Morritt's Tortuga Club Reviews & Ratings

Morritt's Tortuga Club in located on the quiet East End of Grand Cayman and right on the Caribbean. Wonderful restaurants nearby. The place to go for pure R & R.

We have owned at Morritts for nearly 25 years. We also have exchanged in to others over the years!

At Morritts you will find that it is a Fantastic Location. Everything you would need is either on property or just across the street there is a full service grocery store as well as a fully stocked liquor store and a Great Italian Restaurant.

On property you can get some of the best meals either inside or out. From Breakfast to fine dining in the evening as well as good food and entertainment at the dock.

Deep Sea Diving Right on the property!! Some of the best in the World!!! There is something to do almost every day at the resort! Or just enjoy the pool or Ocean!

Lots to do locally! More super restaurants within just a few miles.

Some of the best caves to explore just down the road.

AND MORE!!!

Love the east end. We've been coming for years and have slowly stopped visiting 7 mile at all.

Great snorkeling right off the beach. No need to deal w the high prices, construction and traffic associated w 7 mile Beach.

Purchased my unit in 2001. We or someone from our family has used the unit every year and love Morritt's. We have enjoyed long walks on the beach, snorkeling, scuba diving, going to Stingray City. If you enjoy a quiet, beautiful beach reading a book, this is the place for you!

Beautiful unit directly on the water. The complex is on the quiet side of the island and is guaranteed relaxation.

Sleep comfort given only 4 stars at is queen-size bed along with queen pull-out couch.

Absolute best diving on island. Restaurants and bars are all great. Nice clean pools and beach. Great activities. Close to off site restaurants and Foster's grocery. We've been owners for 24 years.

Awesome Property the townhomes are very roomy and clean! Best Diving Destination , awesome beaches, and pools.

Beautiful 2 bedroom poolside unit. East end of Grand Cayman quiet and secluded . Unit is newly renovated 2 floors 3 full bathrooms comfortably sleeps 6 full kitchen . Very short walk to beautiful beach resort has daily activities . Wonderful onsite Restaurant as well as grocery and pizza across the street. Happy to discuss with anyone been owner for 11 years

January 2017 update: We had a lovely vacation at Morritts again this New Year's. The units were completely remodeled recently and are lovely. The improvements to food service were also very nice to see. We had several delicious meals on the veranda and at Mimi's at some of the best pricing we found on the island. As always it was a wonderful vacation at Morritts!

We have owned the Tortuga Club for many years and just love it. The staff are always helpful and friendly! The island is wonderful to visit with lots to do for everyone in the family. The botanical gardens are wonderful, there are many lovely private snorkeling spots around the island that don't cost you a cent. I know that people always comment on how expensive it is to eat out in Cayman, but The kitchens at the club are fully stocked, so you can easily stay in and cook meals to save money. We usually eat out for lunches and then stay in for dinners, as most places have great lunch specials.

The beach at the club is great for snorkeling and, in our case, windsurfing. There are always people up for beach volleyball too.

We have always had a wonderful time at Morritts and expect to be happy owners for many years.

We have been coming to the Cayman Islands for over 12 years. We stayed at Morritt's Tortuga Club twice on a trade thru Interval and subsequently decided to purchase (from an owner selling on Redweek.com). So now we've stayed at the Morritt's three times (for a total of four weeks). We absolutely love MORRITT'S.

The safety of this island is unsurpassed. Even tho the Morritt's is a bit of a drive from town, it is well worth it to be away from all the cruise ships, and there are many, many things to fill your needs in the area that don't require being in town (i.e. great restaurants, gift shops, Rum Pointe in lieu of Seven Mile Beach, access to tours, grocery stores). No need to even rent a car, but it is super convenient for the guests that Andy's is located across the street.

With regard to the Morritt's, the ambiance bespeaks of genuine customer service from the owners (I've had several personal conversations with Mimi) down to all levels of staff. ALL management and staff are down to earth and eager to please. Maintenance staff were quick and knowledgeable with issues (only one in four weeks' of staying at resort). UNLIKE the case with a lot of resorts, MORRITT'S has chosen to continue with some daily housekeeping duties, as well as a midweek full cleaning. KUDOS TO MORRITT'S FOR THIS WHERE ALL OTHER RESORTS ARE CUTTING BACK.

It's nice that there are so many buildings in the Tortuga Club that you can request a variety of settings to suit your situation. (I needed first floor near the pool with quick, easy accessibility to my unit so I could keep an eye on my husband with dementia.)

Prime Rib night and All You Can Eat Lobster night at David's -- there are no words to describe. It bespeaks five-star quality food and customer service. The prime rib melted in our mouth, and the lobster was delectable. (I ate five.)

