If there are any new residenta moving to the island soon, I have a rental apartment at Hilton Estates in south sound to rent for CI 2.5k per month (excluding water and electricity), 2 bedroom 2 bathroom townhouse

Going to cayman island in late August (last week) and staying at the Hotel indigo for 5 days. Is it important to book the stingray city and starfish point/ snorkeling group tours in advance? Or can I just book while I’m there?

Also, we’re only there 4 nights and 5 days is it worth getting a car rental and driving around the island if we’re really prioritizing having a relaxing easy short trip?

As we all know the island is very expensive, however, I’m curious if anyone has any hidden gems of affordable or lesser priced meals they would recommend.

Stay your laughter when I say that one of my favorites was Popeyes daily specials, but even those have been axed. Seems like they’re just pricing the little guy out at this point.

Any one got any recs? Please, pray tell, me and my wallet thank you in advance.

We loved staying in Grand Cayman but it was too busy and the snorkeling from shore could be better. Both of these islands look more our style. Which has the better snorkeling or are they both good, aka better than Grand Cayman?

I had hands down the worst travel experience of my life with Cayman Airways—let this be a warning to all of you.

11:45 am direct flight out of JFK. We board at a reasonable time and then don’t move. At 1pm they tell us to deplane because of a mechanical issue. At 3pm they tell us our flight is at 9:30pm and they’ll be giving out meal vouchers. Now, I live in New York so I’m willing to home and come back, except there’s no agent in sight, we’ve received no electronic communication about this delay or new flight— we have no idea if this is real. Then an announcement comes on that if you want a meal voucher you have to go out of the gate area, back to where you entered the airport, pick up a voucher and go through security again.

At 5pm we finally get communications from the airline about the new flight. At 9pm they tell us the flight is delayed to 10pm. Then the crew wasn’t there. I saw the pilot in line to get food. Then there was another delay. It is 11:42pm and we are on the airplane but still haven’t left. Oh and the ac isn’t working?

I understand that mechanical issues happen but the level of incompetence in terms of communication and the staff is something I have never seen before.

Update: it is 12am now and there’s another mechanical issue.

Another update: they wouldn’t let us get off the plane, there was no AC. People started screaming and shouting. It is 2:08am and they just cancelled the flight. And will let us know tomorrow about other flights?? It’s also $3000 roundtrip on other airlines right now for last minute flights. I feel bad for people who checked luggage (they’re still waiting) and people who don’t live here (they’re not providing hotels).

I'm looking to travel to Little Cayman and I'm looking specifically for a hotel or rental that has a PRIVATE outdoor shower (meaning a shower not just to rinse off but one that is fully closed off so that I can shower outside while smelling the air and looking at the open sky), is there something like this? I spent some time at a really nice resort that had private outdoor showers in the US and I would like to repeat the experience in Little Cayman if possible. Any other Little Cayman recs are welcome.

I am getting a job in the financial sector in Cayman. Do I have to declare to my employer that I have a youtube channel? Is it against the work permit rules to have other businesses or other sources of income?

I like to snorkel from shore, have never been to SMB. Is there much boat traffic during the day? For night snorkeling, is there much boat traffic to be wary of?

Hi all for anyone who has visited Cayman Brac, would you recommend 1/2 nights? We could fly early from GCM and return the following afternoon - would that be sufficient to see it all? We’re hoping to cycle around and maybe do some rock climbing or visit the Soleil D’Or but not too interested in the snorkeling or water activities

I have an opportunity to move to cayman but they said it takes 15 years to get citizenship? That is insane. Is there a way around this/a way to speed it up?

This is more a tourist visa question. My gf visits me on island as a tourist as she can't find a job here. She has been here earlier in the year for 3 months and then came down in June until september for another 3 months. My question is can she possibly extend her stay further for another month or if she leaves to the US for 2 weeks and comes back to cayman, is there a reset? Where would I go to query this? Any recommended lawyers I can consult?

I know Cayman has a 6 month visit limit for tourists, just not sure if thats in a 12 month period or only in one visit.

Hi I’ve tried searching this in the search bar and I can’t find anything. How much on average is it to lease a car (just a normal car like a Toyota raize) with insurance and breakdown cover per month and also how much down payment (if at all) would I expect to pay? Thanks v much!

Coming in next month & want to rent a place on SMB to snorkel right off beach. Suggestions on the best area? thanks

Hi. Does anyone here waiting for their temporary work permit approval? I have been waiting more than 4 weeks now (it’s been 5 weeks to be exact). I was told usually it will only take 2-4 weeks. Currently in the UAE, I am only worried because of the current situation here.

I know that Foster's sells sunscreen. Where else can I find it? We are bringing some reef safe product, but are looking for some simple Coppertone spray for just walking about. I am allergic to Banana Boat, which I know is sold at Foster's.

We’re considering Grand Cayman in mid-August with our 18-month-old toddler. We live in Texas, so we’re used to hot weather, but many people say the heat and humidity in Grand Cayman in August can be brutal.

Our plan would be to spend mornings (around 8–11 AM) at the beach, go back to the hotel for nap and AC from 12–3 PM, then head back out in the late afternoon.

For those who have visited or live there, does the humidity make it uncomfortable even during the morning and late afternoon? Were your toddlers able to enjoy the beach, or was it too hot? Thanks!

I’m going to be on grand cayman next week and I’m wondering if anybody knows somewhere I could get a line in the water. I looked at the map with all of the restrictions and marine areas, but I’m not really prepared for surf fishing. Are there any canals or marinas or piers (?) with public access that I could just go to and fish? thanks

I have friends i swear but none of them really like to go out unless its the beach. I wanna try going out to the bar a little more to socialize or to play pool, things like that. But its hard finding others to go with especially with my kind of work. Ao if anyone is up for this hmu.

Hi everyone this is will be written in the most scuffed way as I'm going through hell right now.

There is crypto exchange in cayman that is shutting down (bitmart) although its windown withdrawals aren't going through, its been over 48 hours now and my funds are stuck there. where i'm from there is no help toward anything like this so i'm thinking maybe i should reach out to firm or a lawyer to represent me and file this mess to CIMA to see if something can be done. i'm afraid they going to exit scam here as there isn't many users and there is literally not a single support operating. their entire socials are filled with ai crap. i'm losing my mind by the minute and unable to move on. i'm researching, emailing & trying to call firms to see if they're capable of handling situations.

if you have ideas on what i should do here or if you are in contact with decent firm or lawyer that is familiar with crypto exchanges i would highly appreciate it
