Marriott International properties in the Caribbean are shedding light on the advantages of traveling during the shoulder and low seasons, offering travelers a unique opportunity to enjoy fewer crowds, attractive pricing, and enriching cultural experiences. Shoulder season, defined by AFAR as the period between the peak summer and low winter seasons, presents an ideal time for a relaxed and authentic vacation. Travelers can benefit from more personalized experiences at restaurants and excursions without the hassle of peak-season crowds.
Grand Cayman Marriott Resort
At the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort, summer never ends with newly renovated rooms offering a fresh and vibrant feel. The property now includes four brand-new Family Suites designed for families, couples, and group travel. During shoulder season, amenities such as oceanfront relaxation, water activities like snorkeling and paddleboarding, and visits to nearby Stingray City are more accessible. Hermes Cuello, General Manager, emphasizes the advantages of shoulder season, noting the good weather and reduced crowds, making it an ideal time for “bleisure” travelers and group bookings.
