The night we spent at Walton's Mango Manor during a recent trip to the Caymans was one of the highlights of our trip. George and Lynne were gracious and fascinating hosts. Our room was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning and fan helped keep the room cool. A fine breadfast was prepared for the time we designated. Their large lot goes down to the sea. You won't believe what you will find in their back yard--I don't want to give this away.Their beach area is well-maintained and beautiful, within its walled confines. You need to appreciate the geography of the island to understand why they don't have the ideal sandy shore--it indeed is rocky. This makes for good scuba and snorkeling. A public sandy beach is available on the island. Sandy beaches are relatively rare on this island.We liked the island and representative residents like the Waltons so much we bought some raw land to build our retirement home on.We should note that we spent most of our time on Grand Cayman, on the water, in the West Bay area by Seven Mile beach. If you like taking the only road in that area in gridlock traffic for 45-60 minutes to travel the actual 5.5 mile length of that beach, then you'll enjoy Grand Cayman. If you prefer a more bucolic, ecologically focused environment, then head to the Brac.

Beware! This bed and breakfast is NOT located on a beach, as is implied in its advertising. The "private beach" is a small rectangle of sand cut out of solid rock that is a five minute walk away. If you are looking to stay on an actual beach, head to one of the resorts or condos on the south shore.

The bed and breakfast itself is rather dull. You will need a car to get around as there is nothing within walking distance.

This guest house on the quiet island of Cayman Brac is lovely. It has itsits own beach complete with palm trees and gazebo, which is reached by walking through a lush garden to the rear of the house.We had a very warm welcome from George and Lynne , who made us feel at home. They gave us lots of good advice as to enjoy the island.The room that we had was super. The Brac is not a place for those who wish to live it up, but go there and experience the genuine warm welcome from the Braccers. Enjoy the jerk pork and chicken on Friday nights ...

If you are headed to Cayman Brac for scuba diving, or just for relaxing, definately plan to stay at Walton's Mango Manor! You don't have to stay at a scuba resort to enjoy a dive vacation--we saved money and got to explore the island! Mango Manor is VERY clean, and set on an AMAZING piece of property! From the Manor, it is a 5 minute walk through the backyard to the sea. They have a sandy beach area set up, but the actual water's edge is rough ironshore--the best of both worlds! The snorkeling there is amazing, but the water can be a little rough some days. We were able to snorkel four out of the six days that we stayed. You should rent a car, it makes everything easier. The breakfasts are hot & delish--omlettes, french toast, fresh fruit--YUM! And definately head up to Blackie's for some ice cream--but Lynne (one of the owners) will brief you on the island when you arive. This is truly like a home away from home--you can't go wrong here! Feel free to email me if you want any unbiased info (but the owners will tell you MORE than you need to know if you email them)! You can't go wrong!
