Holiday Hut’s Cayman Islands holiday specialist has compiled this informative file on the Cayman Islands to help you decide which destination to visit in 2010.
Get there
BA flies direct from London Heathrow four times a week. Direct does not mean continuous. There is a landing in the Bahamas for about 90 minutes.
When to go
In general, the weather is good throughout the year. The trade winds also ensure that it does not get too hot. The high season runs from December to April, and the rainy season runs from May to November. Hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30. The rainy season is arguably the best time to visit, as room rates can be cheaper and the beaches less crowded. Since the rain falls in short, sharp bursts, it usually doesn’t ruin the day.
Where to stay
Most of the larger hotels and apartments are right on Seven Mile Beach. I recommend the Marriott Beach Resort as it has an artificial reef just a few meters from the beach, the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman if you are looking for something fancy, the Westin Casuarina Resort as they do a great breakfast and the Sunshine Suites for the great rooms and Free WIFI. The Sunshine Suites are not on the beach but about a 4 minute walk away.
Caribbean island paradise
Seven Mile Beach is one of the best beaches in the world. Thanks to its barrier reef, the sea is generally very calm and safe for inexperienced swimmers.
