Frommer's Review

Fans of this resort liken it to a contemporary B&B where most clients are deeply involved with diving. It's one of the best resorts for divers on Grand Cayman, thanks to the on-site, full-service dive operation (Divetech), and a deep drop-off (the North Wall), a short distance offshore, that's loaded with marine life. You have to drive through Hell to get there, though. Don't expect a sand beach: The coastline on this part of the island is infamously composed of jagged rocks, and swimmers use a series of ladders and metal steps to lower themselves into the surf. Even the diving boats have to moor at the end of an extensive pier to avoid damage. Rooms include oceanfront suites and standard rooms, which are all spacious, modern, cozy, and soothing, with Marimekko fabrics from Finland and European plumbing fixtures. On-site is a well-managed, well-run restaurant, Duppies, which offers well-prepared light fare, including platters of local food, and sandwiches.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; pool; Jacuzzi; watersports equipment rentals

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.