Snorkelling is excellent right out front of the resort, as is swimming, windsurfing, all water sports. The dive group and Red Sail located right on the beach is another example of quality customer service. Highly recommend you go on a Stingray City tour. It is a unique experience you'll never forget and not easily found elsewhere.

The Morritt's kindness and caring attitude toward maintaining the culture with respect to the presence of some cats is unmatched in the islands. The cats are fixed, and they are in good health. I noticed how many guests enjoyed a few of them and several remarked that's why they come to this resort. Their presence is a comfort for folks who have had to go on vacation and leave our pets behind. There's a saying, "You can judge a country by how they treat their animals." Morritt's is in the forefront for setting a sterling example in this regard.

Whether you stay in an updated (contemporary) unit or one not yet renovated (Caribbean decor), you can't go wrong staying at Morritt's. Easy access to all three pools, the ocean, water sports, beach.

The only reason I gave 4* for Sleep Comfort instead of 5* is because I wish the bed was king size instead of queen size. But with a bit of weight loss on my part, that could be solved. LOL

ENJOY YOUR STAY AT THE MORRITT'S. YOU WILL HAVE MARVELOUS MEMORIES EMBEDDED IN YOUR MIND FOR MANY YEARS!!!!

Have stayed at Morritt's numerous times and love the resort and staff. Great beach, snorkeling, several gorgeous pools, good food & drink and a dive shop on site.....LOVE this place.

Just returned 1/18/2015 after two weeks at Morritts Tortuga Club. We stayed in a two bedroom oceanfront townhouse. The unit was clean and well maintained. The ocean was so close the noise from the surf put me to sleep every night. The staff was exceptionally friendly always greeting us when we walked by. The maids were great and kept the room very clean. You get clean beach towels everyday. We ate at Davids a few times and the food and service was 5 star. The welcome party BBQ and the all you can eat lobster was to die for. We also had the breakfast buffet, fabulous. Planning on going back next year.

Missing personal items after housekeeping came, all employees at their waterside bar, Mimi's, were unfriendly. My unit was outdated and patched up.

My husband and I have been going to Morritts since right after hurricane Ivan in 2004. I have seen good and bad at this resort. I have to tell you that it is on an upward climb. If you look at the other reviews here look at the timeline. There has been new management the past few years and it has made a big difference. When we experienced any repair issue it was addressed very quickly. Yes the bars are expensive but you are in Cayman and everything is on the expensive side. The resort this year was great. The from the front desk staff to the guy who cleaned the pool, everyone could not have been nicer. The hosts ( concierge ) are all really helpful and go out of their way to make sure you get what you need. We were fortunate to be able to attend on large party this trip. Morritts was named the best resort in Latin America/Caribbean by a Timeshare Publication. They have also recently received some RCI awards.

Things to do here are unlimited. We snorkel for hours at a time right at the resort. There is great snorkeling right there. Don't miss a trip to Rum Pointe. It is a short drive and it is great for a change of scenery and of course you can take a trip out to see the stingray from there. On the way we stopped at Starfish Point. Your host can give you directions to the point. We always stop at Over the Edge for breakfast on the way to Rum Pointe. The Italian Kitchen across the street is a good place to eat too.

We keep going back because it feels like a very beautiful home. We always are greeted with "welcome home" from the staff. You need to try this place for your self.

Just returned from a wonderful week of warm beautiful weather. The 2 bedroom unit was spacious and clean. The resort it self was very clean. All I can say is, WE WILL BE BACK!

SO WONDERFUL TO WALK OUT TO A BEAUTIFUL BEACH AND SNORKLE. SO RELAXING.

We had really enjoyed our stay in unit 4312 seaside building. Our 2bdrm unit was clean and comfortable with a daily cleaning service. It has a fully stocked kitchen so it was easy to prepare simple meals. We liked a quite location of the resort. It has a great snorkeling but bring your aqua shoes to go swimming because of seaweed and rocks, but it really didn't effect our swimming experience. The restaurant and bar have a great food and we also enjoyed a fire-eating show and a movie on a veranda. The Foster's grocery store has a basic selection of food but prices are higher than in town, Dunkin Donuts is very expensive, smaller sizes and not as tasty. we liked the Rum point in the afternoon since it was not crowded and their snack bar food was really good. Also, we rented a car and went to a Seven Mile Beach. It was fun . Atlantis' tour was interesting but very expensive. We didn't like food at Portofino, but enjoyed a brazilian steakhouse , however it is very expensive. Over the edge restaurant has also a good reasonably priced menu.

