When you pull into the Little Cayman Beach Resort, it looks like a nice Caribbean hotel but once you’re met by the friendly and wonderful staff and check into your room, it’s clear that it’s much more…it’s a Caribbean gem. The rooms are newly updated, clean and comfortable. We had 3 people in our room and there was enough storage for our gear and clothing. We chose the meal plan and glad we did because the food is amazing. One night, while I was enjoying a spinach and watermelon salad with a tangy vinaigrette, one of many delicious food options, I asked a women working in the dining room if she knew what the vinaigrette was. She was actually the chef and enthusiastically explained the ingredients. I thanked her and complimented her on the food and found out that she went to the New York Culinary Institute. No surprise there. Make sure to get a slice of the chocolate cake...it’s chocolaty decadence…good thing I burned a lot of calories diving. There’s not a lot to do on the island except dive, the sightseeing is chill and easy to walk or bike to but the Beach Resort bar is a fun hang out.

But the main reason for being there is the diving and the diving was great. Reef Divers are onsite and the staff, equipment and boats are all exceptional. Nice wall dives on the Cayman Ridge or Cayman Trench, that reach depths of 25,000 feet…yes that’s 25 thousand feet. The coral is healthy with lots of beautiful and sometimes strange looking fish. Overall, a great Caribbean dive trip.
