Best Island for June anniversary

I should add that we are thinking of spending around $200 for room per night. Looking for something not too mega resort if possible.

For 4 nights I'd look at where I can get to via a short nonstop flight. Can't help any further as I don't know where you live...

I agree with Sassy. For 4 days only, a lot of time on a plane isn't very alluring...

We live in NC. Close to Charlotte. They have direct flights to T&C's and I believe caymans.

Turks and Caicos then...beautiful 12 mile beach to walk, great restaurants but, $200..per night anyone?

I put the $200 per night knowing that after taxes and fees, transfers, etc that it will be closer to $250 per night. Airfare will be about 1k to GCM. a 2.5 hour flight nonstop. T&C is another story. CLT is like the hotel California, they pinch you on the way out. Expensive airport.
Also, I have read other people who wait until early summer to get deals that havent filled up yet. Would that be dangerous with these islands? Concerned that we won't get what we want but get what we get.

The Sibonne on Grace Bay in T & C will come under $200 per night. We enjoyed our stay there. Cute boutique hotel with 26 rooms. Continental breakfast included, but you can add on a meat and egg for around $2 per item. Great location directly on Grace Bay Beach.

The Alexandra, which is just a couple of hotels down might come in at that price also.

Thanks so much for all the info. We have decided to stay on Grand Cayman @ the Reef or the Westin. Flights are quick and direct.
Anyone stayed there before? Reef is pretty remote but for 4 nights I think it will offer enough.

hi mad, these 2 resorts a complete opposites. westin is big, busy, in the middle of seven mile beach and all the hubbub. the reef is away from seven mile by about 45 mins/a world apart on a "private beach".
seven mile has the shopping and restaurants.
reef has near neither but has good snorkleing right off their beach and offers a couple fun boat tours. i think it has the slower pace you're looking for, while still offering plenty to keep you occupied if a book on the beach gets boring.
you can do some flat hiking on the mastic trail which is a natural preserve in the middle of the island. or go the the gorgeous botanical garden with indigenous plants, as well as specimens from all over the world.
you must rent a car for 1 day and take a drive. go around the east end of the island then back through the middle on north sound road (where mastic & botanicals are), to old man bay then left to rum point. then back to old man bay and through to the reef.
if you choose reef i can tell you a bit about the dining options (besides reef) in the area and a romantic place to watch the sunset and go to dinner about 20-25 mins from reef.

Thanks Virginia.
We called and spoke with the concierge. She suggested the all inclusive plan. It adds about $1200 on to the price. Have you found that the plan is worth it? I would love to hear where we can watch the sunset and have dinner.
We are definitely going to go hiking the mastic trail.
We like the seclusion of the east side. Relax and rechange.

unless you want to get a car for all days you'll want the food plan. it's a 5 min drive to closest place and that's just a tiny (in someones home) lunch spot, real restaurants for dinner will be 15 to 25 min drive. easy driving, you can't get lost but still car needed.
for private sunset viewing you'll drive west on Queen's hwy thru old man bay to rum point. bear left at the Y in road onto water cay road at rum point. go until you see sign for kaibo yacht club. turn right still on water cay. go to end, thru arch. take 1st sandy left then out to the end of the point. this is known as starfish point or ivory sands. you can park, we ususally took a cocktail with us - ssshhh - wade in the shallow water and watch the sunset. the strip of land you can see across the bay is the back side of seven mile beach. then have dinner at kaibo yacht club upstairs or in the real restaurant (not beach food) at rum point. or call for sunset reservation at rum pt as you have almost the same view from their dining room. both offer outdoor dining, rum pt screened, we preferred rum pt food & atmosphere.

for lunch or a beer & app you might stop at on the edge between old man bay and rum point. < aren't the names colorful - just down the road from the reef is gun bay.
also portofino, lighthouse for italian or seafood, or you can be wild and try roland's garden. roland cooks one thing, you bring your own wine or beer if desired, reservation required. reef will help you if needed: http://www.chefroland.com/1.html

this map will help you orient. the reef is near long coconut point. http://www.frommers.com/images/destinations/maps/jpg-2006/2367_drivingtourgeorgetowntorumpoint.jpg

Thanks Virginia, sounds wonderful.
We are thinking of spending a day "in town" and would do dinner @ the Kaibo.
That said, we were encouraged to do the all inclusive but I was told that it only provides meals 3 times daily. What if we want something more? Is the all inclusive the deal to do? It adds $1100 to the price and I still want to eat off the property 1 night.
I was looking at grocery stores and it seems there is about a 25% markup from local prices. A bottle of premium vodka is $28 and we could have drinks in the room before going to the beach bar to have.....more drinks.
The AI offers only 1 hour of watersports per day/person.
