Best Hotel Bets
The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman (tel. 800/241-3333; www.ritzcarlton.com). At long last, and after many delays, Grand Cayman has a Ritz-Carlton worthy of its plush name. Lining both sides of a boulevard along Seven Mile Beach, it is Europe in the tropics with a golf course. Only problem is, it's very expensive.
Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman Beach Suites, Grand Cayman (tel. 800/233-1234; www.hyattregencygrandcayman.com). A luxurious and stylish retreat, the Hyatt Regency opens onto one of the most beautiful stretches of Seven Mile Beach, 3km (2 miles) north of George Town. The resort offers the most complete water-sports program of all the hotels on Grand Cayman. For golfers, the excellent golf course makes this the obvious lodging choice.
The Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa, Grand Cayman (tel. 800/937-8461; www.westincasuarina.com), also opens onto the sands of Seven Mile Beach and is set on its own luxurious grounds. This resort is so complete that some visitors virtually never leave the complex until it's time to catch their plane back home. Featuring excellent water-sports, golf, diving, and dining, it is among the top three best resorts in the entire Cayman archipelago.
Southern Star, Cayman Brac (tel. 345/948-1577), is a complex of five town houses offering some of the most elegant and gracious living on this remote island. It stands near a reef-protected lagoon and a private sand beach with shade trees. Furnishings are stylishly Caribbean, and the space is generous.
The Club at Little Cayman, Little Cayman (tel. 345/948-1033; www.theclubatlittlecayman.com), stands on lush grounds and offers the most luxurious living on this sparsely populated island. The private villas here open onto a beach, and the complex features the island's finest pool.
