Commitment-Free Time-Sharing in Grand Cayman
Author:
Natalia de Cuba Romero Driving Grand Cayman's roads, it's easy to believe that the entire island is for sale. Virtually every home and stretch of undeveloped land bears a "for sale" sign. But with prices for East End beachfront property still hovering around thousands of dollars per square foot, Grand Cayman is hardly your average buyer's market.
Still, there are other ways to enjoy this exclusive island. You can own your own piece of Grand Cayman for about US $25,000 in low season and US $35,000 in high season through time-share rentals, or "interval ownership." One of the hottest properties on the market is the new Royal Reef Resort.
Royal Reef is part of the Royal Resorts Group, which, since 1975, has been running wildly successful interval ownerships in Cancún, including Royal Islander and Royal Sands. In the relative quiet of East End, the resort features 1,500 feet of beach, fine snorkeling, two lighted tennis courts, bicycles, a concierge, color TV and full maid service.
Even if you don't want to make a committment to owning a time-share, you can still enjoy a weeklong stay by renting one. During your vacation, you can enjoy all the member privileges, including unlimited use of sailboats and bicycles. Water sports, a small gym and spa/salon are also on the property, as well as a grocery store and restaurant.
Royal Reef's atmosphere is extremely family friendly and relaxed, while the East End area retains a small-town charm, which is quite different from the hoopla of Seven Mile Beach.
For more information, call Royal Resorts at 800-221-8090.
