This is one of our more lively activities! Carnival Madness offers a variety of fun games, just like you’d see at a family fair. We’ve got it all – from bowling, to giant cups stacking, water balloon toss, flying cups and more.

Rum Race

This game is just like a relay race – but with rum! Reserved for players 18 and older, this exciting game divides guests into two teams. You must swim to the pool-bar, take a shot, and swim back to tap your teammate’s hand. Whichever team finishes all of their shots first is declared the winner!  

 

Circus Workshop

From juggling, plate-spinning and mastering the Chinese yoyo, our Circus Workshop will show you the ropes and make sure you have fun in the process!

 

Pickleball Tournament

Pickleball is a fun sport that is a combination of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but it can definitely develop into a fast-paced and competitive game for more experienced players!

There are just five main rules:

1. The ball must stay inbounds.
2. There should be one bounce per side.
3. Serving must be done at a baseline.
4. The server can’t land in the no-volley zone.
5. The game ends at 11, 15, or 21 points.

If you’re new to pickleball, come along anyway! Players of all experience levels are more than welcome to join the tournament and just have fun.

Things to See and Do Around Morritt’s

The eastern districts of Grand Cayman are the least populated on the island, however they are full of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Here’s a selection of the attractions that are just a short drive away from Morritt’s. 

 

Cayman Parrot

Cayman Parrot Sanctuary

Located just before Tukka restaurant on Austin Connolly Drive, the Cayman Parrot Sanctuary is one of the island’s newest attractions but it is already growing in popularity. As the name implies, the facility is a place where injured Cayman parrots (the Islands’ national bird) can be rehabilitated with the ultimate goal of being released back into the wild. The sanctuary offers a fun, interactive and educational experience where families of all ages can see, hold and feed a variety of Cayman’s native animals. 

 

Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park

The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park showcases the best of Cayman’s natural beauty, where guests can enjoy guided or self-guided tours through colourful gardens, botanic, lake and nature displays. You might even see an endangered blue iguana or two, which roam freely throughout the park. They are found nowhere else in the world — only in the Cayman Islands! 

 

Mastic Trail

Memories at Morritt’s

Read the stories and fond memories below to find out what has kept our family of guests coming back for over 30 years.

 

(Hint: It’s not just the sandy beaches or the 5-star experience you’ll get at our amenity-rich resort!)

If you have a Morritt’s family memory you’d like to share, contact our sales team here. Or you can always reach out directly to your favourite staff ambassador.

 

Cat M. and her son make lifelong friends

“My first visit to Morritt’s in 2010 was one where I got a taste of the island, scuba diving, and made life-long friends. I KNEW it would be the first trip of many!

While visiting each year (leaving my son at home), I fell more and more in love with the island, resort, and friends I made from all around the world…enough so, that I brought my son WITH ME for his first visit in 2014.

Needless to say, when Morritt’s beaches are the first a child ever experiences in their life, you KNOW he will be hooked!!! And he was! I chose to purchase that year when I realized that the friends my son made and would make at Morritt’s and the experiences he would have over the years were memories I HAD to give him!

As my son has gotten older, he has helped in timing the vacations to ensure his lifelong friends will be on-island the same time we’re there. And my friends are both on-island and tourists, so I’m HOME with every visit.

For anyone thinking about visiting Morritt’s, imagine the most friendly people you’ve encountered in your life…they are the ones who will greet you on arrival and make your stay AMAZING! The accommodations, while gorgeous, pale in comparison to the customer service you will get at the resort!

Wishing all future guests and owners many happy “blue days”!”

 

Jenny L. takes up rooms for the whole family

“Magnificent Morritt’s is always where we want to be! The moment our eyes see the beautiful lavish Morritt’s Resort, there is wondrous knowledge of the glorious vacation that awaits!

For over 20 years, we have relished the serenity, tranquillity and immaculate resort and beach of Morritt’s.  All the buildings, pools and grounds are phenomenal and every detail is perfect.

We first purchased a one-bedroom unit when on an exchange and did not want to leave paradise. Now we own many two-bedroom units so our children and grandchildren will be able to cherish Morritt’s!

There are endless amenities for the energetic active person or if you prefer there is incredible quiet calming contentment on the beach also. We have met ultimately kind, gracious men and women at Morritt’s and they have become very special friends who we meet at Morritt’s every year.

Morritt’s radiates pure bliss, happiness and joy! Morritt’s Resort is the ONLY place in the whole wide world my husband will vacation – Morritt’s is absolutely the BEST!”

 

Loren G. and his wife relive their honeymoon year after year

“Our first experience with Morritt’s vacation club was on our honeymoon five years ago. My wife and I were gifted a week from her father and stepmother.

Grand Cayman is a place I had dreamed of going for many years, and we were also lucky enough to find the friendliest resort I have ever been to. Not only are the accommodations warm and inviting, the entire staff is dedicated to making your stay as amazing as possible.

We purchased a unit the same visit as our honeymoon, and we just recently purchased a unit in Mont-Tremblant. We cannot express how thankful we are to be a part of such an amazing organization.”

 

Angela G. dove over 100 times and is still logging

“My first trip to Grand Cayman and Morritt’s was in 2008 on an RCI exchange. Grand Cayman was recommended by another scuba diver who was an owner at Morritt’s. I decided to give it a shot. That first year it was in November.

As a diver, I quickly determined it was a place worth returning, which then turned in to returning again and again. Almost immediately I also fell in love with the resort and the East End.

It is 2020 and this will be my first year that I won’t get the chance to go. I have already booked 2021 and cannot wait to get back. I have been to Cayman in March, May, June, July, August, November, and December. Over the years, I have made friends with other guests (who we now sometimes return together) as well as friends on the island. I have unlimited Cayman memories created over the last decade; they make me smile, laugh, and remember the joy from each trip. I am always ready to plan the next trip.

Almost every trip I have spent time diving; logging more than 100 dives in Cayman over the years. The walls on the East End are amazing and the shallow dives have just as much character. As an underwater photographer I continue to enjoy capturing shots each trip. I fell in love with macro shots many years ago, so the shallow dives are probably my favorite for taking photos. The wall dives continue to impress. The local dive shops continue to take care of the ocean and their actions over many years tackling the lionfish population is part of why the diving continues to be top notch. I have logged more dives in Cayman than any other single location and am ready for my next dive trip.”
