Budget $$$$
The Cayman Islands are pricey. Being a small island and a popular tourist destination, you can expect to pay top dollar for hotel accommodations during peak season. The good news is that hotels slash their prices by up to 50% during off season. Hotel food is pricey, but there are plenty of delicious restaurants around to fit any budget. Excursions are fair priced. It is wise to stay on 7 mile beach if you plan on spending a lot of time on the sand.
