Insider Tips on Booking Your Grand Cayman Stay
To get the most from your trip to Grand Cayman, a few smart booking strategies can go a long way. High season typically runs from mid-December to April, when the island enjoys dry, sunny weather that is perfect for beach days and diving. But this is also the busiest (and priciest) time to visit. If you’re looking for better rates and fewer crowds, consider travelling in the shoulder months of May or November.
Booking directly with the hotel can often unlock exclusive perks, such as complimentary breakfasts, room upgrades or resort credits. It’s also worth signing up for hotel newsletters or loyalty programmes, as these sometimes feature member-only offers.
And don’t wait too long to make your reservation! Grand Cayman is a sought-after destination, so booking early is always a good idea.
