Frommer's Portable Cayman Islands [Paperback]

Darwin Porter (Author), Danforth Prince (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 12, 2003 | Series: Frommer's Portable (Book 81)

Frommer's Portable Guides are for the short-term traveler who insists on value and doesn't want to pack a full-size guidebook. The Portables have the same commitment to accuracy and detail as the Frommer's Complete Guides, with the same broad demographic appeal, from budget to deluxe. Frommer's Portable Cayman Islands includes complete information for all three of the Cayman Islands-- Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman-- in one easy-to-carry guide. We currently publish a complete guide to Frommer's Caribbean that includes coverage of the Caymans. This new portable guide will be geared toward travelers visiting only islands in the Caymans and will feature more detailed information on the islands than is found in Frommer's Caribbean.

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!!
