Three days — private sailing charter to Stingray City, sunset dinner at a reef restaurant, and a private snorkel guide to the best walls.
Land, get to the hotel, walk to the beach. This is the best beach in the Caribbean for just being in the water — do nothing your first afternoon.
Kaibo on the north shore has the best sunset view on the island — facing due west over the North Sound. The bar is casual; the view is the point. Order a Dark and Stormy.
Taxis are everywhere but metered at CI$2.50/mile — quick airport to hotel trips are fine, but they add up for a multi-day trip. Renting a car for $60–80/day makes more sense if you plan to drive east. Drive on the left.
The gold standard on Seven Mile Beach — beach access, multiple pools, a Blue Tip golf course, and a spa. The rooms facing the beach are worth the premium. Rates $500–900/night in high season.
Book a private catamaran for the day — Stingray City in the morning, snorkeling at coral gardens after lunch, sunset sail back. Cayman Catamaran Charters or Blue Tip run private full-day charters for $600–900 for two people. Worth it.
Italian-Caribbean fusion on the beach — the risotto with local lionfish is the signature. Candlelit tables on a deck over the water. One of the best meals on the island. Reserve in advance.
Grand Cayman's north wall drops from 60 feet to thousands — one of the top 10 dive walls in the world. Even non-divers can do a PADI Discover Scuba experience in one day. Eden Rock Dive Center in George Town is the most organized operation on the island.
Grand Cayman accepts USD everywhere. The exchange rate is fixed: 1 KYD = $1.25 USD. Give USD, get change in KYD — this is how you 'accidentally' save money. Credit cards are widely accepted.
