Grand Cayman Favorites

Favorite thing: Scuba Diving is great there,. They have many sights for both beginers and advanced divers, from shallow to the Caman Brac Wall.
Stingray city is a must for all even snokellers.
They are friendly people and the weather is always great.

Fondest memory: The peace and quiet. It really is pure paradise.

Favorite thing: Staying in a room with a kitchen at The Turtle Nest Inn was my smartest move, and made my mornings more leisurely. The Turtle Nest now also handles bookings for On The Bay condos, along the north side of Grand Cayman.
For divers, the shore dives are great, and you have your choice of several waterfront hotels specifically designed for divers (e.g. the Seaview & the Sunset Beach).

Favorite thing: It's seven years good luck to kiss a Stingray, and I could really use that luck. At first the rays seem a bit intimidating, but after being in the water a few minutes around them it's actually pretty cool.
The real fun starts when you bring out the squid to feed them. These creatures eat by sucking to food right out of your hand, and it's likely one will suck your arm or hand. Don't worry, they have no teeth. Their mouths feel more like rough sandpaper.
When holding one you've got to keep their head under water. Always hold them from the front. Let the ray rest gently on your outstretched arms, while you relax. If you lift their heads out of the water you'll get a stingray shower as they blow water out of their mouths.

Favorite thing: Going out onto the open waters is fun, glass bottom boats aren't all they are cracked up to be, because if you are moving all you see is a bunch of bubbles under the boat....this picture was taken while on a glass bottom boat

Favorite thing: Head to a local Foster's Food Fair Supermarket! You can find one on West Bay Road near Hyatt Regency Hotel. We stopped in and picked up plenty of snacks for the beach/pool and to keep in the room. We also grabbed a bunch of iced tea 6 packs and water bottles, they came in handly so we didn't have to hit the ridiculously expensive mini-bar!

Favorite thing: My favourite thing about Grand Cayman would have to be renting snorkelling equipment and swimming on the reef. The water is a beautiful blue and feels like heaven and sun warmed skin.

Fondest memory: My fondest memory would be watching the clown fish play around my feet. If are completely still the fish aren't scared of you and will play around your feet. It's a definite breathtaking experience.

Favorite thing: Possibly the best standard of living of the islands in the Caribbean. This might be perhaps due to the numerous foreign banks and investments from elsewhere. Nice medium to high quality shopping and touristy restaurants in town. Lots of activities on, in, and under the water. Numerous hotels of moderate to high quality yet still affordable. Popular place to fly into for a long weekend, or stop for the day by cruiseships. Still a British flavor on the island. Great rum, rum cakes, jewelry, perfumes, and usual fare for shopping.

Favorite thing: All the beaches on Grand Cayman are public ones
This means that even if you are staying in the worst, cheapest or tattyest place on the island you can go and sit on the beach outside the largest grandest hotel and dream........
