Not being a person who runs in large groups or drinks much, I will share my trip experience at Little Cayman Beach Resort. Traveled with one other diver and we tried making polite small talk with some of the others in the large groups and were treated as if we had the plague. One lady was out of her group herd for a minute at the bar and was so much nicer and actually gave us a minute of conversation. An older lady was there alone and people were not very nice to her; she was alone most of the time. The ocean front room was amazing and the other rooms all have the wall AC units which are loud. Very loud. Everyone loved the food except me because I do not eat much pork. Mai mai was served once and over a period of a week I loved one dinner. Breakfast was fine. Lunch was a generic turkey sandwich everyday on stale bread. The desserts kept me fed. Claudia the hostess was a wonderful happy presence. The dive masters were a little sassy. The cats and iguanas were nicer.
Maid service was spectacular. We went to the free rum punch happy hour to drink juice - no rum - and listened to advertisements on the spa, gift shop and other upsales. Our package included two drinks a day and it appeared we were the few who tipped with each drink and the bar keep under-poured and were not appreciative of our generosity. The pool and grounds were immaculate and I wish I would have instead tipped the smiling men who maintained those areas. The dive boats were like a cattle boat and they valet divers so we do not step all over each other. I spent over five grand plus airfare and unlike many others who return every year, we will not return as it is a great big world with other places to dive. The air gave me a headache every time and it quickly became boring underwater. Return divers looking for their past art works in the bar found it blown away as they only keep the professional looking art up. Money makes the world go around and I do not feel as if I got my five thousand dollars worth. Mainly the generic food and over-priced and under-poured cocktails. Awful wine! They could upgrade the menu and charge extra for people like me who want a surf and turf - filet and lobster tail - but I can guess this entity would make that generic and cheap like all of their food. My wish is that Four Seasons / Ritz Carlton would open a joint on Little Cayman for people who like good food / wine, no cattle boats and no sheeple discounts. Sheep belong on farms! All the reviews had me thinking we were going to a classy resort and towels, suits hanging over balconies confirmed to me that this was not upscale enough for my preference. Additionally, people were in the dining room in their bath suits and no shoes. Don't hate me because I have high standards when spending so much money!
