Ok

[@StrongholdDefender]

My last visit to Gran Cayman was in 2011 and was really good. The locals are really friendly and welcoming.

[@theevanpyle]

That’s awesome to hear hope you come back soon

[@StrongholdDefender]

@@theevanpyle well I don’t know if will be possible since Covid has Changed everything and I’m one of those people who’s not vaccinated. I don’t know if Grand Caymans allows unvaccinated tourists.

[@katyarnold6757]

The Grand Cayman islands shopping centers are beautiful!! and so colorful! can't wait to take a cruise to the grand Cayman islands.

Hi Katy! Thanks 🙏🏻 I hope you come back soon and enjoy what the island has to offer

Hola, que playa recomiendas para disfrutar con niños, bajaremos de un crucero, cuál es la mejor para pasar el día?

[@shaniaday2739]

Hi Evan, when the bus driver drops you off at the Public Beach, how do you at that point locate 'Coral Beach' (for example) on 7 mile Beach? Or any other specific beach on 7 mile? Do you have to walk the beach to locate them?

[@angelescastillo8010]

Great video babe!! Missing you very much❤️

[@theevanpyle]

Thanks amor! I miss you so very much too! ❤️❤️❤️

[@susanbrechbiel7033]

We are headed there very soon n want to hit the beach, margaritaville n shopping, n he wants to jet ski, any recommendations on the best spot, taxi service to use etc.

[@susanblackwell7364]

Hi Evan, what is best part of the beach to go to off the cruise ship?

[@theevanpyle]

Hi Susan, when you get off the cruise ship I would go to Public Beach by the Kimpton Seafire they have beach chair vendors drinks and lunch options!

[@JF-bg5th]

What’s the best way to get to the turtle park and then to 7 mile beach? Taxi or bus?

[@theevanpyle]

Bus is a cheaper option then a taxi

[@kanoradio]

Hi! Would you know how much are the chair and umbrella rentals range? Great channel btw!

[@theevanpyle]

I am not sure to be honest, I am thinking for two chairs and umbrella, like 20 usd?

[@RA-fm8wr]

Will be there in Feb. What/ who offers the best deal there to get out to Sting Ray City?

[@theevanpyle]

Well there are many watersports companies that go to stingray city, the one I have used is call Captain Marvins!

[@milifernandes6089]

Good tks. Where can I look for b and b accommodation

[@theevanpyle]

Our pleasure I’m glad you found it helpful! Well Cayman does really have B and Bs, there are many hotels around the island

[@melissaallen6830]

Can you recommend a local guide to give us a tour after arriving by cruise ship.

[@tonymarro7699]

Great video and informative.. by chance would you know how much to rent an umbrella and beach chairs?

[@theevanpyle]

Hi Tony, unfortunately I do not, but i would think 20 usd or higher perhaps.

[@spidermaninky]

Thanks for the video, this was really helpful for planning my upcoming cruise to Grand Cayman in March. My wife and I were there over 20 years ago and rented a Jeep to explore on our own, and I vaguely remember renting it near the cruise port. Based on some searches, it seems like all the rental cars are now out at the airport. Is that accurate, or are there car rental opportunities closer to north terminal? Thanks again, loved the video and advice!

[@theevanpyle]

Hi there, there are a few rental car places outside of the airport. Hertz is a big one and a few smaller ones.

[@kielysarah727]

we're also going on a cruise there in march! carnival horizon~!

[@valerieleeth6622]

We will be there next month on a cruise. Where do you recommend we eat before heading to the beach?

[@theevanpyle]

Hi Valerie! It’s a pleasure! Yes there’s many restaurants that are close by the port area, one place which is nice right on the water is called Da Fish Shack! My mate works there named Mark! He will take good care of you just mention that Evan sent you. Any other questions let me know! Cheers 🍻

[@susanbrechbiel7033]

What about margaritaville to eat n drink? Also is it just better to walk to get around to shop after visiting the beach?

[@theevanpyle]

I would go to the Westin its a great place to have some lunch and rent the jet skii's but you wont be able to use their beach chairs. There is good shopping around the georgetown port area for souvenirs.

[@amyc6355]

Great video thanks. Are there toilets on public beach?

[@theevanpyle]

My pleasure I am glad you found it enjoyable and informative! Yes there are public toilets and showers at public beach which is nice 👍🏻

Hi there, for beach side massages honestly I’m not sure, I think the Westin might do something like that

[@AVITUB]

Hi. I will be there very soon. will be good idea to hire a person / Taxi to spend the day around the city. Thank

Enjoy your videos! Coming to Grand Cayman in a few weeks via cruise ship. Could you recommend a bar and grill type place on the beach for us to hang out at? I’ve heard Royal Palms is closed and that seemed too busy for us anyway! Thanks!!

Thank you very much! Certainly, its beach area by the Kimpton hotel, where they have beach chair rentals for all people to use.

Hi there we will be there in June with an 11 month old with royal Caribbean. Is there a beach you recommend for us to visit? What do you recommend best for transport?

[@theevanpyle]

Hi there Stephanie! I hope your well! I would go to coral beach which has some beach and chairs and a restaurant! I would get a taxi 🚕 it’s the best transportation

[@jeandalton7108]

It really looks like everything closed due to the pandemic. Margaritaville, Calico Jacks, and others that allowed cruise passengers to use their facilities. Are there any now that offer day passes? Are there any restaurants or areas on the beach that you recommend? I always loved the beach there.

[@theevanpyle]

Some places are open and more to come hopefully! There is coral beach club which is open and has chair rentals etc. calico jacks is reopening but not for another year probably.

I want to ask you about the banks there in Grand Cayman. Is it possible to find an office of HSBC Bank, or doesn't exist these banks as Bank of America, UBS, Crédit Suïsse or other big banks?

Hello there, I do not believe that have offices for those banks here, but I could be wrong.

Hello! You mention a couple places your buddies own; is it Da Fish Shack and Rackam's Waterfront? Based on the maps they look walking distance from the cruise port, are they? Would love to support someplace local when we come in December. Thanks for your videos, they're super helpful!!!
