Went to the Brac and stayed at the Alexander.
We enjoyed the flowerson the Brac
It was not too busy at the hotel, seemed like about four rooms out of about fifty had occupancy. The hotel was very nice, it is new and the rooms are adequate. In the rooms are a stove a refrigerator and a microwave as well as a blender. This last item was important to us as we purchased our own rum and fruit juice to make our own drinks.
There was a nice bar by the pool which was surounded by beach sand. Several nights there was good music and there was a cookout with ribs, steak and jerk chicken served by the bar. There was a deck overlooking a pond and plenty of tables also on the pool side of the bar. There is also a restaurant at the hotel.
The only downside to the hotel is it's not on the water, but you can walk across the street to see it.
The diving was arranged through the Brac Reef Resort, heres a photo of the beach by the Brac Reef resort:
It is very organised and is valet style diving. We dove two days off the Brac and two days off Little Cayman. These are the dive boats they use:
The diving is always very good, seems like there were more sharks around than we've seen before, maybe because of the fishing tournament they had during the week.
We saw a few Lion fish, but they're being kept in check by the DM's...here's one that got away:
We saw the old Divi condos and Divi resort which was trashed by a huuricane in 08. It still is a mess, I wish the gov't would charge the Divi corporation every day it stays a mess. It is an eyesore to be sure!
