Here we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets. The staff was friendly, and they had a superb housekeeping staff. The waters were crystal clear, with fantastic snorkeling. It was also conveniently located to many attractions, local to super markets and restaurants. The condos were comfortable and well furnished. All accommodations had direct views to the beach and sea from individual screened in porches. The complex was located on the beach! |

Our stay at the Reef was absolutley wonderful! We were celebrating our 26th year of marriage. It was our first time to the Caymans, and The Reef was perfect for our stay. Our check-in was easy, our room was wonderful! We had a kitchenette, which was great! We were able to enjoy our breakfast and lunch right off of our balcony which overlooked the beautiful ocean. Also, the Reef was kind enough to give us a free bottle of champagne in our suite! All of the employees were very kind and courteous. We can't wait to come back to the Reef again. |

This was an excellent accommodation. It had a relaxing atmosphere, and was away from the hustle of George Town. The cost of food in the restaurant was very reasonable compared with other local restaurants and quality of food. The BBQ was excellent. Also, the Snorkel and Stingray City trip was fantastic. |

Cayman is the best destination. After doing hotels, I tried Discovery Point Club and never looked back. All units are beach front! They have a great beach, pool, and on site staff. They also have the best view of sea and sunsets on Seven Mile Beach. I prefer the upper floors. |

We gave each other a vacation for Christmas, and stumbled upon the Reef. It was the best find we have ever made. We haven't been to Grand Cayman in 15 years, and fell in love with it all over again. The last time we stayed on the west end, and boy how it has changed. The Reef was perfectly situated in peace and tranquility. It was a bit of heaven. The people were wonderful, and the place was perfect for a comfortable laid back week. They had all of the comforts of home and more. Also, waking up to the ocean right out our bedroom window was perfect. We hope to return. |

We just returned from The Reef: my mother, two teenage children, my husband and me. What a great trip! Every one of us found something to enjoy about this resort and beautiful Grand Cayman Island. I booked The Reef based on it being far from the crowded Seven Mile Beach areas, and because I had not seen a bad review of it. It was everything I had hoped for. A rental car is necessary to go to Rum Point and a day trip to Georgetown for shopping and snorkeling. We chose the Simply All Inclusive plan, so our meals and drinks were included. I was very pleased with this choice, as the food was good. It was also great fun to have the bartenders mix up island specialties without worrying about the price per drink! Breakfast was not the best, and we found ourselves getting muffins and juice from the store across the street. Otherwise, the All Inclusive was a fun and stress-free way to vacation. The staff at The Reef was wonderful. Jake Morgan, the concierge, was the best; and Harry, the bartender, introduced us to the Reef our first night in true style! The rooms were clean, and the pool and beach were perfect. I wish I was still there! |

My husband and I were just discussing our winter vacation (February in Canada is no fun!). We agreed that virtually nothing could surpass Turtle Nest for friendliness, spacious and clean accommodations, location (far from the madding crowd but close enough to shops,etc.). Also, the snorkeling is utterly marvelous, and right off the huge white-sand beach. The people at Turtle Nest will do everything in their power to make your stay a little slice of Heaven. |

The resort was located on the east end of the island, away from the busy end of the island. There was a market just across the street where you can find food and supplies for your room. The rooms opened up direct to the beach, and had a great view. Ocean Frontiers was the in-house dive group, and they did a great job. Restaurants were available with a bit of a drive. I recommend a rental car to get around - especially since cab fare from the airport is pretty steep. The beach was a beautiful white sand that was raked often to remove any trash. The staff was courteous and friendly. The only negative was that the daily maid service was only for fresh towels and trash. The beds were made once during our week. |

The staff was outstanding - every single one. The accommodation is a steal at such a bargain price. There was no hassle to buy condo - they asked only once. The food, beverages, etc. were all top notch (thanks Val). Even the boss, Lawrence, was a down to earth nice guy. Thanks folks! I'm on my way again in October of 2008. |

Our stay at The Reef was a breathtaking adventure to say the least. The staff at The Reef could have been hand picked by my wife and me. They were super efficient, and arranged all requests with precision. Our condo was always immaculate and fresh. The food fantastic, and the clear turquoise water was surely made in Heaven. We will return again this year and hopefully many years to come. |

My husband and I recently returned from our visit to The Reef. We were the first all-inclusive guests, and were pleasantly surprised. The drinks were excellent, and the food was great! We enjoyed watching The Barefoot Man, also. The staff was great, also. They knew us by name almost immediately. Our room was spacious and always clean. We look forward to our next trip to The Reef. |

