While maintaining customs and traditions dating back to Suzy Soto's original creation of the Cracked Conch in 60's, the latest incarnation of this monument to Cayman Islands culture spared no expense in erecting the most elaborate and diverse dichotomy of Cayman tradition and ultramodern grandeur ever to serve the Cayman Islands.
