About the Book

Insightful commentary on the best places to stay, dine, and enjoy the outdoors on Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac. Up-to-the-minute coverage of the hottest shopping and nightlife on all three islands. Reviews of our favorite Cayman Islands experiences, from exploring the coast in a submarine to swimming with stingrays to visiting the world's only green sea turtle farm. Insider tips on the best deals, the most overlooked--and the most overrated--attractions, and the best places to get away from the crowds.
