George Town

Grand Cayman is the largest and most developed of the Cayman Islands, including Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. George Town is the capital city, located on the west side Grand Cayman. It is the center of government,...

Pros: Great place to enjoy water related activities.
Cons: Hurricane damage may delay your visit!

We were in Grand Cayman last December and as we have friends who reside there, I thought I would provide a link for an update for people planning to visit the island and give some input to cruise passengers. As you may already know, Grand Cayman was hit ...

Pros: Beautiful Water, Tons of things to Do
Cons: None

As all of you who read my epinions know, about a month or so ago my family, and I went on a cruise. We stopped at three places. One of the places we stopped was the Cayman Islands. We docked the ship at a little place called George Town. And what a place...

Pros: Beautiful reefs, very friendly people
Cons: Expensive, traffic on 7 mile beach

Yes, the Cayman Islands are expensive. Everything has to be shipped in and the US dollar is worth only 80 cents Cayman. But, there are ways to enjoy your visit without going broke. 7 Mile Beach is famous for its glitzy hotels and resorts, but there are...

Pros: Submarine Rides and Great Dives.
Cons: Overpriced Souvenirs and restaurants. Cruise ship heaven.

Take a look at the duty free shop in the airport when you land at Grand Cayman. George town is just a larger version comprised mostly of restaurants, t-shirt shops, places to buy gallons of expensive perfume, and shops that carry every Rolex ever made....

Pros: Stingray City, Tortuga Rum Company
Cons: Margaritaville Cafe

If you arrive by ship, you will likely anchor offshore and tender in to this port. We walked around the pier shops awaiting our privately arranged Sting Ray City / Coral Gardens tour with Native Way at noon. There were 13 folks on our tour. We boarded a ...

Pros: Clean, beautiful beaches and water for diving, minimal hassles from locals
Cons: Expensive, cruiseships will not tender if rough waters

One of the ports visited on our recent Royal Caribbean cruise was Grand Cayman. This was an eagerly awaited port since I've been there before but wanted to take my girlfriend scuba diving there. We were worried that we might miss this port since the ...

Pros: Best Scuba Diving Around
Cons: Not much else to do on island but Scuba Dive

Scuba Diving in the Cayman's can't be beat. This was the best experience of my life. The water is 80-82% in you can see for ever. From someone who lives and scuba dives in the cold murky waters of New England this was a wonderful trip.

The...

Pros: City is clean and safe
Cons: Prices are high

Georgetown in Grand Cayman is one of the best cities in the Caribbean. Clean, friendly, and the feeling of being very safe. We were there 3 years ago, and just went back last week, and I am ready to go again.

The downtown area has all kinds...

Pros: easy walking distance along storefronts, nice water, glass bottom boats
Cons: prices are very high, lots of traffic

A day trip to Grand Cayman enabled me to visit George Town, the largest city of the island. It is a great place to visit. We spent most of our time in the shops, and believe me there are plenty of shops. Beware - prices in George Town are really high....

Pros: Excellent water, Nice beaches, friendly people
Cons: You have to go home

After going to Grand Cayman with my family, how could I not write a review. It was the most beautiful island I had seen. The water is a turquois blue color and crystal clear. If you enjoy scuba diving, then look no further. Grand Cayman not only has...

Pros: George Town was a lovely place to spend a lazy afternoon.
Cons: Things are WAY more expensive than in the USA.

George Town is the kind of place one would spend an afternoon, but certainly don't plan a week there. From an afternoon of self-navigation, i found that George Town is curiously overpopulated with Hair salons and Chinese grocers, but little else. Miles...

Pros: Fun, Low Prices
Cons: Not the lowest prices

The Cayman Islanders make a big deal about how shopping in Georgetown will result in big savings. I suggest that you take that proposal with a grain of Caribbean salt and go to enjoy it for what it is ---good shopping fun. Yes the prices are pretty good,...

Pros: NONE !!!!!
Cons: READ REVIEW
WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY !

DON’T IN GRAND CAYMAN ! Whatever you do don’t book a trip with Ambassador Divers! Our family recently traveled to Grand Cayman and booked two excursions with Ambassador Divers, needless to say we cancelled the second. To start off we were ...
