Mmmm...Beer - Little Cayman Beach Resort & Cayman Brac Beach Resort?

[staggsSevin]

I'd say if you see algae taking the place where the coral was, then the coral had possibly died from the high temps, sctld....<insert reason here> as Algae won't grow on living coral only dead areas where the coral was living.

Thanks for all the feedback! Sadly it when I booked LC i always wonder if it will be the last time because of the state of the reefs in the Caribbean I nearly didn't go this year (will be in Philippines for a few couple in April/May) but decided I should do LC again because who knows when SCTLD is going to hit it hard....and I didn't want to wait until say October.

I did book Cuba for November but I kind of regret it incase the temps raise up really high again this year (which based on what your saying there is a good possibility)....I wanted to knock that trip out as well.

I do love the LC Beach Resort. Staff is great, valet diving is nice, walls are still awesome. So trip is not a total waste but it is pretty shocking the state the coral is in. We hadn’t been here before but have been all over the Caribbean and many places in the South Pacific. Never seen anything this damaged before.

We were at CBBR last week and are currently at LCBR.

Since you're currently on-site, what's the answer to the original question in this thread? (Price of local beer at the bars at these two properties). Surely you're drinking them to drown your sorrows.

Thanks. Spendy as expected, especially with a 1.22 conversion rate and 15% service charge. Makes a beer like $8.50 USD

Finally an answer to the OPs original question. Thanks.

I have seen some coral affected by SCTLD

I don't think there are any validated reports of SCTLD on Little Cayman or Cayman Brac.

I'll be at LCBR from April 25 thru May 3 and will do my best to report on conditions.

I would hope the prices are identical. Same person is responsible for both places!
