    About this ebook

    What's the Caribbean vacation of your dreams? With more than 7,000 islands to choose from, it's not always an easy decision. The good news is that -- short of skiing or ice skating -- the islands of the Caribbean offer something for everyone. It's hard to beat the Bahamas for a family Caribbean vacation: the Atlantis on Paradise Island and Lucaya on Grand Bahama Island are two of the most complete resorts in the region. Aruba also is an excellent family destination, with its friendly population and many options for off-resort activities. Families looking to go off the beaten path should consider St. Kitts and Nevis, which has old forts, haunted plantations, and a vintage railroad to explore. Safety and a great transportation system make Caribbean an excellent choice for solo travelers, although young singles may find the nightlife somewhat lacking. Curacao and Grand Cayman are other

      Cayman Islands

      The charming Cayman Islands continue to be a coveted Caribbean getaway, providing for both adventurous and more immobile travelers. Gorgeous barrier reefs call to divers as the rum punch calls to the beach bums. Honeymooners hike through the 200-year-old Mastic Trail as parents take their children for interactive swims at Stingray City. Whichever way you choose to mellow out, the Cayman Islands can oblige.

      The Cayman Islands are an archipelago of three islands, lying 90 miles south of Cuba. The largest, Grand Cayman, is full of all-inclusive resorts, perfect for those who prefer pre-planned itineraries and don't mind cruise crowds. For freewheeling vacationers, the less-traveled Cayman Brac and Little Cayman offer some of the best diving in the Caribbean.

      How To Save Money in Cayman Islands

      To dive or not to dive

      Equipment rentals for diving and snorkeling are expensive, but half-to full-day sails with ferry companies can be more affordable alternatives.

      Summer in Cayman

      To get the best prices, we suggest you plan a trip for early spring or summer, when hotel rates are up to 50 percent cheaper.

      Beachcomb for souvenirs

      Seashells are popular mementos, but save yourself some dough by searching the beach on your own.

      Cayman Islands Culture & Customs

      Take note of the Cayman Islands' dress code; swimsuits are okay on the beach or cruise ship, but you should dress more formally off of the beach and in town.

      As for tipping, Fodor's reports that restaurants usually expect a 15-percent tip, though check the bill carefully because gratuity might already be added. Taxicab drivers anticipate anywhere from a 10- to 15-percent tip. Note that the service charge at hotels is usually included and ranges from 6 to 12 percent.

      Cayman Islands Dining

      Similar to most Caribbean destinations, your trip to the Cayman Islands is not complete without a
