Choose Where to Stay in Grand Cayman

1. Stay in a luxury condo on the beach for the ultimate private accommodations. Sizes and prices vary enormously, but expect to pay at least several thousand dollars per week for luxury accommodations in the East End and North Shore. To book accommodations, contact the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism at [phone] or visit their Web site (see Resources, below).
2. Choose accommodations on Seven Mile Beach for access to one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Rooms in luxury 4-star resorts generally range in price from $200 to $400.
3. Expect to pay a lot for accommodations, whether luxury or moderate. Hotels in the Cayman Islands are not cheap and most feature premium amenities.

Get to and Around Grand Cayman

4. Fly into Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town to get to Grand Cayman. The airport is served mainly by inter-island flights and international flights from various cities in Florida.
5. Visit Grand Cayman on a cruise ship as part of a tour of the Western Caribbean or the Cayman Islands. Cruises offer tremendous value with accommodations, meals and some activities included in the fare. Cruise ships dock in the port town of George Town.
6. Rent a car or scooter to get around the island. Both are widely available and reasonably priced.

Plan for Your Trip to Grand Cayman

7. Get travel insurance if you are planning to visit Grand Cayman during hurricane season between July and November. Having your vacation ruined by a hurricane is unlikely, but better to be safe than sorry.
