TY for your honest assessment of an Island I’ve often thought about, and funny thing, the two negatives you cited - cost factor and closeness of beach lounges - are the two things that have always caused us to say ‘maybe next year’ with regard to the Caymans.

And with regard to the cold, we spent New Years on St John and the USVI one year and couldn’t believe the differences in water temps between there and St. Maarten. But it was still a very pleasant vacation.
