Comments	We left Atlanta and landed in Grand Cayman and to our great surprise found the new terminal in progress in Grand Cayman. It’s nice. We shortly boarded the prop plane to Brac, changed planes and landed in Little Cayman shortly afterward. We arrived to find the new lobby they built in the gift shop building and the restaurant and old lobby has been stripped to the studs. The new lobby is nice and I suspect the new restaurant will be too. They served meals in a converted meeting room. The food was good but not up to their normal standards. All meals were served buffet style in hotel pans. Breakfast included fruit, a big pan of scrambled eggs, sausage and what tasted to me, and others, like rancid bacon. They also had an omelet station available. Once they served pancakes and another day they had French toast. Most meals were average with some below par and some excellent exceptions. They would occasionally run out of food items on the buffet and it took them too long to replenish it. But no one went hungry even if they didn’t get what they wanted. Early in the week, the dining room was plagued by flies. Baffled why we were battling flies inside an air conditioned dining room, we finally noticed that they propped open the back door to the kitchen in the mornings. It is bizarre to me that they don’t understand the health hazards of allowing flies to gather in the kitchen. Someone must have taken control later in the week as the problem lessened. We didn’t get any rum punch vouchers this time although they did have the rum punch party later in the week. Cost cutting I guess, but with the bar prices up to over $15 US with tip for a small plastic cup with a couple dollars of alcohol and fruit juice, they would be better off using them as a teaser. Most of us bought a bottle of Seven Fathoms rum at the airport, and I bought a bottle of coconut rum and fruit juice mixers from the store. And I didn’t have a huge bar bill to pay. The rooms were awesome; the staff was great and the diving superb. Weather kept us, and all the other dive boats, on the south side for four days and while the reefs were healthy, we didn’t see much until we did an afternoon dive on the Soto Trader and the reef a few hundred feet away. There we saw a pair of eagle rays, a huge sting ray, a big barracuda, we saw a few of those during the week, and the largest lionfish I had ever seen. We concluded that the reefs on the resort side of the island are so heavily dived that the bigger marine life just avoids them. We did two dives on the north side on Sunday and two on Thursday. It’s always better on the north side. LCBR is still my favorite place to go diving but the wife went deaf and has a service dog now. The resort will not allow service dogs. So this might be my last trip to LCBR.

Thanks for a very helpful review. Little Cayman is on my bucket list. I wonder if fall is a better time to avoid it due to the winds/possible storms.

The best time to dive the Caribbean, as well as LCBR, is during the summer.
