Passports etc.
United States, British and Canadian citizens, and
citizens of British Dependent Territories do not
require passports to enter the Cayman Islands, but must present proof of
citizenship (passport or original or a
notarized copy of a birth certificate and current
photo ID. A driver's license or voter's
registration card alone is not sufficient) and a
return or ongoing airline ticket. (Please note
that according to a new US law passed in 1996, a
Voter's Registration Card is no longer considered
valid proof of US citizenship and is therefore not
valid ID for re-entry into the US.)

of our Cayman Islands guests,

How to get there
We recommend renting a car for at least 3 days
with
Cico Avis rent-a-car
they offer the best deal for Timeshare visitors. Most guests rent a vehicle for the
whole week but you can rent a vehicle mid week
by pre-booking on-line or by calling Avis at
(345)-949-2468. All you have to do is walk
over to the Marriott Hotel next door and pick
the car up! The rental car
can then be returned at the airport the day you
will be flying back home.
If you rented a
car, pick up groceries before you get to the
resort.
Don't forget,
groceries stores are closed on Sunday, but you
can buy all necessities at gas stations across
