Hello Courtney,
Thank you for your kind comments about my interest in what The Waterford is creating for their clients. They have created a WINNER of a real estate package for the discerning buyers. I will check in with the project again to see how it is doing. Enjoy your day in Paradise.

Jim,
I just thought it would be worth mentioning that the property to the south of The Waterford, including all the residential lots around the golf course, has been bought by the group that owns the Ritz Carltion- our neighbor - for about $85 million US. The plans will include a signature 18 hole campionship golf course and home sites and residences in the multi millions. The area that The Waterford is located is surrounded by exclusive homes, 5 star hotels and the only 18 hole championship golf course in Grand Cayman.
Its exciting to see how its all unfolding but, what I like the msot is the “low density” exclusive approach to the property. Peaceful and Elegant!
When are you coming back to see us?

Hey Craig,
Great to hear from you again! Thanks for the update on what is happening with the property surrounding The Waterford project. That is very exciting news and information that confirms the incredible value of what The Waterford is creating. Pre-sales are definitely the way for a buyer to go. It is a tremendous value. I will be back for a visit in October on my way to the BVI and the USVI to do the internet reporting for their boat shows. See you then.
Jim
I love Grand Cayman and I love this project, its flying

Hey Stephen,

Jim,
Some very big news is on the way!
Over the next weeks we are going to be announcing the name of a Luxury, Five Star brand at The Waterford in Grand Cayman. Its been something we have been working on for almost 2 years. Obviously, being part of a major International Hotel group at this level will guarantee the highest of quality and services for our hotel guests and owners.
Your site will be one of the first places we release the information.
Its exciting with whats happening on site, we have started construction and we have about 25% of the inventory pre-sold.
As far as the Island goes,
they are playing the Caribbean Amatuer Golf Championship on the Golf course next to our property this week. The course hase never looked better and there is some great talent from the Caribbean region here.
I also just heard today that Delta is adding a second flight each day from Atlanta. Our airlift is stronger than its ever been with easy connections and direct flights from several major cities and hubs.
Talk to you soon
Craig

Hey Craig,
Just noticed your blog on this website. We were just in the Caymans and checked out the Waterford and the 2nd phase of the Grand Caymanian. We are seriously considering investing in this product. I love the Caymans and feel as though it would be a great investment for our future. Debra showed us around when we were there and the plans and the Resort are phenominal. I didn’t want to leave. If there is any new information please contact me. Looking forward to the exciting new developments.

Craig,
You never cease to surprise me. We will stay tuned for the upcoming announcement on our Caribbean Blog Site. There is nothing like an “exclusive”. Until then…fair winds! Jim
Jim,
As promised I wanted to provide you with some great news on our Cayman Island properties.
The Waterford Private Residence Club and The Grand Caymanian Resort have both officially become part of the Wyndham International Resort family.
This is really big news for us and something we have been working on for a long time. We are very proud to be part of Wyndham Worldwide here in the Cayman Islands.
The Waterford will be part of the Wyndham Grand Bay Collection of Resorts. This is Wyndham’s 5 star tier with properties all over the world and some really great Caribbean destinations. Its a perfect fit for The Waterford
The announcements will be coming out over the coming weeks but I wanted it to start with you.
For the owners of fractional and whole ownership units this news will be a great way to start the New Year. Having the power of Wyndham behind our Cayman properties really adds to our brand recognition in the region.
Although the Grand Caymanian is over 70% sold out already, there are still some great opportunities at The Waterford.
I am ready for that cigar now!
Craig

WOW!!! You must be very proud of this latest accomplishment for your destination properties in the Caribbean! I look forward to learning more about the details. I will not only provide the cigars, but I still have a BIG red waiting for you. Until then, congratulate your team from the “old salt” that keeps banging around the Caribbean helping people buy property.
