If you are planning a 2005 visit to the Cayman Islands, the Westin Casuarina is open and worth considering.
The hotel's oversized marble bathrooms, ceiling fans, and French doors opening to the balcony of its Caribbean-decorated all appeal. Swimmers will find the multi-level swimming pools where waterfalls cascade from one tier to the next particularly refreshing. The Westin also offers a hurricane guarantee.
Planning a lowkey 2005 reopening, the well-regarded Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort on Seven Mile Beach features business services as well as a full complement of leisure activities.
Luxury Resorts Coming to the Cayman Islands
Couples have two new luxury resorts to look forward to in the Cayman Islands.- Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman - opened December 2005 in the center of Seven Mile Beach. The ultra-luxury resort's English-Colonial architecture and interior design features white roofs and ivory-colored buildings. Throughout the hotel, arched doorways and high ceilings reveal panoramic ocean views.
- The Mandarin Oriental Grand Cayman - on course to open in 2007.
Best Buys: Stores in George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands on Grand Cayman, display lots of jewelry and sculptures made from black coral or orange-hued caymanite. Shoppers can also find antique gold coins retrieved from sunken vessels alongside new china, crystal, linens, gold jewelry, perfume, and leather goods.
Note: The Cayman Islands is not hospitable to gay visitors. In 1998 officials would not permit a vessel chartered by an agency that specializes in gay travel to dock at Grand Cayman.
