The Bar/Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman

"A free-form swimming pool, the second-largest on the island, segues into a broad band of Seven Mile Beach where guests can lounge in canopied beach chairs, cabanas, or daybeds, check out complimentary sea kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkel gear, or rent a Hobie Cat sailboat"

"Top toque Eric Ripert created one of the eateries, Greg Norman designed the golf course, tennis is run by Nick Bollettieri (coach of greats like Andre Agassi), La Prairie operates the sybaritic spa, and the Ambassadors of the Environment children's program was created by none other than Jean-Michel Cousteau"

"Bar Jack and Silver Palm provide inviting indoor and outdoor settings for beer, wine and craft cocktails"

"The reception area with chandeliers and masses of flowers opens into the Silver Palm Lounge, where delicious munchies accompany evening drinks—with the promise of a glass Martini “luge"

"The Club Lounge does not boast the best views on the property, but the environment is exclusive and comfortable"

"Come cocktail hour, head to Silver Palm lounge for a Belly Pepper (Stoli citrus vodka, muddled red and green bell peppers, vanilla syrup, lemon juice and ginger ale) and a Cuban cigar, or kick back outside at Bar Jack with a frozen banana-berry Rum Runner"
