GRAND CAYMAN IN A NUTSHELL
This trio of islands enjoys the highest standard of living in the Caribbean and, as a result, visitors can expect extremely high standards of hospitality in every way – it's clean, everything works (pretty well on time!) and the atmosphere is warmly welcoming. Catherine, our MD, used to manage the tourist office, so you know who to call if you want to know more about this sophisticated but friendly British Overseas Territory! We continue to be impressed by the strict policing of Cayman's precious marine environment – the healthy reefs are living proof that marine protection laws can and do work. On Grand Cayman, there's more to do than many people realise and the two sister islands offer a contrasting escape for a day trip or longer.
CARIBTOURS' PERSONAL VIEW
Catherine still rates this as one of the best diving destinations, for all standards, and adds: "I especially recommend Grand Cayman for a family holiday not least as there is so much of interest for children from the turtles at the Turtle Farm to Stingray City. There's a good range of suitable accommodation and dining out is a pleasure for all the family."
DID YOU KNOW...?
You can send a postcard from Hell – a unique spiky rock formation surrounded by mangroves (and it even has its own post office!). The famous Seven Mile Beach is actually only five and a half miles long.
In keeping with the Hyatt tradition, this 90-acre colonial style resort - the Hyatt Regency Resort - is renowned for world-class service and luxury accommodation in an elegant colonial setting.
With such a comprehensive range of facilities, it’s hard to tear yourself away from the resort. It is well-located for making the most of everything else which Grand Cayman has to offer from shopping to swimming with the stingrays, dining to diving.
