice & pineapple Juice
Dash of Grenadine
Fill a glass halfway with ice and add all of the ingredients. Stir it up well and enjoy!
7. Rum Runner
If you’re looking for something strong, this is your drink! Named for the bootleggers who smuggled in liquor during Prohibition, the rum runner is a favourite with those who like their drinks with a kick. Head over to any of our bars on Fridays, when this delicious cocktail is the drink of the day!
Make your own:
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce orange juice
1 ounce unsweetened pineapple juice
1 ounce banana liqueur
1 ounce light rum

8 teaspoons sugar
4 handfuls mint leaves, plus more for garnish

9. Blue Iguana
This drink is named after an endangered lizard on Grand Cayman. When a blue iguana reaches maturity, their skin colour ranges from grey/green to a pale or turquoise blue! Raise your glass to this beautiful animal with one of these vibrant drinks.
