“Great Time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Watching the sunrise over the ocean while lying in a comfortable king size bed, then eating a delicious breakfast that varied from eggs benedict with salmon, mango and blueberry pancakes, french toast souffle, sausage, bacon, breakfast burritos, chocolate croissants, crepes, and of course all kinds of fresh fruit, yogurt, homemade granola, etc., before boarding a beautiful 42' dive boat that was only a short ride to some of the most spectacular diving I've ever done. That's just the way your days will begin at Pirate's Point in Little Cayman.

The staff was extremely professional and very conscious of everyone's safety on every dive. They actually rescued 3 divers from another dive operation that drifted away from their boat and found themselves lost and low on air. Martha, Gay, Bob, and Michelle, really know how to show everyone things that most people would probably overlook to maximize everyone's Little Cayman diving experience. It's refreshing to see people with so many years of experience between them still be so enthusiastic about their jobs. It's obvious they just love what they do.

After a couple hours of bottom time we're whisked back to the resort for another fantastic meal. Lunches were better than most dinners I've had at other resorts and restaurants around the Caribbean. Shrimp scampi over fusilli, fresh baked bread, southern fried chicken, cream of brie soup with croutons, turkey pot pie, chicken Parmesan, day after day I found myself taking as many pictures of the beautiful and delicious food as I did of all the other beautiful things above sea level. Diane and Jeff are master chefs and really make sure everyone will have something they'll enjoy.

The afternoons can be whatever you make of them. Grab a bicycle and go exploring, take a swim in the pool, go for a walk up the beach, read a book in a hammock, or some great snorkeling right in front of the resort.

At 6:30 the appetizers are served at the self serve bar and everyone congregates to see what Jeff has created for us. At 7:30 the dinner bell rings and we're seated in the dining room. The dinners that Jeff created for us were nothing short of spectacular. Fillet Mignon, Sushi grade tuna steaks, mahi mahi, pork tenderloin, etc. brought the dining room to enthusiastic rounds of applause night after night. It's clear that Chef Jeff takes your dining experiences very seriously and not only knows how to mix flavors like an artist mixes colors on a canvas, but also makes them look so good you feel almost guilty taking your utensils to them...almost.

Just be prepared for a regimented schedule. Breakfast bell rings at 8, dive boat bell rings at 9, lunch is right after you're brought back to the resort, appetizers at 6:30, dinner at 7:30, and then coffee in the bar right after dinner so the staff can begin setting up the dining room for breakfast.

All in all it was everything I could have hoped for in a Caribbean diving trip and after one week it's clear to me why so many people go back to Pirate's Point Resort year after year. Value.

Room Tip: We stayed in 5A and watched a sunrise over the ocean every morning lying in bed. No a/c, but the fa...

“Another Great Week”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

My friend and I had another great week of fun and diving at Pirates Point Resort. The diving was great and the staff is excellent. Safety is the chief concern and the dive masters are very knowledgable and informative. The food is excellent and presentation wonderful.
I am a return visitor and always feel relaxed and refreshed after I return from here.

“Great Food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

We just returned from a week at Pirates Point, and can recommend it for divers. There isn't much else to do on LIttle Cayman, but the diving is some of the best in the Carribean. The resort has seen better days, and feels like it could use some updating. It has a bit of a funky, artsy feel, but is very comfortable. Many of the people we met there have been repeat customers for years, to the point where we felt a little like outsiders. The staff is very hard working (not that many) and competent, but weren't overly friendly.

However, we can't say enough about the quality of the food, which was amazing for a place so far down the supply chain. It was quite ample and delicious at every meal. We also liked the open bar approach, and the nightly social hour before dinner. The place is very safe (they don't lock the doors), and our room was large and the bed comfortable.

They have one boat and send out as many divemasters as needed to break up the group. Since they have a max of about 20 guests, it never felt too crowded. One of the divemasters seemed to be obsessed with killing lionfish more than helping us enjoy the other critters, but overall the place seemed to attract very experienced divers who didn't need a lot of help. Overall, we would (and may well) return.
