If you seek an idyllic spot away from the crowds where you can dive your heart out – you’re in luck. Cobalt Coast Resort is definitely off the beaten path, and that’s what makes it so special.

Located on Grand Cayman’s northern coast, Cobalt Coast Resort is a 3-star dive resort about four miles from Seven Mile Beach.

Accommodations are spacious with rattan furnishings and brightly hued bed and window fabrics. Rooms include TVs, coffee makers, and some with separate living rooms – perfect for spreading out. No dinky bathroom toiletries here. Don’t be surprised to find full sized bottles of shampoo and real bars of soap in the bathroom. That’s just how they roll.

The real lure of Cobalt Coast Resort is its dive facility. Dive-tech, the onsite dive center is professional and well staffed. Divers have access to daily 2-tank boat dives, unlimited shore diving available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, they offer all-inclusive dive packages, which include unlimited diving, premium drinks (up to five a day) and meals with your oceanfront accommodation.

After a day’s dive, guests can chill out in the spa tub or outdoor pool. The resort also provides free WiFi – perfect for uploading your day of amazing dive photos and videos to Facebook and Twitter.

Meals at Cobalt include varied options of Caribbean style dishes and American fare (for breakfast, lunch and dinner).

By the end of your stay, the friendliness of the staff coupled with the relaxed, homey atmosphere will make you feel like you’ve stayed with family. But not the dysfunctional, annoying family you dread seeing – the fun ones you like to visit often.
