Comments	This is an all inclusive resort except for drinks. The resort is newly renovated and is nicely laid out. It has two floors but no elevator. The staff is very helpful with your luggage. A refrigerator is available upon request and you can obtain snack food and alcohol at stores located a couple miles away. You can take a taxi or use their free bicycles. The prices at the bar are comparable to US. A nice pool but no shade around it. There are cabanas along the beach with hammocks and lounge chairs. The food is buffet style and was very good. The staff was very accommodating to individual dietary needs. The room was comfortable, good air conditioning, and free internet that worked well. The dive shop is part of the property and has an excellent staff. You can rent anything you need and for this trip I rented their BC. They group according to skill levels with a dive master. There is a rinse tank for cameras and a separate one for masks. There is also a table for cameras. The boat also was equipped with a head. The dive times are conveniently timed after breakfast so you are not in a hurry. Our equipment was always ready and the tanks typically were filled over 3000 psi. The reefs were fairly healthy but not an abundance of fish. There are friendly groupers that like to petted and touched. Any current was slight. There is an extra fee to go over to Little Cayman and that trip is optional. The dive sites are not far away so often the surface interval is back at the dock. If you are looking for a good place to stay and dive, I recommend the Brac Reef Beach Resort.
