Grand Cayman

Among the three Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman is overwhelmingly the largest, the most visited, and offers the most variety of activities. Where the two smaller islands mainly cater to diving connoisseurs and nature enthusiasts, Grand Cayman welcomes a diverse crowd of people. The local absence of taxes and many of the controls other nations place on their banking systems makes Grand Cayman one of the world's largest offshore financial centers, attracting an international set easily identified by their cell-phones and suits. But by far the larger group is the tourists: Club-goers, beach bums and diving devotees all call the island their paradise. You'll find it easy to enter whichever atmosphere pleases you, whether it's hectic tourist hotspots or remote island hideaways. Choose to spend all your time on the beach and in the nightlife, or use every day to explore one of over 250 diving sites in the island's crystal-clear water.

Of all the places that I have been or could buy a condo, Grand Cayman's is the place to go. If you can't relax there, you can't anywhere. It is so beautiful. You will never find clearer water anywhere. It is always around 85 degrees in the water and you can see at least 100 ft. down to the bottom, it is that clear. Diving is the best. I have dove in many parts of the world, and nothing can compete with this place.
I hope that you can go and just enjoy the sheer beauty of the place.More

It is expensive though. Be prepared.
