My wife and I just got back from a weeklong stay at Cayman Brac Beach Resort (CBBR). This was our 1st trip to the Brac although we had been to Grand Cayman a couple of times. We had such a wonderful time from start to finish.
Upon arrival on the Brac our transportation was waiting on us at the airport. Then we were meet with a big smile at the front desk and found out our initial room had 2 double beds. We asked if we could get a room with a king and they made it happen. After that we went into the restaurant and were meet with another big smile from Oscar Joe.
We were on the breakfast dinner meal plan and were not disappointed with any meal. This was the best resort buffet we ever had. Each day we ate lunch at the Tipsy Turtle and split a meal. The portions were plentiful not to mention delicious just like the main restaurant.
The Friday BBQ was really nice. This being a weekly event it brought many of the local folks out as well. Everyone mixed nicely and it was a terrific time. That evening they had a local guy come out and play some music, which was a nice touch. Several of us got up and helped him out on playing the bongos, tambourines and backup vocals. It made things interesting to say the least.
Monday night they showed a fish video that highlighted many of those you should expect to find. I had never seen a flapping dingbat and saw one on the video and following day BJ pointed out a few. 25 years of diving and my first encounter which was really cool.
The Tuesday night bingo was rather interesting. My wife and I were the only divers that participated. The remaining group was made up local grandmas. We found out that every Tuesday was bingo and Wednesday was bible study and the grandmas did not miss either of them.
Our room with a King was clean with an A/C that cooled the room off nicely. We always had plenty of hot water and pressure in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and we had Wi-Fi in the room that made it nice to check e-mails.
The grounds were well kept with plenty of room to spread out and relax. The hammocks in the afternoon after a couple of dives and couple cocktails were fantastic.
The diving was everything that you heard about Cayman Brac. Fantastic!!!!! Our crew (BJ & Eric) were extremely helpful guys. The dive brief before each day was really nice because it just gave you a better idea of what you might encounter. They went into great detail about every dive site. They can probably describe each dive site better than you can describe your own neighborhood!
Unfortunately I had some ear troubles, which prevented me from diving the 2nd half of my trip. I was really pleased to know they gave me a dive credit to use on our next trip. However the care they showed me was really over the top in customer service. Mick and Jennifer both drove me to see the doctor to get checked out and get some medicine. This news must of spread like wild fire because everyone on staff would ask me how I was doing and wanted to know if they could do anything. Customer service on levels was nothing less than 5 stars.
