Papagallo condos are very pretty. They are located across from the restaurant of the same name. The beach is small but nice. Not lots of shade, but some. The best thing about the beach is it is so private. I have stayed there 4 times and usually my group is the only ones on the beach. A lot of people live there who work in town so they are gone most of the time. The housekeepers are very nice also. But, the water is not very good for swimming. Lots of sea grass and rocks and not too clear but a beautiful color. Actually, the water there is several colors. Get a condo on the upper level to see the colors of the water best. It has a beautiful pool and jacuzzi. It is not close to any restaurant except Papagallo Italian across the street and Calypso Grill in West Bay. The Grill is very good. Get some crab cakes. It is on the bay and has a beautiful view. Need to rent a car. You can snorkle there but the water is pretty rough, so we take the car to smoother places to snorkle. There is a grocery store in West Bay-very expensive but so are the rest of them. The condos are cheaper than those on Seven Mile Beach but if you want privacy, it is for you.

We enjoyed our stay at the Villas Pappagallo. It was in a very secluded area away from the crowds of SMB, but it was only about a 15-20 minute drive to Georgetown. The villa (39) was quite nice ... it had all the conveniences of home ... washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc. Probably the nicest thing was having four balconies ... one off each bedroom, then one off the dining room, and one off the living room. The snorkeling was great ... though you have to go off the end of the dock to do it.
Don't miss having dinner across the street at the Restaurante Pappagallo ... OUSTANDING! Bottom line ... for what you spend the Villas Pappagallo are a great choice when planning your trip to Cayman.

Wow! A Spanish-style condo in a secluded area of Grand Cayman - a perfect place for us to get away from it ALL! A cabana on the beach, a freshwater pool, nature trail, totally undeveloped beach and across the street is the best restaurant on the island. Close to all the stuff you'd want to do like: horseback riding, golf, scuba diving, wind surfing and Seven Mile Beach (just to see what the hordes are doing!) Our condo was beautiful and had everything provided including incredible Caribbean sea views from EVERY window - and 4 balconies! We loved it and can't wait to go back! We did a lot of research before we went and Villas Pappagallo had the best prices, too. You can email them for more info at ... or see their website at ...
