This review is from: Frommer's Portable Cayman Islands (Paperback)

This book was a great reference of where to go and where not to go. We were able to plan our whole trip using the book and had a great time. Unfortunately some of the places mentioned for dinner are still closed due to the last hurricane that really did some damage there. If you are traveling make sure you check the websites or with your hotel when you get there before you take a drive out!

This guide was very useful in planning my trip. The reviews of resturants and other locations were very helpful and up to date. Hell IS over-rated!! It's almost pocket size, so it's handy to have with you to look up general information while you are on your trip. Have a great trip!!
