Nice, laid back resort, at the quiet East End of the Island. You need a car.

Stayed many years ago...no elevator back then. They were refurbishing or beginning to. Right on the beach and we liked it. Our unit was beach front. Staff nice. Supermarket nearby, walking distance. Location does require a car if you plan to do any sightseeing.

I’m planning a trip in June 2023. I reserved a 2 BR unit. We like the idea of being on the quieter side of the island and plan to rent a car to site see.

Any recommendations for restaurants to try near George Town or 7 mile beach? No dietary restrictions and love good food! Also any recommendations for places to see and do? We will consider site seeing tours as well.

Also, I’ve seen in my confirmation letter to expect to pay $75-$250/week (2 BR) for energy surcharge. And to expect a Cayman Island room tax of $30/day (2 BR). Does this sound about right?

Also, what are the requirements for Covid shots/testing upon entry at the resort? We’ve had Covid shots and boosted.

Appreciate your help and information. Thanks.

The Cayman timeshare tax is $10 per day. The energy surcharge is based on how much electricity you used during the week. Cayman just got rid of the pre-entry testing requirement but you still have to register with and be approved by Travel Cayman. If you are vaccinated, you do not have to quarantine.

Hello Mahlon. Do you know of a good car rental company? Thank you.

Hello. Do you have a recommendation for car rental? We’re going the end of February.

We are in Cayman now. The car rental market here is a bit competitive at present time. More requests than cars available, We struck out at Andy’s, Rodney's, and Cayman Auto(Georgetown). We secured a 9 day rental from Marshall’s, only after booking online, and then calling the morning of, to confirm the rental. They don’t charge for a second driver, and didn’t give us the hard sell, or fear and doubt, when declining insurance. It can be crazy, busy here some days. The cruises are back….10+ per week. East End continues to be a lot quieter.

Tip: Download the map of Grand Cayman to Google Maps, with all favorites saved, before leaving home. The navigation will still work, with voice instructions, even when your Iphone is in airplane mode, and cellular is turned off. Also, enable wi-fi calling; I have been able to call back to the states from the wi-fi provided by the resorts, without incurring any cellular service charges.

on an iPhone you've got to turn off cellular data as it will default to that even when WiFi calling is enabled, lesson learned in Germany many years ago

Thankyou.
Hi. I posted this on another page, but I see you are an owner. I am looking to visit GC again and would like Tortuga. Unfortunately once when we went we were at the adult pool and I would have liked to be by the premier pool. They had told me at that time it depended on your check in day. Is that true? I am handicap and I love the activity there and the pool bar. Do you know what check in day I should try for? Thank you.

We just got back from a two week stay on Grand Cayman.
The first week we stayed at Morrits Tortuga Club, 6/10 - 6/17.
We were pleased with our accommodations. The unit had everything we needed.
The beach was nice but it did have a little seaweed.
Several swimming pools are available though. The exercise room was good. A couple restaurants are on site and a market is within walking distance. The East End is pretty nice and quiet.

The second week we stayed in George Town at the Seven Mile Beach Resort, 6/17 - 6/24.
That was an enjoyable week as well. Having more shopping and restaurant choices was a plus.
If we were to go back to Grand Cayman, we would choose Morrits on the East End though.

We are thinking of cancelling our Maui trip end of September and thinking of going to Morritt's GC instead. Any comment regarding the season? I know it is hurricane season. Thank you
