Cayman Islands Review
Two hundred and forty kilometers south of Cuba and 290 west of Jamaica lay an archipelago, the colony of British West Indies, which comprises three islands under the name Cayman Islands: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
Grand Cayman, the largest of the three, hosts almost all the 23,000 inhabitants of the archipelago, as well as its capital, George Town. Fishermen’s Village until two decades ago, today the city is capital of the islands and tourist centre of one of the most exclusive tourism complexes in the world.
Apart from diving fans, which have in their island paradise, the customers are retirees with a good economic situation that come to the islands to play golf, fish or simply relax.All this in tranquility and monotony of the British tradition, preserved even better than in the same England.
To play cricket, take tea in the afternoon and visit attractions quiet pubs are more hectic social life in Cayman, where there are no street vendors and the permitted speed-driving left-can hardly give more than a scare small slowdown.
The Seven Mile Beach offers the best facilities hotel companies in the world: Westin, Hyatt, Sheraton. A square meter of land here costs what a luxury car, but buildings cannot have more than three floors, because the law requires that none protrude above the coconut trees.
It is curious that less than twenty-five thousand inhabitants, the island have surveyed 500 banks and 18,000 businesses. The explanation is given by the second feature of the Islands: being a tax haven where there are no taxes.According to legend, ten ships in 1788 returned to England from Jamaica were shipwrecked on these shores and all its crew members were saved by the islanders.
George III, thanks to their action, the country freed from the obligation to pay taxes to the crown.
Those are the two sources of income for the islands: tourism and finance. The result is an overly quiet place without unemployment or crime in which there is a limit of 300,000 tourists a year. People think that more people could alter their lifestyle.

Do you want to spend some time in a Cayman hotel; we have the right choice for you when you heard of what I’m going to tell you about. This Cayman hotel we are talking about is the Westin Casuarina hotel what a beautiful site. I have been to this Cayman hotel once entered, I was shock by the way the hotel was so classy and very attentive. This Cayman hotel is magnificently decked out, the part that got me is although it was close to spring break where lots of people would be hanging around, it wasn’t that full of guest. This Cayman hotel have an outside pool area which is absolutely stunning, and from been in other Cayman hotels, the Westin has one of the biggest and most beautiful beachfront I have ever seen on the island, and even most locals agree on this point. Their large beachfront was never populated and there is always some kind of a chair or lounge around so that you don’t have to wake too early to get one. This Cayman hotel is way much different from the other Cayman hotels where some people are basically clustered to each other on their beach. What make Westin even more special is that it’s right on the beach. The Westin have water sports to entertain it’s guest such as wave runners and kayaking, they are right there and you will have access to them through a Red Sail company, and there is also a beach bar in close vicinity, if you want beach waitress service you can get it though sometimes it hard to get the attention of the waitress, that’s the only down side. But at this Cayman hotel lunch will be brought to you. If you are looking for stuff like burgers, you will be in for some disappointment; their kind of food is like salads, wraps, and panini breads. The Westin hotel rooms adequate and beautiful. Some of the smallest room in the hotel is roomy and the space in the bathroom is very much on the larger side. The beds are “heavenly,” just as they’re tagged, and the rooms are very comfortable. The Westin hotel is one of the finest place around in
