Selita Ebanks on Grand Cayman's Jolly Roger

“Whatever you do, remember we drive on the left!” Is Selita Ebanks’ final piece of advice from an article written by Bianca Posterli over at Modelinia. The article entitled Secret Address: Selita Ebanks’ Cayman Islands is a nice overview from one of Caymans most beautiful exports Selita Ebanks. She gives us the low down on everything she loves to enjoy when she comes back for a visit. I have seen her having a few cocktails at Rackams and Calico Jacks after a day out on cruising the Caribbean sea in style with freinds and family on a boat, all of which is a great sign someone knows how to enjoy themselves in Cayman.

Here is how the article begins:

“Between its pristine beaches, eccentric nightlife, and delicious cuisine, the Cayman Islands is really a must-stop vacation spot. Lucky Selita Ebanks was not only raised in the British overseas territory of the Caribbean, but often returns to visit her extended family. If you’re looking for adventure, head down in November during Pirates Week to dress up like Blackbeard or a wench, or simply relax in the crystal clear waters. But whenever you go, here are some spots Selita highly recommends.”

Artists Impression of Camana Bay Plaza

Camana Bay has had a soft and small opening. There is now two shops or ‘PLAY’ areas as they have so modernly called them. First off the Cinema which is a franchise of Hollywood Theaters has opened up with 6 screens showing all the most recent box office hits. First off the selection of movies is refreshing to say the least here in Cayman. Secondly once you get into your theater the steep seating allows for you to sit anywhere and not have a head in the way, unlike the Marquee cinema which is flat seating and you always end up with a area of screen you can’t see.

Books & Books has also just set up and has the feel of a real book store with nice high shelving loaded full of books and presented in a very easy to find clean manner. Now I can’t say for sure if the selection is more or less than other stores on island but it is at least competetive with the others. The main thing here is it’s location in Camana Bay is very pleasant and they are said to be offering food and drink there such as US and UK stores have cafe’s in the book stores. I have always enjoyed that part of modern book stores so hopefully Books & Books will have that part operational soon as of right now there is no sign of it!
