GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS

Grand Cayman is the largest of the three islands in the Caribbean Sea, that make up the British Overseas Territory of the Cayman Islands. Its 196 square kilometers (76 square miles), and every mile is stunning! From its beautiful lagoon, famous Seven Mile Beach, impeccable dive sights, rich history & art, countless soft white sand beaches, intriguing blowholes, stunning marine life, glowing-blue bioluminescence bay, and gorgeous caves, exploring this island is a must!

Sunshine Suites Resort & The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa
I initially wanted to stay at The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach & Spa due to it's fantastic location & stunning multimillion dollar renovation! When I started looking deeper, I found a place called Sunshine Suites Resort that was right behind The Westin (across the street)! At Sunshine, the grounds were so well-maintained, it has one of the best restaurants on the island, and it was just a short walk to The Westin & Seven Mile Beach! Come to find out, Sunshine is The Westin's sister resort! So when you book to stay with Sunshine, you have full access to all of the amenities that The Westin has to offer! With that fantastic news, I immediately booked a Studio Suite at Sunshine Suites!! My suite, #319, was very large, with a nice kitchen, and a view of the pool & well-known restaurant! I couldn't have asked for a better deal! The food really was incredible, and the access to The Westin was amazing! Their restaurants were absolutely delicious, the grounds were absolutely stunning, and it was on the ideal spot along the northern section of Seven Mile Beach! I definitely recommend this "two-for-one" deal, as it gives you the luxury of the beautiful 5-star resort The Westin, while staying at a more quaint, personable resort, Sunshine Suites Resort!

Exploring Grand Cayman
There is no question why Seven Mile Beach is named one of the "Best Beaches in the Caribbean"! The crystal clear blue waters, soft white sand, and it being the perfect spot to watch the sun set into the sea, makes it such a magical beach! In the beautiful areas of George Town, Bodden Town, and South Sound, there are hidden pieces of paradise, shipwrecks, and home to some of the most incredible homes I have ever seen! One of my very favorite beaches in all of Grand Cayman is Smith's Barcadere. Camana Bay is a great place to shop, and Spott's Beach, you can see countless turtles along the grass, popping their heads up out of the clear-blue sea! A hidden paradise where the locals like to go relax, that is very unknown to most travelers (and all tourists), is The Hole! It’s a massive opening in the limestone that fills up with ocean water, which makes a private oasis to relax! At the time I went, it was not filled with water, but I will absolutely be going back with hopes it will be full of water, and will have it all to myself again! In West Bay & East End, I enjoyed West Bay Beach, the Blowhole, & Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park. Around to North Side, Starfish Point, Sand Point, Rum Point, Cayman Crystal Caves, Bioluminescence Bay, and Stingray City & Sandbar are some of the most magical spots around the entire island! I would have never imagined loving Stingray City so much, but I had the best time snuggling with the massive southern stingrays! The North Side has so much charm, elegance, and beauty, it literally overwhelms your senses!
