The Cayman Islands Department of Tourism’s “Worry Free Hurricane Guarantee” is designed to ensure that visitors have peace of mind during their “vaCay” by providing a refund of fees or a generous re-booking window at participating hotels, villas and condominiums across all three islands should a severe storm affect plans.
The only destination-wide assurance of its kind in the Caribbean, the risk-free promise covers cancellations due to a Cayman Islands Government issued hurricane watch as well as compensation if a vacation is cut short due to inclement weather.
Offered by on-island accommodation partners, the goal of the guarantee is to put visitors’ minds at ease knowing they can book a trip to the Cayman Islands with total confidence that their travel investment is protected.
The guarantee ensures at most, a one-night maximum penalty for cancellations made up to 48 hours prior to check-in once government officials issue a hurricane watch. Additionally, many on-island partners are offering a free replacement stay throughout the summer months, allowing guests to rebook their visit for the same duration as their previously booked stay.
“We refuse to let inclement weather hinder our guests from planning the vaCay of their dreams,” said Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism. “Our annual Worry Free Hurricane Guarantee allows our visitors to focus on the exciting part of travel, deciding what they are going to see, eat, and do in the Cayman Islands, and not have to stress as they know their investment is protected.”
The 2026 Worry Free Hurricane Guarantee is available exclusively through participating hotels, condos and resorts across Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
