Snorkeling and diving in Grand Cayman
A holiday in the Cayman Islands brings to mind images of bright sunshine and soft sand beaches lined by palm trees swaying in the gentle trade winds. For those who seek action, the aquamarine ocean offers some of the world’s best diving and snorkeling sites. Located on the famous Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman are several world-class hotels and resorts as well as upscale restaurants and dive operators. Discerning travelers and those who seek a serene retreat far from the buzzing crowded resorts choose the Westin Casuarina Resort for its proximity to the beach, the golf course and George Town. The excitement of being close to one of the world’s best diving and snorkeling sites and the serenity of the Hibiscus Spa are added bonuses.
Most suites and rooms have patios or balconies with fantastic views of the ocean. Guests can enjoy their breakfast at Ferdinand’s Caribbean Café with a view of the ocean or have room-service deliver it to their balcony for a private meal with their spouse or family. The dive shop at the hotel can rent out diving or snorkeling equipment, arrange for lessons, and diving and snorkeling trips for individuals and groups. After a day at one of the world’s best diving and snorkeling sites, a relaxing massage at the Hibiscus Spa or a nap by the pool are ideal.
Dinner at the Casa Havana, ice creams and pastries at Le Café Soleil, and snacks and beverages at le Tortuga Deli showcase the culinary delights of the Caribbean. A popular Grand Cayman specialty is the moist Tortuga Rum Cake, which visitors can buy in George Town, as a souvenir after visiting the factory.
The resort’s easy accessibility to several underwater sites considered to be among the world’s best diving and snorkeling sites makes it an ideal destination for water sports enthusiasts.
