Summer Travel Specials on Grand Cayman Island
Mid-April marked the start of the Caribbean’s low season, when value comes out to play, even on the most expensive islands. Through mid-December, when high-season rates kick in again, you’ll find hotel deals regionwide. And in a nod to the global economic slump, special offers are extending to new frontiers, such as dining and activities.
The Dallas News wrote up 5 of the Caribbean’s most expensive destinations and for each a sensible hotel option priced at $120 a night or less this summer and a splurge at $230. One was Grand Cayman Island.
Strategies: Although many restaurants are pricey, there are affordable options (ask expat staff in shops and hotels for suggestions). Public bus transportation on the island’s main roads costs just $1.50 a trip.
Also check out the family-friendly Cayman Summer Splash promotion that runs June 1 through Sept. 7: Kids fly free on Cayman Airways and at participating venues are admitted free. Kids ages12-17 dive for free, and younger tykes eat from the children’s menu free.
Plus, the fifth night is free at most island hotels.
Read Sensible Options and Splurge Options at the Dallas News Life/Travel page. They make Grand Cayman sound pretty inviting, "Grand Cayman is famous for first-rate diving, a flock of virtually tame stingrays and gleaming Seven Mile Beach. The island has hundreds of offshore banks, and in winter, it can feel as if you would empty a bank account just to breathe the air."
