Kaibo Sunsets
 |
Finding your way from Owen
Roberts International Airport in
George Town, to Kaibo Sunsets,
near Rum Point (North Side), is
easy! But, you'll have to first
follow these directions to
Turtle Nest Inn & Condos, in
Bodden Twon, to check in and
pick up the key. Grand Cayman is
a small island, there's
basically one main road from one
end of the island to the other,
and the Inn is situated right on
the main road going east, about
ten miles from the airport (and
George Town). There's only one
exit road from the airport and
rental car plaza, which ends at
a stop sign, just beside the
main Post Office processing
facility. At the stop sign, turn
left, and continue past Foster's
Food Fair (on your right) until
the first round-about. This
Foster's is one of three major
supermarkets located directly
along your route in from the
airport, and all three are
indicated on our maps by green
dots. At the round-about, make
sure that there are no cars
coming from the right (they have
the right-of-way), and continue
to your left, so no need to
actually "enter" the
round-about.
The road will continue
curving to the left around the
end of the airport runway and at
the junction a little further,
you'll keep to your left (so no
stop). The airport runway is
still on your left for a few
hundred feet, and you're now on
the main road heading east
towards Bodden Town, East End,
Northside, and Rum Point. Along
the way, the road leads through
several villages including
Spotts, Prospect, Savannah,
Lower Valley, and Pedro. The
latter three are located in the
district of Bodden
Town, so don't confuse any signs
indicating the name of the
district with the town itself,
which is about ten miles further
along the main road. Keep in
mind as well that all speed
limit signs are in
miles-per-hour, even if your
rental car might have a
speedometer in
kilometers-per-hour. |

You'll soon arrive at the first
of three more round-abouts and,
again, you'll keep left and not
actually "enter" the
round-about. The three round-abouts
are indicated on the map below
by a black circle and a dot in
the centre. The next of these
three round-abouts is barely a
quarter-mile further, and you'll
take the second exit. As
you'll see, the first exit leads
into the Grand Harbour Shopping
Centre, and to the Hurley's
supermarket. After the
round-about -- whether
continuing along your route or
exiting from the shopping centre
parking lot -- you'll keep to
your left, taking the extreme
left lane, and passing
directly by an Esso (on your
left), thereby avoiding an
additional and unnecessary
round-about.
At the next (and last)
round-about, you'll again take
the second exit, and
continue on to Bodden Town. At
all the round-abouts you'll
encounter, you'll in fact be
continuing "straight" along the
main road, if you can imagine
you would have before the
round-abouts were built (i.e.,
no turns at all). A few miles
further, you'll pass the
Countryside Shopping Village (on
your left) and a large Rubis
station (on your right), and
continue towards Bodden Town.
Shortly after a sign
lowering the posted speed limit
to 25mph, you'll enter the
village of Bodden Town, and the
road curves sharply to the left.
Just after the curve, there's an
Esso station on your right
(seaside), followed a little
further by a Rubis station, and
then, around 200 feet further,
Turtle Nest Inn & Condos. If you
see a Post Office on your left,
or a church on your right,
you've gone too far! The Inn &
Condos comprise three seperate
structures. The first, a
two-storey, white, Spanish-style
building with two illuminated
signs at the road, houses the
Inn office and all our
apartments, and is where you'll
want to pull in and park. If
you've driven a few feet further
until the Turtle Nest Condos
sign, no problem -- just pull in
here and park your car before
walking over to the main
building to check in. |

After checking in, you'll exit
the Inn parking lot to your
right -- keeping a sharp eye for
oncoming traffic from your
right -- and continue along
the main road east until Frank
Sound Road, about 4 miles away.
This is the road to the Botanic
Park, Rum Point, Cayman Kai,
etc., and you'll turn left (you
can't turn right).
At the end of Frank Sound
Road (about 5 miles), you'll
pass a gas station on your left
just before a junction on your
right to East End. You simply
continue on, as the road
"naturally" flows to the left
(towards Rum Point), and
continue along for several miles
through Cayman Kai. Just before
the public beach at Rum Point,
you'll turn left onto Water Cay
Road, then turn right at the sign for Kaibo
Yacht Club, Restaurant & Marina,
and then make a left into Phase I of the
condo complex at Kaibo Yacht
Club (blue buildings). Kaibo Sunsets is one of
these condos. |

We suggest that you print a copy
of these maps to take with you
on your trip. And, just in case,
you can reach us (locally) for
help at 947.8665 between 9:00am
and 5:30pm, seven days a week.
The drive in from the airport
may be a good time to shop for
groceries -- especially if
you're early enough to check in
at the Inn before the office
closes at 5:30pm -- and we'd
probably suggest one of the two
supermarkets located further
along your route, either
Hurley's, in the Grand Harbour
Shopping Centre (a couple of
miles after the airport) or the
Foster's in Countryside Shopping
Village, in Savannah, only about
5 minutes before you arrive at
the Inn.
All three supermarkets are
open six days a week (closed on
Sunday), between 7:00am and
10:00pm You'll find a liquor
store (for beer, wine and
spirits) located just a few
steps from each of the three
supermarkets, and they're also
open six days a week, but from
10:00am to 7:00pm. If arriving
on a Sunday, there are
convenience stores open until
10:00pm and located along your
route (usually in/next to a
Rubis or Esso service station),
including one in Bodden Town
itself at the small Rubis
station just two properties from
the Inn -- better to walk to
after you park at the Inn
and check in. |
