Anyone ever been to Grand Cayman?

We're going in a few weeks and we were just wondering if there was anything that's a "must do" down there.

Any restaurant recommendations would also be super helpful

Thanks ladies!

Re: Anyone ever been to Grand Cayman?

We are there a couple of years ago. We LOVED the beach at Rum Point, which is on the other side of the island from the main beaches. We also had a lot of fun at the turtle farm.

There was one restaurant that really stood out. I think it was called Portofino's, but I'm going to double-check with my ILs.

NICE! Thanks Ladies! Yea I want to take a day trip out to Rum point one day to hang for a bit. I wonder if there's a catamaran tour that will take us there AND sting ray city???

I want to make a little trip to Hell when I first get there too and send out pot cards

Re: Anyone ever been to Grand Cayman?

I was there last February and about 10 other times before. Where are you staying. Rum point is beautiful for snorkeling. They also have a restaurant right on the site. Be aware, cruise ships bring their people there. Stingray city is also best visited later in the day or whenthere are few cruise ships in port. You can google to find out when they are in port. If you like local music there is a guy "Barefoot man" who sings some pretty catchy tunes. He is at one of the hotels on the East end. It's a dinner with music. I remember hearing him when I was little. There is Smiths Cove which is south of Georgetown which has good snorkeling. The turtle farm is cute... good if you have kids. I don't know if its opened or not but they were going to have a swim with the dolphins across from the turtle farm. You must go to Hell... tourist trap great place to send a postcard from Hell. Eats Cafe is good for lunch. Cayman is $$$.

ETA: We did a dinner cruise right off the Westin. It was nice to see 7MB while eating dinner. There is also a submarine, Atlantis.... Hmm what else...

Re: Anyone ever been to Grand Cayman?
