Travel Rewards

Once the sun came out we really enjoyed our stay. The Morritt's Tortuga Club and Resort is very nice. Grand Cayman is a scuba divers paradise.  We do not scuba dive; but we do snorkel; and once the water settled down after the storm, it was great.  For someone living on the east coast it would be a great resort on own and frequent.  Given that we are on the west coast, we will probably bank out weeks and exchange for an alternative location.  Anyone out there that has a comparable resort in Mexico interested in trading resorts; let me know. Fish are abundant. Seven Mile Beach on the west end of the island.   We had booked a snorkeling tour to Sting Ray City for the day before we were leaving. The tour was canceled because of rough seas. It was a great vacation in spit of the weather in the early part of the week.

We got up the next morning and noticed that it was a little windy and the sky was overcast. It did not look like the kind of day that you go to the pool and soak up the rays. So we decided to take a drive. Did I mention the you drive on the wrong side of the road in the Cayman Islands.  You get used to it pretty quickly. But you have to stay focused, go into auto pilot mode and you are in trouble.  We took the road along the north end of the island over to Rum Point. It is a nice drive. Not a lot of traffic. You pass a lot of family cemeteries right on the waters edge. Stopped to get a bit to eat and found them closing up the restaurant and bar. Seems there was a weather advisory.  Found another restaurant still open and decided to have some fish and chips before heading back to the resort to check on the weather. Continued tomorrow.

Morritt’s Tortuga Club and Resort The view from the balcony is of palm trees on a tiny island in the middle of an enormous free form swimming pool. Morritt’s Tortuga Club and Resort is the original Morritt’s playground with not one, but two pools, six buildings and a variety of appealing floor plans. The big pool is the place to be for a relaxing lunch, an invigorating swim, and some of the hottest nighttime Caribbean entertainment on the island.  Just a quick overview on the Resort.
