Grand Cayman after the Hurricane -- current status?

[jo8243]

We're thinking about going to Grang Cayman in February and I was wondering what all was damaged during the hurricane that went through there several months ago. From what I've read all the damage was on land (no reef damage). Is this correct? Was the infrastructure (roads/telephone/power/hotels/restaurants) damaged enough there that we should go to Cozumel or somewhere else in February instead? What is the extent of the damage?

Thanks!

All,

Grand Cayman is well on the way to recovery and a vacation booked in June will be fine.

Contrary to what you may be reading or have heard the island is doing pretty well.
Georgetown is fully functional and has been since Nov 1 when the cruise ships started re-visiting us.

Stay over tourists were arriving back from Nov 20th and here at Ocean Frontiers we were ready for them. Our Compass Point condos are up and running and so are our dive boats and we've been running trips nearly everyday since the 20th and have had guests staying with us.

Many restaurants and bars are open and many planning to re-open by Dec 15th.

The effort put in by many islanders has been truly outstanding
Yes....there will be signs of Ivan for a few years, but it will only impact your vacation to a small degree if at all.

Hope to see you down here.

There are several threads on the status of Grand Cayman, the quote above is from one of them.
