We stayed at La Cabana on Eagle Beach and loved it (this was in 2019). Yes, there is more going on in the Palm Beach area, but it is not a bad drive from Eagle Beach to Palm Beach for dinner, etc... I think Eagle Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen. We rented a car and explored the entire island. Went to Palm Beach for dinner several times. One our favorite memories is dinner/dancing at Bugaloe Beach Bar and Grill. I would absolutely go back to Aruba. Was in SXM last year, going to Caymans next year. I do keep up to date with SXM on this forum. We LOVE SXM!!!

Thanks Crazycanuxx! I think I recognize you from the St Martin forum. We are in the beginning planning stage for a 5 night trip to GC post 3 night cruise on Celebrity June 2027. Looks like an easy flight from Miami and we have always wanted to go to Caymans. Went to SXM last year with my extended family. We had a great time and plan to go back at some point, but have other vacation spots to check off the list first. We are looking at possibly staying at Regal Beach Club on SMB. Looks like nice condos close to food and shopping. Debating on car rental since driving on the left side of the road is intimidating for us. I will probably bite the bullet and rent one. There are a few excursions on the list -- Stingray City/Starfish Island. We love to snorkel, so will plan on a lot of that. Rum Point looks interesting so will explore over that way some, as well. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

The weather was fantastic with no sargassum to report on 7mb.

Camana Bay restos were unusually quiet due to the holidays, per staff. This area is lovely for exclusive shopping and dining on the water.

The camana bay mexican resto was mid...nothing spectacular. You order by the unit so prices are deceiving.. ie 1 taco is 10?kyd, or so.

Spanglish in 7mb plaza was tops....a must try is mango marguerita. I really enjoyed my large quesadilla tho the lobster was salty.

Grand Cayman Burgers were good. Located in a plaza in 7mb

7mb during Easter weekend was fun. Lots of locals tenting in a very organized manner. Loud music is banned on the beach, btw. There was lots of sand to spread out. The water was calm and crystal clear. I saw one fish. As the beach is very wide, there is little shade. The entrance to the water had an 8in? corally drop. The rest is magical.

On 7mb you can rent jet skis shaped as sports cars. Looks fun when you see sports cars jetting on the horizon. Parasailing is also an option.

Fosters grocery store in West Bay is very well stocked. They also have a small bulk items section (case lots). Theres a smaller McRuss groceries nearby. It says they are open 24hrs...take your chances as I never stepped foot in the store.

The busses are reliable and 2kyd for most legs. In West Bay there are many lines (bus routes are identified by colour) and since im staying near perimeter road, my bus wait was always short. For a few more kyd ask the bus driver to drop you off closer to home on hopping in. Sometimes they will. Or hitch hike. Rides are easy to come by.

To go further afield, theres an agent in the Georgetown bus depot kiosk for info.

In Georgetown, theres a lovely handmade shop. She has lovely items worth a visit. I cant recall the shop's name, but its on a side street, one block from the water (near kfc???).

And for my Canadian friends, Im told this Timmies is one of the good ones. Even the doughnuts taste better here. Thoughts?

A visit to a distillery is fun on a rainy day. I think it was 20kyd for a tasting and (opens door and points) tour. (St Lucia has the rum tasting self pour top award).

My thoughts are scrambled, as was this trip. I highly recommend Cayman Islands.

Enjoy your stay,

We ended up booking at the Royalton Grenada on Magazine Beach. All inclusive, right on the beach, and seemed to have very good reviews. It will feel different not being on a boat though.
Should be fun.

I've stayed at La Sagesse a couple of times because it is perfect for my requirements. Clean rooms, no A/C, bug-tight screens, right on a private large and protected beach with a good restaurant. No TVs in the rooms, but fast Wi-Fi. The view below was from my balcony, the beach starts right at the trees.
