Overall we prefer Grand Cayman over St Thomas. Love 7 mile beach and the variety of restaurants on Cayman. Good snorkeling and sting ray city. We like St Thomas for ease of access to St John and the British Virgin Islands and some fantastic jewelry shopping

I have not been to St Thomas but friends have. Our stay at the Grand Cayman Islands was wonderful, friendly people, beautiful beaches and great blue waters with lots of watersports. Dining was good. It is a low key island without a big nightlife but that is what we wanted traveling as a family. St Thomas is busier and not as friendly from what I have gathered between my friends visit and other posts I have read on it.

Grand Cayman is way more friendly IMO. It's also feels much safer than STT. Just going on what I've read about the crime that happens in STT, I would be much more careful there. GC feel very safe no matter where you drive to. There are areas of STT I'd stay away from, especially at night.
Snorkeling in GC is MUCH better. Hands down.
GC also has some of the best restaurants in the Caribbean.
Only downside to GC is it is very expensive.

If you have more than 2 people in your party, staying in a condo on Seven Mile Beach is a good alternative to a hotel.This will eliminate the need for 2 rooms.
Also, you will save a lot of money by eating breakfast or lunch in your condo.

We have stayed at the Sunshine Suites, across the street from Seven Mile. This is a beautiful Island, and a glorious Beach. Comparing St. Thomas to Cayman is like comparing a apples to Pineapples. On any given hour, I would return to The Cayman Island in a second. St. Thomas, not so much. Just that different.
