Shop Till You Drop: Beachside

LindsayG — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 13:02:06 +0000

If you like shopping as much as I do, it’s going to be hard to break away from the mall on the biggest shopping day of the year – Black Friday. I know. I know. With all of the great sales, how can you be anywhere else?

Imagine this… You’re lounging beachside on one of the largest stretches of white sandy beach in the tranquil East End of the Cayman Islands, cocktail in one hand, and a laptop in the other. You’re taking advantage of the online sales and adding the perfect holiday gifts to your shopping cart, while soaking in the sun and the gorgeous Caribbean Sea.

Are you in dreamland yet? No need to be. The Reef is offering the perfect Black Friday package. Check-in Thanksgiving. Enjoy the sun, the sand, a trip to Stingray City, shop your heart out with The Reef’s beachside WIFI, and check-out on Monday. Not quite good enough? Add a day and shop Cyber Monday too. If you absolutely must get to a mall, Kirk Freeport Plaza, Galleria Plaza, and the new Camana Bay are just a few of the many shopping destinations on Grand Cayman. Now, that sounds better…

Spend the Thanksgiving holiday shopping in paradise. This is your chance!

Hello readers! My name is Lauren Moore, and I am very proud to have been chosen as the Reef Resort’s 2010 scholarship recipient!

I am currently in my final stretch of studies at the University of North Texas, as a Broadcast Journalism major, with a double minor in Theater Arts and Political Sciences- gosh that’s a mouthful! I’m excited to say that one of the benefits of being a Reef Resort scholarship recipient is that I’ll be blogging regularly for theReef!

When I’m back at home in Cayman I love spending time on the beaches or taking in local stage performances and of course enjoying the local food. (You can imagine how happy I was to find out theReef offered all three, with Barefoot man playing live in their beach-front restaurant!) When I was home at Christmas I was lucky enough to visit Dolphin Discovery and swim with dolphins- something that, even with living in the Caribbean, I never thought I’d get to do!

Keep an eye out for more posts, I’ll be sharing events and happenings from all across the island with you!

Cayman Carnival is almost here! Are you?

LaurMoore — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 15:45:40 +0000

If you’ve never experienced Cayman Carnival, then this is the year to be here for it! Starting April 24th, the streets of George Town will be filled with music, costume, dance and excitement! A highlight of the year for visitors and residents alike, Cayman Carnival Batabano is a Caribbean road party to rival all others!

For those who don’t already know, Batabano is a truly unique street parade, filled with music, art, food and fun. Participants have the chance to dress up in stunning carnival regalia as the island comes alive with celebration. I have to say, Cayman’s street parades are something I miss the most when I’m away at university. It’s almost impossible to capture the atmosphere in words- you really have to experience it for yourself!

There is something for everyone. A junior parade starts on April 24th, which is a kid-friendly fete that the whole family can enjoy! Then, if you’re looking for some more grown-up fun, stick around for the main street dance on May 1st. If the costumes alone don’t get you, the rhythm and flavor of the event will! And with every room at theReef being beach-front, you can celebrate in the streets one day and relax by the ocean the next!

Come and “jump” in the streets with locals and people from all over the world- it’s a Caribbean tradition you don’t want to miss!
