There's nothing like a Cayman Islands New Year's Eve when it falls on a Sunday, especially if you and your dog like your NYE calm and quiet.

You didn't win our Join The (Ocean) Club Giveaway? Don't fret. Our friends at Ocean Club have an exclusive deal just for UC fans to take advantage of.

Stroll among the monuments to Haiti's heroes in Champs de Mars and it quickly becomes evident which one seems to be held in the highest esteem.

All things being equal, I'd rather find myself in the surrounds pictured above... Buck Island... St. Croix... U.S. Virgin Islands... Home.

Many Grace Bay hotels are all about luxury, families, or partying. Ocean Club, I thought, must be solely about the beach, right?

Few places provide it better than the sea; fewer still as spectacularly as The Bahamas. Beneath the waves amid the clear, the blue, all worries fade away.

It's our first trip back to our home island of St. Croix in just over three years, and really, it could not have come at a better time.

I didn't notice Chez Gisèle et Philippe at first. Once I did, though, I couldn't take my eyes off the red-roofed home just above la plage.

Grace Bay is an otherworldly Shangri-La of a beach that exceeds the wildest dreams of all lovers of sun, sand, and sea. And we want you to enjoy all of it!
