Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The Reef Resort's seclusion, long beach, ocean views, and casual peace-and-quiet ambience draw couples as well as families who wish to holiday away from crowds, and to snorkel and dive to their hearts' content. The resort faces northeast so beachfront balconies and patios are shaded in the afternoon. Tradewinds usually provide cooling.
Amenity highlights: A 1,600-foot beach provides ample room for enjoying the surroundings of this lovely Grand Cayman property; sunbathing is a popular pastime among guests of The Reef Resort, with coral heads right off the beach for snorkeling.
One pool complex comprises two rock-lined free-form pools with a children's pool between and an eight-person spa tub. One pool measures 75 feet long and is bordered by a rock waterfall. The other measures 40 feet and features an infinity edge. A second pool complex comprises an 80-foot-long free-form pool and a six-person spa tub.
Insider tip: Teak benches at the end of a 150-foot dock become a popular spot for ocean gazing at happy hour.

Recreation
Graced by palm trees, the Reef Resort's 1,600-foot beachfront offers uncrowded sunbathing, with coral heads right off the beach for snorkeling and two small areas for sand-bottom swimming. A reef 300 yards offshore generally keeps the water flat.

One pool measures 75 feet long and is bordered by a rock waterfall. The other measures 40 feet and features a central infinity edge. The complex includes a rock-lined eight-person spa tub. The second pool complex comprises an 80-foot-long freeform pool and a six-person spa tub.