Our family just returned from a week at Morritt's Tortuga and it was fantastic. Both our kids (a son, 15, and a daughter, 10) made fast friends and the environment is so safe that they roamed freely between our poolside room, Mimi's dock, and the Morritts Grand right next door. There is something fun happening every night - a DJ, a fire-eater, a game of island-Jeopardy, etc. The weather was not great, but we've been told by several repeat visitors that it was uncommonly cool (mid-70's) for that mid-February week; we will very likely give it another try next year! It was also windy, but I think that is customary for Grand Cayman. We did swim with the stingrays and it was wonderful. The island itself is very clean and the local people who we dealt with were warm and friendly. The culture has a zero-tolerance policy on anything illegal so the level of personal safety and comfort is extremely high. Prior to this trip, we visited St. Thomas USVI for four years in a row, and we never had that same feeling there.

My one cautionary recommendation is that you bring your own beach towels. The towels provided by the resort can go missing from the beach, pool, or your patio because if you don't turn in the same number you signed out, they charge you $30/towel, absolutely no exceptions. I had to mediate a towel argument at the pool that I was afraid was going to come to blows. After a few days the pressure got to be too much and I turned them in rather than having to worry more about the towels than I had to worry about my kids!

The unit we stayed in was bright and comfortable, the kitchen had most of the basics, and we did cook-in a couple of nights, since eating out is expensive. Our big splurge was dinner at Portofino's the last night - pricey but fantastic.

As many of the other reviews point out, there are other charges made by the resort, such as for electricity. For our family of four, it was about $50 for the week, much less than I expected, possibly because the week was cooler and we only used the a/c a night.

My wife and I stayed at Morritt's from October 10 -17th of 2009

On the negative side, it was expensive - electricity, drinks, food and some excursions. We had all day rain for two of our days and some rain on two others.

The positives, however, greatly exceeded the negatives. All three pools were great and we loved the bar that were available in the 2 of the 3 pools (IN the pools!). Snorkeling onsite was decent but the excursion to Stingray City (an absolute must!) brought us to Rum Point which is one of the prettiest places I have ever been to. The food at the bar was surprisingly good and comparitively so not so expensive. The snorkeling was fantastic.

Our Exchange was for a room on the ocean (they told us most Exchanges are poolside so we were VERY fortunate). When I was not eating, sleeping or snorkeling, I was sitting on our deck looking out over the ocean. I was up EARLY most mornings watching the stars fade away to the sunrise. The Big Dipper was right at the water - one night I watched a thunderstorm way out at sea. Tons of shooting stars too.

All the staff were very nice to us and did a great job serving us.

I highly recommend Morritt's (but be prepared for an additional $750-$1000 in expenses for the week for two...it really adds up).

We stayed at the Morritts with our children and grandchild in August. We had a great time! There is something to do for everyone. A playground with swings and a slide was a great asset to the resort. There were three pools.. one had an water exercise program several times during the week, the other two had swim up bars. There are jetskiis to entertain the kids, terriffic snorkling right from the beach, and the beach..well, it was Wonderful! We found the staff exceptionally willing to please and the unit well stocked and imaculate..and I am fussy! The furniture in all the poolside units have been updated and really has an Island flare. We cooked in and bbqed, but there are many really nice restaurants around. Things may be a bit more in the Caymans, but you don't have any rift raft around, the island is really safe. I would not hesitate to recommend this resort.

We are in our last day in a week at Morritts and have had a great time despite very windy weather this week. They say that is very unusual for this time of year. The East End location is so much less congested than the Georgetown area. We've stayed here several times and it seems every year they add something. This time they moved the workout room to a great location with a view and have added several new aerobic machines.

Our 2 bedroom penthouse had a great view of the ocean. The staff is real friendly and there is a daily calendar of stuff to do. Red Sails runs the scuba shop and are a great bunch. The sites are typically very close which means shorter boat rides. The grocery store across the street is also very convenient as it is stocked with almost everything. (except alcohol).

A nice place for a relaxing week away from it all!

We stayed at the Tortuga Club in April 2008. Accommodations were a third floor penthouse, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths. The unit was very spacious. There is no dishwasher but the four of us didn't need a dishwasher. The rooms are being refurbished since Hurricane Ivan.

Very friendly staff. We enjoyed drinks and lunch at the Tiki Bar several times. The Tortuga Club has a beautiful beach and we used the very lovely, well maintained pools on several occasions.

This is a wonderful resort to visit with family. Children have a pool for themselves. It is about 8-10 miles from Rum Point, a MUST SEE beach facility.
