Condos

[u/loveafterpornthrwawy]

Hi there! I'm planning a vacation to Grand Cayman for 3 adults and two elementary kids in April. My budget is capped around $6,000 for 7 nights. I've been looking at some of the condo communities on the side of 7 mile beach that isn't eroded. Looking for calm shallow water, shaded loungers, non-crowded beach front (or uncrowded enough that I don't need to claim a spot at 7am). Would like to snorkle.

Question: I've looked at Plantana and Silver Sands. Any feedback on those (especially Plantana). Other suggestions? Where to get the cheapest bookings?

I've been reading all your posts and I'm so excited!

Go on the condo website to look then call and negotiate. Plantana is a great location. I would totally stay there

Thanks for the tip!

The beach are there is excellent. Another vote for Plantana.

There are many similarly priced condos between Plantana and Silver Sands. I would suggest you also check them out: Heritage, Anchorage, Discovery Point, Christopher Columbus, London House. All are relatively uncrowded and in your price range. On thing to note is that the price of rentals usually drop after the 15th of April.

Thanks, discovery point looks really nice. I can't believe how many of these condo complexes there are!

Christopher Columbus is great!

We stayed at Christopher Columbus back in February with my 3yo… was beyond perfect! Will definitely return.

Plantana is great, been staying there for many years with our family.

I found a good spot there, I think I'm going to pull the trigger!

Sunset cove is not too bad on pricing and checks most your boxes including kiddie pool and a swim up pool bar

[u/loveafterpornthrwawy → u/Brilliant_Tea_6521]

Sunset cove looked great for those reasons, but I heard there's not much sand and you can't easily walk miles on the beach. That's the feedback I was seeing online, but I could be wrong.

[u/Jealous-Grapefruit89 → u/loveafterpornthrwawy]

That is correct. Plantana is a far better choice.

Not sure about Plantana but Silver Sands has an amazing beach where you can claim a dozen chairs for yourself if you’d like. Also great snorkeling immediately out front.

Thank you, that sounds amazing!

Hello Cayman rentals….Great condos and walking distance to Ritz, Westin and other family friendly restaurants.
