LITTLE CAYMAN RESORTS REOPEN AFTER PALOMA
Grand Cayman continues to welcome guests to its
Caribbean paradise
New York, New York, November 20, 2008
-The tiny idyllic island of Little Cayman is ready to
receive visitors again post-Paloma. Beginning today,
with the reopening of Southern Cross Club and Little
Cayman Beach Resort and the resumption of regular
flight schedules with Cayman Airways Express, the
island is open for business.
Grand Cayman, the largest of the three Cayman
Islands, continues to welcome guests to its sun
drenched shores and pristine turquoise waters.
Having felt few effects from Hurricane Paloma,
as the system passed
30 miles to the east of Grand Cayman
on November 8,
the island is busily receiving guests at air and sea
ports.
Though Paloma packed strong winds and heavy rain,
Little Cayman escaped relatively unscathed and the
main issue for resorts and residents has been the
restoration of power.
Also expected to reopen in the coming days is Head
O'
Bay guest house, Pirates Point, and Paradise
Villas. Together with Southern Cross Club and Little
Cayman Beach Resort, these resorts represent the
majority of room stock on the island. The Conch Club
Condominiums and The Club will reopen in December.
On Grand Cayman, guests are beckoned by the
crystal clear seas, white sand beaches, balmy
temperatures and world-class dining, Scuba diving,
and accommodations.
Cayman Brac was directly impacted by the storm and
sustained significant damage. Tourism properties
there are undergoing assessment and recovery
efforts. As assessments are completed, updates will
be provided on the Cayman Islands Department of
Tourism's website:
www.caymanislands.ky.
Visitors with plans to travel to the Sister Islands
should contact their travel professional or the
Cayman Islands Department of Tourism at