We just returned from five wonderful days at the Reef. We arrived at the airport on time, and rented a car from Andy's. It's probably a good idea to reserve a car ahead. There were a couple of people beside us who didn't, and there were no cars to be had. We stopped at Fosters for groceries, and we were off. We also went to Hurley's grocery a couple of days later - and both were great stores. We had rented a deluxe studio, but were upgraded to a one-bedroom for some reason. No one ever said why. What a wonderful suite! Although, we didn't see the deluxe studio. I think now I would pay the extra for the one-bedroom. You get a full kitchen, which we loved. We made all of our meals and ate on our balcony overlooking the ocean. We only ate out once-on our half day trip to Georgetown. We went snorkeling every day right in front. It was awesome. There were no crowded beaches, and there was always an open beach chair and plenty of shade if you wanted. Like a lot of reviews indicated before, I don't think this is a place for someone who wants to be entertained all the time. It is a place to go sit on the beach, relax, walk on the beach or take your rented car for a ride and explore the many beach spots around. Although there were a few night time activities, and I think Morritts has some night things going on as well. You can rent kayaks, wave runners and other things at Morritts. The resort and suite were spotless. All in all, it was a perfect vacation getaway. |

When we wanted to get married, we called The Reef Resort's wedding consultant, Linda, and told her we wanted to get married on her dock. We requested a very, very informal wedding, with no family, and no flowers. Linda and Sandra honored our wishes to the tee. We said our vows on 9/29/06 with Rev. Meghoo, after which we "took the plunged" into the ocean, swam to shore and toasted our day at Castro's. It was our perfect day! Last year, we had to return for our first anniversary. We have been to many different tropical islands, and all were wonderful experiences. But to come back to The Reef Resort is absolutely Heaven on earth! This year, we cannot wait for our second anniversary, so we are returning for a week in May. As all the other reviews have reflected, this place is for total relaxation and restoration. Alaos, the people who work at The Reef have to be some of the nicest people you will ever meet! |

We will be staying at the Reef this coming weekend for seven days. It is our yearly vacation - which we love. All the members of the staff are friendly, and always extend the island hospitality. Our kids start asking two months before we go: "How much longer 'til Cayman!?" |

My family and I just returned from a week stay at The Reef. With three small kids, it isn't always easy to find a good blend of relaxation (for us), fun activities (for them), a great beach and sun, and plenty of room. The Reef offered all of that and more. Our room was wonderful with an incredible unobstructed view to the sea. When our infant is older, we will have to move into a two-bedroom suite. But for now, the one-bedroom offered plenty of room. We sat on the beach every day while the kids played in the sand or the pool for hours. We also ventured to Rum Point a few times just for a change of pace - and that was lovely as well. By the end of the day, we were usually exhausted so we ate almost every evening at the bar. The food was very good - especially the Mahi! Yes, it was somewhat expensive, but so was the rest of the island so you have to plan for that in advance. Fosters and Hurleys were good places to go for basic breakfast and lunch items so you can afford to splurge for dinner and drinks. We thought this vacation was perfect, and we will definitely be coming back next year. In fact, we are seriously considering the investment option so we can come back every year! |

It was one of the best vacations my wife and I have ever had. We have been to numerous vacation dive destinations, and this was one of the best. They had great staff and great food! We will definitely come back to this resort. |

Aqua Bay was a perfect place for vacation. We had a splendid time. Deena and her staff were wonderful, and made our stay such a pleasure. We already booked for next year. |

I came to the Caymans for my son's wedding, and had the most wonderful week at the Reef. The resort exceeded my expectations. The one-bedroom suite was spotless, and beautifully decorated with every convenience. The beach was amazing - to step out onto the patio right on the beach each morning was heaven. I could have stayed forever. The staff was friendly staff, and the resort was beautiful. I don't often visit the same place twice, but the Reef will be my exception. I will definitely be back! |

If you want to relax in a cottage environment on a very beautifully kept beach with tiled floors to keep the sand away, this is the place. Imagine stepping out of your door onto the beach! There is plenty of great food, a nice bar, entertainment, a new pool, and watersports. Also, no one wakes you while sunning to braid your hair or hassle you to buy a t-shirt! All the people here are nice. I have come here five times. The second time I came, they remembered me! One time, I stayed across the street at the new Hyatt. And, if you want to take a vacation at a regular, but nice, hotel - go for it. Take the elevator to the lobby, swim in a pool. However, if you want to go to the beach, you have to walk across the street to the Beach Club! The rustic atmosphere is a wonderful and rare experience. I will be back! |

I would not stay anywhere else. The apartments were quite large and immaculate. The property itself was lovely, and we had a large screened in porch overlooking the Caribbean. The pool was also the perfect size and well kept. I loved the location as it was away from all the hubbub of the major hotels. I am going back in January and will stay here again. What a wonderful property! |
