Harbour Heights and Plantana Grand Cayman
 
Hi,
I am debating renting a condo at either Harbour Heights or Plantana. Both of these have pools, nice beaches and seem to be walking distance to shops and restaurants without also being in the thick of things. Was considering Christopher Columbus, but I like the idea of being able to walk somewhere for drinks or food.

There are a lot of reviews on Plantana, but not much on Harbour Heights. Is it a nice complex? Well maintained? or more dated? Can't tell too much from the pictures.

We are traveling with an 8 yr old, a 14 yr old and a sprite grandma (70)
Thanks for your help!

Don't know much about Harbour Heights but we said next time we go back to GC, we will stay at Plantana. After walking 7 mile beach, this seemed like best bet. Friends stayed at Christopher Columbus and liked it but much further up 7 mile beach & also rocky entry to beach in front of condos.

Seems that Plantana won't book a specific unit; you just check in and get what you get. We decided to go with a condo at Villas of the Galleon!

Harbour Heights is located directly adjacent to the Public Beach so there is very loud music throughout the day late into the evening (on weekends until midnight). We stayed at Harbour Heights and the condo was very clean and well equipped but it was difficult to get any sleep due to the noise.
