Frommer's Review

Durable and resilient, having survived periods that sent some of its competitors into bankruptcy, Brac Reef Beach Resort is the most visible hotel on Cayman Brac. Once the location was little more than a maze of sea grapes, whose venerable trunks still rise amid the picnic tables, hammocks, and boardwalks. The resort is family-friendly and family-run. Don't expect grandeur or anything approaching urban style or posh: It simply isn't part of the equation here. Situated on a sandy plot of land on the south shore 3km (2 miles) east of the airport, this resort is near some of the best snorkeling in the region. The motel-style units are comfortably furnished with carpeting, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, and tub/shower-combination bathrooms. The nature trails that surround the resort are great for bird-watching. Lunches are informal affairs, and dinners are most often served buffet-style under the stars. The bar is one of Cayman Brac's most popular with visitors.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
