The Caymans (specifically Georgetown) can be quiet if there no cruiseships in port or if there are just some smaller ones.
But add 3 ships with 2,000 to 3,000 passengers each, plus ship crews, and downtown can fill up quick. The good thing is that there is more energy then--good if you seek it, bad if you are trying to avoid it.
That is why having access to and using a beachfront home in the Cayman's is an ideal way to get the best the island has to offer both on land and on water. I'm referring to the beautiful complex of SeaCliff Beach Resort homes (email me for details or check my tip on accomodations).
The water invites only a few people to come to the Cayman Island in the first place, but brings many back to the Island as a result.
The waters around the Caymans are clear, warm and full of life.
Whether you wish to swim and interact with the famous North Sound stingrays or just dip your toes in the calm waters, there is something for everyone here and the waters have a way of calming you.
Beachfront homes I have can allow access to on the east end of Grand Cayman are situated right on a gorgeous marine preserve (Sea Cliff Beach Resort homes). Email me for details or check my tip on accomodations.
Of course, for the more adventurous (or less?), there is always the rooftop pool at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville downtown.
While the Caymans have their touristy side, there is also much to see and do that won't be found in the regular travel resources.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with just hanging on a beach somewhere, enjoying some local cuisine and soaking up the rays.
My favorite thing to do is to rest and relax in one of the Sea Cliff Beach resort homes on the east end (Cottage area) of Grand Cayman about 20 minutes east of downtown Georgetown. Whether it is enjoying a jacuzzi soak overlooking a pristine marine preserve and reef or soaking up the sun the beach just steps away from the back porch, this location has it all for a tropical paradise getaway holiday rental. (Email me for details or see my tip on accommodations).
- Pros:Clean, friendly people, lots to see and do on land and sea
- Cons:Relatively expensive, crowded when cruiseships are there
- In a nutshell:I've been 4 times recently and will continue to return as often as possible to the SeaCliff Beach resort homes

You lovely in Pink Ann! Looks like you had a fabulous time! Nice page!
It looks like you would have a hard time tearing away from the spot on the beach. The trip sounds wonderful, and glad you had a good time.
A pity VT didn't have a separate section for cruises. We have wondered about doing this one, it looks like you had a great time. We like Princess cruises too, have been on the Diamond Princess and that was excellent as well.
You've stayed at all fabulous resorts and found the Earth paradise, Ann! Congratulations! Well done! ><<
Ann, Great tips on Grand Cayman. So there is a Georgetown there too. The city of Penang Island is also called Georgetown. Cheers, SL :)
I'm jealous Ann! I wanna go!! :o) Those houses on the beach look fabulous!! :o) xx
Hi Ann, Wasted away again in Margaritaville..yeah!!! always had this on my list..hopefully next year when in the US. and Central America....great pages and tips thanks mate..take it easy..Denny P
Woohoooo Rock'N Roll and cocktails on the beach. What more do you want. Looks like you had some wonderful time. :-)
Hi Ann. I have just booked a Princess cruise (on the the brand new Ruby) for next Easter for me, hubby and son! Will be visiting the same ports as you except the Panama Canal part of your trip. Glad I stumbled across your excellent tips tonight! Marion x
You really had the best of both worlds--on land and at sea! Pure Paradise!! Gosh I love cruising!! Grreat tips, Anne!
