Ok, back to planning a dream trip.
So you’ve got your flight & hotel booked, what next?
Well, the Caymans is super expensive.
Here are some of the other costs you’ll incur:
- Resort fee at the Kimpton of ~$100/day (this includes a number of fun activities the resort offers)
- Food - this is expensive pretty much everywhere you go
- Transportation - we use the public taxis and they’re relatively affordable (first time we went we did activities around the island but second time we just hung out at the resort because it’s so amazing)
- Activities - they have many excursions & other activities on the island
Here are some of the ways you can cover these costs as well:
- Redeem some of your Chase points for cash (easiest) and if you don’t have enough, grab another Chase card in the process and get the welcome bonus
- Use travel credits you may have on some of your credit cards (we used three $300 travel credits on 3 different Chase cards we have)
- Put some of these charges on your Capital One card and use your points to cover the charges (we did this as well)
You might be willing to just eat some of these additional costs since the big costs are covered, but if not, there are certainly ways for you to make the trip entirely free.
We’ve made so many great memories at the Kimpton Seafire in the Caymans and would love to see you & your family make memories there too.
If you happen to go, definitely let me know & send pics!
I hope this two part step-by-step guide gives you some direction on how to book this dream trip for you and your family as well.
