Product Description
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Handy Reference, August 29, 2005

By	Jane Doe "Devlina66" - See all my reviews

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great guide To the Caymans, July 6, 2004

By	Kenneth F. Schoeni "Golden Bear of the Rockies" (Longmont, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Guide to the Cayman's, May 28, 2007

By	Savetheanimals "AnimalSupportProject" (USA) - See all my reviews

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

This little guide book is a good item to have if you have never traveled to the Cayman Islands before. It is a bit outdated but still a good back up. Don't atke all the recommendations to heart. They tell you to skip "Hell" the end of the island but I think the short trip is worth it, but the airport stores accually have better T shirts than can be had on site.
Beware: The Caymans are VERY expensive to visit and with the US dollar only being worth .75 to each Cayman dollar, your money does not go far. Be prepared to spend over $1000 to eat for a week, for 2 people and you won't be eating very big!
