Where to Stay:
If you choose to stay in a hotel, there are several to consider: Treasure Island, Comfort Suites, The Courtyard Marriott Inn, The Marriott, Ritz Carlton Resort, The Westin, and The Hyatt.

But families often find that renting a condo is better value. If two couples share a two-bedroom condo, for example, the per-person cost is much less than in a hotel. In any case, access to a kitchen will reduce the cost of your holiday substantially.

There is a wide range of condos available for daily rental on Seven Mile Beach. For example, Seagull Condos, located on one of the best stretches of the Beach and opposite the West Shore shopping plaza, offers one-bedroom condos (generally hard to find). Villas of the Galleon is a very pretty resort containing two-bedroom units, approximately mid-way along the Beach. Silver Sands Condos is located at the quiet north end of the Beach and is less handy to shopping but provides luxuriously spacious three-bedroom units. Sunshine Suites also offers wonderful lodging and a great centralized location.

Where to Eat:
Here are some favourites of my own. Their quality has stood the test of time, and the prices are not exorbitant... which is hard to find!

Liberty's: This West Bay landmark gives you a feast of homestyle Caymanian fare.

Cracked Conch: One of the oldest most respected restaurants on the island with a great location right on the water.

Lonestar: Another great sports bar with excellent dishes.

Durty Reid's: Surly help, lousy food... a great place.

Calypso Grill: Morgan's Harbour in West Bay. Excellent seafood overlooking the north sound.

Chef Ottmar's - Fisherman's Reef Bar and Grill: Morgan's Harbour in West Bay. Excellent seafood overlooking the north sound.
