Travel Tuesday: Win a Dream Honeymoon in St. Maarten or Grand Cayman!

Words by Jennifer Stein

Fronting the famous Seven Mile Beach, the Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa is in the heart of Grand Cayman. Here, a busy and bustling world may be forgotten and guests are invited to enjoy tranquility, where the only noise is the sea breeze whispering through the casuarinas and palm trees. The Westin Casuarina’s beachfront pool features a swim-up bar and easy access to a variety of water activities – from wave runner rentals to parasailing-- for a vacation that is relaxing and adventurous at the same time.

Dining at The Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa is a main attraction with exquisite food, uncompromising service and spectacular ocean views. Dining options include Casa Havana, a Four Diamond dining experience featuring a fusion of island cuisine, Cuban offerings and Asian influences and boasting a Wine Spectator-awarded wine list. Long recognized for its excellence, The Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa, Grand Cayman has everything you need for a truly magical wedding: gorgeous beaches, elegant indoor venues, and experienced staff attuned to all your needs. The resort can accommodate 650 people, theatre-style in its Governors’ Ballroom or 300 in its Galleon Ballroom.

The Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa’s sister property, the Westin Dawn Beach Resort & Spa, St. Maarten occupies one of the best beaches on this dual-nation island. Located just minutes from the Princess Julianna Airport, The Westin St. Maarten features the largest freshwater infinity edge pool on the island, including a swim-up bar and hot tub, a fitness room, 10,000 square feet of banquet and meeting space that can welcome 10 to 1,000 people for weddings and sublime vistas of St. Maarten’s sunrise. There's no need to leave the resort for a wonderful meal. On-site dining venues include two oceanfront restaurants, one of which is considered one of St. Maarten’s best—Aura Steakhouse. Other eateries include a poolside cafe, lobby and pool bars and room service. Both resorts also boast a Hibiscus Spa -- one of the largest and most sought-after relaxation experiences on both islands, promoting an approach to health that encompasses body, mind and soul. Services include massages, body treatments and facial services derived from the best of European and Eastern wellness traditions.

With all of the luxurious appointments that travelers come to expect from the Westin brand, guest rooms at both properties feature Westin's Heavenly Bed® and Heavenly Bath®, contemporary and beach-inspired furnishings and amenities such as an in-room safe, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, refreshment center, ceiling fan, AC, coffee maker, wireless internet access, over-sized bathroom, TV, and a balcony with a resort view, ocean view, or oceanfront view.
