Look 4 (pt 3) VayCayman 2025 - Trip Recap đ´ The first time I set foot on Grand Cayman was in the mid-90s on a family vacation - my very first big trip out of the country, and the first time we ever did a classic âfamily getaway.â We stayed at the Holiday Inn, one of only a few properties along Seven Mile Beach at the time. That hotel is long gone, but interestingly, the Ritz now sits on the very same stretch of sand. Itâs a good stretch of beach - one thatâs escaped the severe erosion affecting other areas over the past 20 years. On the first day of that very first trip, I waded into the water with my parents⌠and a massive sea turtle swam by almost instantly. To little me, it was huge - about the same as my wingspan at the time - and it was gliding right there in just three feet of water. It remains the coolest introduction Iâve ever had to any place. If youâre here, I highly recommend getting in the water around the Ritz - you can still see amazing things without swimming far. And while youâre on land, the Ritz is also worth exploring. After tea, we had the best time wandering through the property and even popped into a Dolce & Gabbana pop-up full of incredible pieces. đ˘â¨ GrandCayman SevenMileBeach CaymanIslands RitzCarltonGrandCayman TravelCapsule VacationStyle OOTDinspo ResortStyle IslandStyle DolceAndGabbana CaribbeanTravel LTKShoeCrush LTKTravel LTKBump
