The Cayman Islands

Whisky or Pina Colada? How about both?! Old-world Brittania meets the spicy Caribbean on the Grand Cayman Islands, a British crown colony dropped smack in the sunny tropics. Don't let the slow pace of this island paradise fool you - residents of the Grand Cayman Islands take life as it comes to them, with a laid-back West Indian charm, and enjoy it to its fullest. From Grand Cayman to Little Cayman to Cayman Brac you will notice that on the Grand Cayman Islands courtesy is king, whether that means serving its guests with the utmost regard or merely striking up a friendly conversation at the local cafe. Perhaps its the mix of people that makes the Grand Cayman Islands an all-around spectacular place to visit; Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and a mosaic of other ethnicities are represented on the Grand Cayman Islands, often within one sun-kissed face.
