Getting to Know Grand Cayman | Notes from the FAM

Table of Contents

“I knew nothing about Grand Cayman… I was amazed at how close this spectacular place is from the East Coast. I loved the calmness I felt when I arrived. The airport was not hectic and the transfers were impeccable. There is a sense of the good life here.” —Connie Tracy

For the UJV team—Stefany, Connie, Dasha, and Brandon—the Grand Cayman trip offered more than beaches.  It was a lesson in the island’s rhythm, the way days stretch slowly over soft sand and glassy blue waters.

Every corner feels safe. Everything just works; every experience is just easy.

Mornings begin with coffee and pastries, pale sunlight spilling over Seven Mile Beach. Afternoons can mean snorkeling among stingrays, or just sitting on the shore, watching the water shift through every shade of blue. Evenings settle into cocktails, conversation, and sunsets that feel made for you.

Couples, families, and luxury travelers can move at their own pace, supported by thoughtful infrastructure, welcoming locals, and world-class resorts.

As Dasha put it: “Beyond the beaches, the level of safety, cleanliness, and ease of getting around really stood out—ideal for travelers who want relaxation without hassle.”

Experiencing the Cayman Spirit

What stayed with the team went beyond the views. It was the way the island felt—intuitive, like it knew exactly how to welcome you.

  • Stingray City & Starfish Point
    It started on the water. Stingray City & Starfish Point revealed the island’s effortless flow in a way nothing else could. “The boat excursion to Stingray City and Starfish Point…was truly interactive with all of us on the boat.” —Connie Tracy
    Calm, soft wind, and a crew that made everyone feel part of the experience. Advisors could instantly picture clients lighting up here.
  • Seven Mile Beach
    Then came the scene that defined Cayman’s beauty. “Seeing Seven Mile Beach was a WOW—the sand, the ocean color, the cleanliness really made an impression on me.” —Connie Tracy
    No filters, no exaggeration. Just miles of powdery sand and limpid waters that capture exactly what travelers hope the Caribbean will be.
  • Flavors & Hospitality
    The food and service left a lasting impression. Grand Cayman is considered the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, and it’s easy to see why. “The food really was spectacular,” Stefany noted.

    Fresh, vibrant flavors define every meal. From local seafood caught that morning to international dishes infused with island flair. Each restaurant felt thoughtfully curated and attentive to every guest’s needs.

    “The people from staff, restaurant workers, and guests were all warm and friendly. I loved the food at all the outlets—something for everyone—they were always attentive to the dietary restrictions that people had,” —Connie shared.

    This is a destination where the food tells the story of the island. Advisors can recommend Cayman not just for its beaches, but for the meals, flavors, and genuine hospitality that make the island feel alive.

Staying in Style

Each property the team visited has its own vibe and personality—helping advisors match clients to the experience that fits them best.

  • Hotel Indigo | Boutique Vibes
    Chic, modern, and fresh, Indigo feels more like a boutique hideaway than a traditional four-star. Art-filled spaces and thoughtful design details give clients a sense of style without pretense. Ideal for travelers seeking contemporary comfort with a personal touch.
  • Westin Grand Cayman | Family-Forward Comfort
    Surprising in its appeal, Westin sits on the prime stretch of Seven Mile Beach and balances accessibility with relaxed luxury. Wide open public spaces, family-friendly layouts, and a central location make it a fit for multigenerational groups, friends traveling together, or anyone wanting effortless beachfront convenience.
  • The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman | Ultra-Luxury Escape
    “Gorgeous hotel and residences, you can tell this is a much upscale vibe here”, Connie emphasized. The Ritz delivers the elevated Caribbean experience clients often dream about. Impeccable service, elegant rooms, and refined dining set the tone. Perfect for high-end travelers, honeymooners, or clients seeking an indulgent stay.
  • Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa | Trendy & Playful
    “People just had the best time with their kids, families, and friends. The Cabana service was on point, the beach and pool were stunning.” Connie recalled. Modern, vibrant, and effortlessly stylish, Seafire radiates energy without feeling chaotic. Its relaxed atmosphere, cabana-lined pool, and family-friendly touches make it ideal for couples, groups of friends, and families looking for a more lively, contemporary resort experience.

With so many options, advisors can feel confident guiding clients to a property that matches not just their budget, but the mood, occasion, and pace of their Cayman getaway.
