CHEAP CARIBBEAN HOLIDAYS

There is a new town, situated on 500 acres stretching from the Caribbean sea to the North Sound, being built on Grand Cayman. It is called Camana Bay after the original name for the Cayman Islands, Las Camanas. It has a cinema, shopping centre, restaurant, condos, a salon/spa, common areas, and business offices. It’s ever-growing and additional stores and restaurants will open in the near future. Most recently, they’ve opened the water-front docks and the observation tower where you can see panoramic views of the Island.

The Observation Tower is free of charge, and is open from sunrise to 10pm daily and provides 360 degree views of Grand Cayman beyond Camana Bay and including Seven Mile Beach, George Town and the marine parks of the North Sound.

The staircases are decorated with a floor to ceiling mosaic depicting Cayman’s reefs and marine life. This gives the effect of ascending a deep sea dive from the sea bed to surface. The mosaic is constructed of countless tiles in 114 different colours and has grown to one of the largest undersea mosaics in the world. The is also a lift to the top of The Tower.
