This will minimise damage to your electricity and water supply from debris and uprooted plants. Never attempt to cut branches close to power lines yourself; call CUC on Tel: and their Customer Service Department will send a team to evaluate your property and trim any potential hazards. You should also ask your gardener or strata maintenance to remove coconuts as they become dangerous missiles in high winds and a threat to your home. Cayman is a small, flat island so sea levels can rise during storm surge.
In the event of a major hurricane category three or above , move to at least 10ft above sea level the storm surge during Ivan was measured at ft. If possible find higher ground to park your car and boat. Make plans to be without power for 5—7 days , though it could be even longer. After Hurricane Ivan, it took 3—8 weeks for electricity and landline telephones and about 1—2 weeks for water supplies to be restored to most parts of Cayman.
You should have an emergency supply of canned food and water that will last for at least a week. It is advised to store a gallon of water per day for each person in your house. To keep drinking water cool, store containers in dark locations. The off season in the Cayman Islands -- roughly from mid-April to mid-December, although this varies from hotel to hotel -- is one big summer sale, though summer travel to the Cayman Islands has become more popular in recent years.
Dollar for dollar, you'll spend less money renting a summer house or self-sufficient unit in the Cayman Islands than you would on Cape Cod, Fire Island, or Laguna Beach.
You just have to be able to tolerate strong sun. During the off season, beaches are less crowded and you can get good deals, but restaurants are often closed and hotels provide fewer facilities.
Some hotels also use the off season to renovate -- so be sure to ask if any work is going on and make sure your room is far away from the noise. If you're traveling alone during the off season, ask about the hotel's occupancy rate -- especially if you want crowds! Because there are such drastic differences between high-season and off-season rates at most hotels, we've included both for every lodging we review.
