GRAND CAYMAN ROMANTIC RESORTS
Most visitors to
Grand Cayman stay along Seven Mile Beach just outside of George
Town. OK, it's only five and a half miles long, but with this
kind of beauty, who's counting? Along this busy stretch you'll
find luxurious hotels, fine restaurants, nightclubs, and most
of the activity on the island.

Cayman Villas manages numerous properties on Grand Cayman as
well as on the Sister Islands, many aimed at middle to upper
level travelers. "More and more private houses and exclusive
(very deluxe) condos are being built," notes Penny Cumber,
managing director for Cayman Villas. "Both houses and condos
are becoming more deluxe, many of which have a private pool,
some with Jacuzzi and gym. Yes, there is a building boom and
most especially on Grand Cayman and Little Cayman."
Aside from its most
luxurious properties, Cayman Villas also offers properties for
the average traveler. Over 100 properties, some starting at
$99 a night, are represented. "Cayman Villas specializes
in beachfront condos and private houses ranging from economy
to deluxe, from studios to seven bedrooms. Most condos are on
Seven Mile Beach. Most private houses are at Cayman Kai but
there are many other quiet beaches around Grand Cayman, Cayman
Brac and Little Cayman on which we also have villas. Guests
can be on their own private beach and in the midst of all the
action."

Located two miles from George Town and about four miles from
the airport, this convenient property is located on a beautiful
stretch of Seven Mile Beach. Swimmers and snorkelers can enjoy
calm waters and a small coral reef just offshore or learn scuba
diving or book dive trips through the on-site shop. Oceanfront
rooms include private balconies with good beach views and are
worth a somewhat long walk to the elevators in this 305-room
hotel.
Hotel Features: beachfront, casual and fine dining, pool and
hot tub, dive shop, wave runners, windsurfing, shopping arcade,

We visited this property when construction was still underway
and every time we return we love the finished product. The newest
hotel in Grand Cayman is built on a strip of beach bordered
by willowy casuarina trees. The hotel has 340 guest rooms, most
with breathtaking views of the sea from step-out balconies.
The hotel has the feel of a conference property, with a slightly
dress-up atmosphere in the main lobby. Hotel Features: beachfront,
casual and fine dining restaurants, pools, whirlpools, tennis,
fitness facilities, beauty salons, masseuse and masseur
