It is recommended that you consider renting a car while in Grand Cayman.  We can arrange car rentals through our partner, McCurley's Tours and Rentals.  Airport pick up and drop off at the resort, where your car is waiting; and airport return is very popular.  A 4 door automatic with AC is $275 per week low season and $300 per week high season.  Driving is on the left hand side of the road. Both the quality of the roads and the driving are excellent.


After exiting the airport on Owen Roberts Drive after about half a mile following the runway you will make a left at the T-junction. Follow this road as it curves around taking you parallel to the airport runway. As you approach the next junction be in the left most lane, then bare left and circle around the bottom of the runway. Bare left again and merge into traffic on Crewe Road. You will then be heading East and away from the hustle and bustle of George Town J. Staying to the left again at the new roundabout, you will then be on the road that will take you all the way to the resort. Relax and enjoy the scenery
You will head through Savannah, and then the coastal communities of Bodden Town and Breakers. It is recommended that you follow the road along the south coast and continue through East End and a few other small hamlets. The resort is located off the Queens Highway in Colliers Bay. The approximate distance to the resort will be 25 miles and your travel time will be a leisurely 45 minutes.
