It was unbelievable. Visited: February 2007 Posted by wally The Southern Cross CLub might not be for everyone, but to me and my family it is the ideal vacation. The resort had 12 or 13 beach bungalows on a huge beach. It was not a swimming beach (there was turtle grass in the water), but a beautiful deserted swimming beach could be found on uninhabited Owen island about 300 yards off shore from the resort. Southern Cross had bikes and kayaks that were free, so we could explore the island at our leisure. However, I did not have much leisure time. I dived every morning (2-tanks), and fished with the resort's guide almost every afternoon. It was awesome. The part that was so amazing for me was that the resort was on a little remote island in the Caribbean (Little Cayman only has about 100 people living there full time), but they still had great food, high speed internet, a spa, and all the amenities. It ws like Robinson Crusoe with a all the luxuries of the Ritz. If you need night clubs, fancy resaurants, and glitz, go to Seven Mile Beach. If you want barefoot luxury (Southern Cross's mantle, not mine), go to Little Cayman and the Southern Cross Club. 18 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful.

Visited: March 2005 Posted by michelejoyce My husband and I hate big, crowded commercial resorts but have noticed that you typically trade creature comforts and amenities when you go the boutique route. That was not so here! The Southern Cross Club was nestled on 900 feet of a white sand, palm- lined beach. On this large stretch of land, it had just 13 airy, well appointed bungalows. All had 180 degree ocean views, large porches, air conditioning and outdoor showers. The club also had a seaside min-spa, kayaking opportunities, deep sea fishing and outstanding diving. What was additionally suprising, was that it had its own club-front pier and diveboats. So there were no shuttles, long waits for equipment, or crowded boat rides. The club was also conveniently located by Bloody Bay Wall, one of the "holy grails" of the dive world. The food was also outstanding - very fresh, tasty and tropical. Overall, the pristine, unpretentious beauty of the resort and the marine life will linger with you long after your stay... and beckon you back for many return visits. 13 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Laid-back luxury meets diving bliss at Southern Cross Club. Visited: October 2003 Posted by michelejoyce Southern Cross Club was my Caribbean vacation ideal. It was uncommercialized barefoot elegance set in a pristinely natural setting. There were only 12 or 13 bungalows, all beautifully appointed. We experienced much more more marine life than human life! The resort was set along a long a stretch of beautiful white sand beach speckled with groups of swinging cloth hammocks. The resort's laid-back luxury comforted in a subtle way that easily let us relax into the slow rhythms of island life almost immediately. The staff was sincere and accommodating without being intrusive, and the food was fresh and delicious, without being rich. And the diving~ superlative! Bloody Bay Wall was accessible to expert and amateur divers alike as it began in as little as 15 feet and in some places~ dropped off to oblivion. Also, it was literally crammed with sealife - four-foot barracudas, morays, sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, reef sharks, and endless coral gardens ~all in about 150 foot visability. This was the kind of vacation that will linger in my memory long after my visit. 10 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Paradise with exquisite service. Visited: September 2002 Posted by Katrinas Wow! This was the perfect place to get away from it all and to relax. The cottages were sprinkled across the beautiful beach - no overcrowded feeling here! The staff was so friendly and all knew us by name and did all they could to make it a perfect get away. The rooms were spacious, clean and had the most beautiful views. The diving was beyond explanation, beyond imagination! The dive masters were all very friendly, knowledgeable, and lots of fun. I was concerned that as a newly certified diver, the dives might be overwhelming. This was not the case at all, and the dive team lended that extra attention and advice to my husband and me which eased away any nervousness that was there. The food was great! Everything was very fresh and full of flavor. There were kayaks and bikes that you could go exploring on. There was a fishing guide for fishing trips. We utilized all of these and enjoyed each. Our favorite was kayaking out to Owen island, just off shore, and snorkeling away the afternoons. We can't wait until another chance to return. 9 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? The best place to stay in the Caymans! Visited: May 2001 Posted by diverdowndp My wife and I have gone to Southern Cross Club annually over the last five years and absolutely love it! The accommodations are spacious bungalows built directly on their white sand beach. You can be literally 20 feet from the water's edge (all units are air conditioned). The meals are always included and always great. I'm still savoring the pepper crusted mahi we had during our last visit! The dive program is fantastic with two boats, five dive masters and very small groups on board (6-8 usually). My wife is not a diver, so she typically spends her mornings on Owen Island; a small deserted island about 1/4 mile from the club with the best swimming beach on Little Cayman. She kayaks over with a small cooler of fruit and drinks provided by the club and sets up her "day camp" for reading, sunning, and relaxing. Afternoons we typically fish, kayak, snorkel, bike, or just relax in the many hammocks along their beach. Southern Cross Club is one of the only vacations I go on where I come back truly relaxed, refreshed, and ready to work again. That's why we keep going back! 11 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Excellent getaway from it all. Visited: November 2000 Posted by aebarbee This was a wonderful resort with nice people. We had three wonderful meals provided daily, all of which were excellent. Diving was phenomenal. If you don't mind not having casinos, phones and bright lights, then this is the place for you! We would go back in a minute! 8 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful.
