Little Cayman Beach Resort

Great destination for a relaxed dive trip. The rooms are good
The ocean view rooms have a private balcony but the pool area rooms are a bit closer to the activity. Both are good options
The staff are wonderful. always very helpful. The diving is wonderful and the dive staff are great. There are bikes available for guests to explore the island. You can rent scooters nearby. There are a couple of other restaurants on the island for variety but the food at the resort restaurant is already good with lots of choices. There are kayaks available for guests, hammocks and beach chairs.
There's not a lot of snorkeling in front of the hotel but other areas around the island.

This was a dive trip. The crew/dive masters were great! The dive sites were amazing. Everyone who worked at the resort was amazing, helpful, and kind. We had the best time!

A charming, well-maintained, and service-oriented paradise!

Just big enough that you can do your own thing, but just small enough that it always feels like you're staying in a close-knit community. The rooms and grounds are always well-kept. Everyone on staff is above-and-beyond friendly, from the maintenance to the housekeeping to the food service to the front desk to the dive shop.

Having the world-class dive shop Reef Divers attached to the property is a great plus, but this would also be a great place to stay even if you're not diving.

If you’re staying for any more than a day or two, it’s worth it to spring for the all-inclusive package. Any meal for 2 will be 70$ CI, without alcohol. Other than that, the facilities are clean and well kept, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the view of the lagoon from the deck and beach is lovely. In our opinion, much more relaxing and worth the cost than the sister resort on the Brac.

This is a quiet inclusive resort focused around scuba diving. The dive shop and boats are a short distance from your rooms and within the resort. It is very quiet during the day, as most guests are diving, and it's loud at night with bar trivia and karaoke on specific nights. The meals were buffet-style and very good overall. A meal or drink package might be good value. Pool and hammocks are a good way to relax after the dives, or for a non-diving partner. Be aware there is very little to do on the island itself besides diving, snorkeling, or the beach.

Resort is kept in excellent working order. Very clean, friendly and very customer service oriented. Diving was phenomenal. Boat crew was excellent. Just show up and dive. They do all the rest! Reefs and the wall are healthy.
Food is gourmet all three meals. Good selections and a variety of choices
I will definitely return. Best experience I’ve ever had.

Surrounded by some of the best scuba diving in the Caribbean and the world. Water is perfect! Wall diving is incredible. Sea life is vibrant. Corals are alive and well.

If you like to scuba dive, then Little Cayman Beach Resort should be a must visit destination for you.

Anyone would consider theirself lucky to stay at this world class resort. Diving, staff, accommodations, dive boats, the bar, food are all 5 star. We had the best boar crew Tom and Adam. This is definitely worth visiting and staying for a week or so.

LCBR is perfect for a scuba diving vacation! The resort is clean and well kept. The staff are friendly. They have excellent operations of boats and scuba shop.

The staff is fantastic, friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean, food was good and the amenities nicely appointed.

Sharon of Reef Divers on-site is terrific and the stories from Tom enjoyable.

Will stay here and dive again!

The property maintained to a high level. Dive boat service was at its usual high standard. Resort staff are friendly and attentive.

Please note, under the new international rules limiting “Open Water” certified divers to 60 feet, the LCBR dive leader will seldom venture below that depth, and then only for a few minutes. Not a big hindrance since all the color and wildlife is in <60, but if you’re expecting to go deep, they discourage that in the dive briefings.

Still, some of the most spectacular diving in the Caribbean.

Food in the bar is filled with hidden charges. First, everything is in Cayman dollars. Not unexpected. Add 10%. Then there is an 18% gratuity and another 15% add for “service charge”. Many people don’t read that all gratuities will be charged and they often add a tip on top of all those surcharges. LCBR should list the full inclusive price without all the hidden add ins.

My only major disappointment is the quality of the kitchen. In last years, the food quality, preparation, and presentation was “cruise ship” quality. Today, the meals were poorly cooked (often dry and overcooked) and the quality of meats served were below that of our previous visits.

The buffet table is poorly attended after the initial rush of people coming in at opening and several dishes go empty until you hunt someone down to replenish them. Guest shouldn’t have to do that.

Still a great place to go, but not as good as it used to be.

I stayed at The Club and dived for 4 days. Here are some feedbacks:

The dive sites and shop were excellent: good system of Nitrox checking, prompt and efficient valet service, and courteous and knowledgeable boat crew. The weather was not too great during most of the days that I was there but obviously that is beyond anyone’s control. Adam, Jill, and Tom in particular were very helpful. For those reading, please remember to tip the dive staff well and thank them for what they do above and beyond behind the scenes that we don’t see to make this experience excellent for us divers.

