Made this for some friends that were first timers. It may help. Hopefully Cayman will be open by January and the resort reopened.
Things you must do!

https://www.stingraycitycaymanislands.com/ - we usually hook up with a bartender at the resort named Norman to go on his boat with other guests, I can FB message him to get you on his boat that week. He is a really fun guy and its probably the most famous thing to do in the Caymans. Just let me know if you want me to reach out. Or any one you book though will be good. The beach that the boats leave from for sting ray city is called rum point is also a super fun beach to hang out at

Drive over to the other side of the island to “seven mile beach”

https://www.grandoldhouse.com/ Grand old house is your spot. Yes its expensive but unforgettable sunset view s on a dock with amazing food. We spend the whole day over on that side then bring a change of clothes and change at this public beach called smiths cove which has showers and a bathroom

Food!
The Italian kitchen – we love this place, its right across from the resort which is nice because you can walk there.

Tukka- great dinner but also on Sunday they do an amazing AYCD brunch, the restaurant offers a free shuttle that will pick you up from the resort so you don’t have to worry about driving. Ask the front desk at the hotel to call for the shuttle for you.

Eagle Rays- You MUST eat the lion fish tacos! They are the best fish tacos I have ever had!!!
https://compasspointdiveresort.com/dining/eagle-ray-bar-grill Good place for dinner but also a great place for lunch
Over the edge- A staple restaurant, super casual but legit Cayman food. Get the conk fritters and Caribbean lobster

The light house- If you want to do a fine dining place, but it is expensive

Taco Cantina- Great taco place for dinner

Big Tree BBQ- Great local Caribbean BBQ, can get food to go and bring back to place as its literally a local place in there front yard lol
Mimis- the dock bar at the resort, a great place to chill in and do dinner or lunch.
Picking up food and beer for the resort!
Grocery Store- Fosters Grocery store- 33 Hurst Road Grand Cayman KY KY1 1500, 33 Hirst Rd, Savannah, Cayman Islands (I would hit that on your way down from the airport driving to the resort) A LOT of grocery stores are closed Sundays so be careful of that. I would hit that if you guys need specialty food or think you will be eating in a lot.
