Katherine Lippel review 16 Jul 2012
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Every day was wonderful. Divemasters very experienced. Wonderful wildlife both on land (reptiles and birds) and in the sea. Outstanding staff with remarkable social skills. Outstanding food, varied, excellent quality, you can control your own servings.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
This is not the place for people who want to be left to themselves. There is much social organizing, very pleasant, kind people, but not a place for those who don't want to interact with other guests and staff.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I was more impressed by the positive benefit on the environment, lots of gestures, meaningful gestures, to reduce water consumption, help conserve flora and fauna, support environmental causes. I was less struck by the interaction with local people, very few contacts. It must be said that Little Cayman is a very small island.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We hope to go back to this same resort, essentially because of the wonderful staff, food, and opportunities to see wildlife. We do not dive, but we do snorkel, and this was a great place to do both snorkelling and diving, particularly from the boat that goes out daily.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
I had some of the best snorkels of the last 10 years on the Bloody Bay wall. Reefs and the fish environment are in really good shape. The resort is delightful - small, excellent food and a really friendly environment. Being there on my own, I had a great and social time which is not always the case when traveling alone. A truly great and and refreshing getaway vacation! Much enjoyed and I plan on going back.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Accommodation is varied as rooms are different sizes and some are older than others.
Be specific if you are looking for air-conditioning as the ocean side rooms don't have it but are the newest rooms. The older rooms have a 'camp' feel but are immaculately clean with comfy beds, terry robes and all. No TVs or phones. This is a place to get a way from it - the internet comes and goes. Be flexible.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
The resort is celebrating its 25th year and seems a well integrated part of Little Cayman. They have a reverse osmosis plant and there is no bottled water on the site. Each client is given a sports water bottle when they arrive to keep. The dive masters are very careful of their clients and the reefs and ocean environment. They have a high standard of employment and work ethic.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
This was a fabulous holiday - should have been longer. It’s a 4.5 stars!