Some suggestion to consider based on my experience with other resorts: consider an initial survey on the first day to guests about dive sites of request or on the converse, if divers have dived at other spots and if they wouldn’t mind diving there again so the staff and try to integrate people’s wishes. Also, consider investing in having some steel HP tanks on hand. They are more expensive than aluminum but many people, including me would be happy to pay extra for it (like Nitrox). Even if you charge $2 extra per tank, you will turn a profit and the tanks will pay for themselves in just one month. Options for DIN over Yoke connection (insert so it is interchangeable with just a Hex key) is also worth considering, perhaps at the next major cylinder overhaul and visual inspection time.

The food at Birds of Paradise was amazing; hats off to the chef and service staff for their friendly service. The alcohol at the Nut Bar was a bit expensive for the volume of cocktail that was made. But at a remote resort in Little Cayman, I understand the overhead cost is high so it is understandable and fair. Having a readily available menu and price for common cocktails posted may also be nice. Service staff at the bar was once again, very friendly. Every single person deserves commendations.

The accommodation at The Club can benefit from minor improvements: the unit I stayed in’s TV wasn’t working the first day (but to be fair, quickly rectified), and the carafe/pot of the coffee maker was missing. Neither were big deals because I was not making fair use of either of these items, but someone else might. The biggest complaint was the lack of noise insulation; my neighbors in the unit across me was having normal indoor voice conversation and I could hear every word; the walls are paper thin. They woke me at 5am in the morning (not their fault, they were just talking normally) and I had to put on noise cancelling headphones to go back to sleep. I also wasn’t made aware that there would not be room service during my stay. I am neat and did not fall short of towels so it’s not a big deal; I would just like to have been made aware.

The management at the resort earned my respect; going around for personal surveys so they can work on things real-time shows they care. Most importantly, recognizing the staff’s contribution and presenting their contributions by name at the end of the week to the guests at dinner is an extremely uplifting experience for staff and gives guests a chance to thank them. Overall, this is an excellent resort and I will definitely come back but I would like to try staying at the main resort next time, especially because I didn’t know about the 7-day cycle of new guests that the resort hosts. I hope some of my ideas will be taken into consideration.

This dive resort is the closest experience you can have to living on a live aboard dive boat. Only much better! The grounds are well maintained and the rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. The meals, all served buffet style, provide multiple choices, an excellent variety and are delicious. The staff, from house keeping, chefs and wait staff are friendly and accommodating. I cannot say enough about Tamara, the resort manager. She's always available to solve any issue, large or small and does it with a smile. At karaoke night encouraged her to sing - you would think Adele was at the mic. The outdoor bar is well stocked and run by a talented group of friendly and outgoing bartenders.
The dive operation is nothing short of amazing! True valet service is provided on the boats by a cadre of personable and talented dive professionals. They provide detailed dive briefings complete with colored illustrations and points of interest. Again, they are a warm and friendly group whose main objective is to allow you to enjoy world class diving while unobtrusively keeping you safe. The entire dive operation is overseen by Sharon, a lovely no nonsense woman with a wry sense of humor. From the boats to the nitrox fill station to the gear rinse tanks, everything is run and kept in tip top shape and Bristol fashion.
In all regards, Little Cayman Beach Resort is, without a doubt, a world class destination and will not disappoint.

Tamara took good care of me and my wife, helped us rent a kayak to Owen’s island!

I’ll never forget this experience Tamara I’m sure you know who I am! I’ll definitely come back!

I can’t tell you how pleased I was to spend a day there. Me and my husband had a plan to fly to little caymen and go kayaking to see owens island. Unfortunately the place we wanted to kayak from was closed for the week. But the beach resort staff was very welcoming they showed us around they also accommodated us like we were their guests at the resort. It was such a beautiful time we spend there, it was also very educational to us to learn all about the island. They showed us baby turtles they had just rescued and explained their anotomy it was just awesome. The front desk staff were so helpful and they lend us the kayaks to enjoy our day. It’s honestly just a beautiful getaway. I thank everyone who helped us on that mini trip there. Also I’ve never seen iguanas that close up:).

Great dive resort. Small island and all there is to do is scuba dive. Food was outstanding and dive operation is concierge diving. You will be spoiled.

Comfortable beach front room was maintained beautifully. The chef is wonderful. Made our dive group stay truly 5 star. Gotta get use to seeing sunbathing iguanas and late night, 10pm, hermit crabs traversing grounds.

Gorgeous place on the beach in little cayman, very friendly service, delicious food and incredible buffet breakfast. Unfortunately didn’t get the chance to stay there, but highly recommend the food, and the scenery:)

Excellent experience. Fantastic location. Friendly and efficient staff and management. A must visit if you go to the Caymans.

Amazing experience attending DAN conference. Staff are amazing and diving is great. Loved the experience.
