From the minute I inquired about DP, Shelly, the owner, was extremely helpful, so it was an easy decision to stay here. Before our trip,she sent us pages of helpful information which included directions, restaurants, activities, etc. The condo...Being on the ground floor was fantastic. We had easy access to the beach and pool, which is necessary with a 3 year old and 8 year old. The condo itself is lovely. It has been updated and is very comfortable and spacious. Diane, the housekeeper, came in everyday (except Sunday). She was friendly and helpful. Outside of the condo we had easy access to the palapas hut, as shade was necessary midday. The pool deck had some nice large tables with umbrellas. There was plenty of pool floats and sand toys on the property so there is no need to bring any. The entrance into the sea was a mixture of sand and rocks. It was a perfect balance for wading/swimming/snorkeling. The pool area and beach were well maintained. Jorain, sp?, a grounds keeper, gave us a tutorial about coconuts and opened a few up for us to taste. He also made the boys coconut candy, which was delicious. We always ate breakfast and lunch in the condo. We shopped at Kirk's in 7 Mile Beach. It was very expensive but it had all of the food/brands we like. Restaurants we ate at were Pappagallo, which was better the first time we went to Cayman 5 years ago, Ortanique, in Camana Bay, which was excellent, The Cracked Conch, a romantic restaurant on the water, (my mom watched the boys), Luca, in the Caribbean Club, and Eduarodo's. We also did take out from Eats Cafe, which was very reasonably priced. When we went out to explore the island, my boys enjoyed the Pirate Caves and the Blow Holes. We also went to Queen Elizabeth Botanic Park. It had some amazing plants and flowers, but we rushed through it because we were getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. If you go, go in the morning and bring lots of bug spray. We did a snorkeling excursion to Stingray sandbar and two other snorkeling sites. We used Captain Brian's. We had a blast. Miss Ollie, the manage at DP, is extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer most questions we had about the island. We had a fantastic trip. Thanks Shelly!
