Tall Casuarina trees line the Seven-Mile beachfront of this Cayman resort, set amid landscaped grounds and pools, and across the stree from the Links at Safehaven, a championship golf course.
What I wish I
could change:
The most expensive thing on this island is food so plan wisely, and stock up on snack and stuff at one of the local groceries and splurge on dinners.
Why YOU should
go:
