price structure, an “inexpensive” room in Grand Cayman is often one
charging under US$150 a night for a double, a price that might buy
you a first-class hotel in many par ts of America.
Most of the big hotels along S even M ile B each don't offer meal
plans such as MAP (the M odified American P lan, which includes
breakfast and dinner). You'll often have to pay for your food a la carte.
Food prices are high since almost ev erything is imported, but they're
not nearly as lofty as the hotel prices; US$20 to US$35 will get y ou
a main course at a typical r estaurant. “Budget” would be any r estau-
rant serving main courses for US$18 and under.
