For me it was no sweat being off the beach, as Cayman has tons of public and pretty easily accessible ones \u2014 all of which are outlined in Botanica\u2019s beautifully designed and very well curated guide to the island.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of exploring the island, I highly recommend you rent a car \u2014 Botanica has discounts available if you plan ahead (unlike me, lol!) and each cottage had a parking space. Cayman is a very manageable size, especially the main attractions on the West Side, and Botanica is just a 10-15 minute drive from the airport, across from a public beach, and super easy access to anywhere on seven mile.<\/p>\n<p>Prefer two wheels?

A \u201cGood Morning Grocery Package,\u201d for example, stocks your fridge with breakfast essentials \u2014 clutch for a Saturday arrival given grocery stores are closed on Sunday \u2014\u00a0 including a dozen local eggs, cereal, a gallon of milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, fruits, jam, butter, artisan bread, pastries, coffee and tea. It\u2019s pricey at $250 \u2014 but Cayman isn\u2019t a budget destination.<\/p>\n<p>Rather avoid cooking altogether? A breakfast hamper or picnic is also available! For general groceries, the Market Fresh box is a seasonal delivery of tropical local produce and goods by local farmers like mangoes avocados plantains, passion fruit and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I got to try a gorgeous Grazing Box \u2014 a vegan option is also available, and you can add on prosecco, champagne or sparkling water. They can be upgraded to Picnic Experience with a a beach blanket, environmentally friendly bottle water, portable picnic table and pack everything up conveniently to go!<\/p>\n<p>Other options include a sustainable vegan Conscious Food Bundle, a sun-care loaded Fun In The Sun package, a self-care loaded Eucalyptus Shower Bundle, and more.

I do wish there was a bit more housekeeping \u2014 a light clean is available for a mid-stay refresh for guests staying six or more nights and a more extensive clean available for guests staying longer than ten days, but you can pay for additional cleans if you want or there are cleaning supplies on-hand if you want to tidy up yourself, and I know some travelers prefer the privacy of not having someone in their space daily.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there\u2019s a three or four night minimum stay, depending on cottage type, but I kind of love that. Cayman is too lovely to come for any shorter!<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I could not have been happier with my choice to stay at boutique rental property rather than a resort. Personally, if I stay in a bougie resort, I kind of like that to be my destination \u2014 if I\u2019m going to pay for all those amenities and comforts, I want to enjoy them! The issue in Cayman is, it\u2019s such a safe, manageably sized and easy island to navigate, it would be a shame not to explore it while you\u2019re here. Enter Botanica Cayman.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention, from a sustainable travel standpoint, it feels good spending your vacation dollars with a Cayman family rather than a corporation. If it\u2019s important to you to spend local but still want something bougie, boom!
