We are a small full service all-inclusive diving resort located beach front on Grand Cayman's secluded East End. The best diving in the Cayman Islands - Grand Cayman's East End - is our front yard. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/Cayman_Islands/divelodge/hotel/109/4/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:28:26 EST Our 12 guest rooms are all air-conditioned with private bathrooms. The rooms are simple, clean, and neat; they are cleaned and maintained each day by Miss Blondell, our housekeeper for many years. All rooms have recently been re-furbished with tile flooring, new furniture, as well as new window and bed treatments. Remember, the rooms are not to be considered luxury accommodations and are not intended to be compared to accommodations like the Hyatt or the Westin which cost $250 - 400 each night for simply a room. We now have a total of 12 rooms - Four of our rooms are oceanfront rooms - directly facing the ocean 25 feet from the water; two of the oceanfront rooms are on the upper level opening onto a large sun deck; one of the upper level oceanfront rooms has 2 double beds and the other has a king bed and a double bed. The other two oceanfront rooms are located on the lower level; these lower level oceanfront rooms each have a king bed and open onto a private porch which faces the ocean. The oceanfront rooms can be specifically reserved. Six of our rooms are standard rooms. These all have 2 double beds and they face the courtyard or the vacant land next door. They are directly adjacent to the oceanfront rooms and when you step out from your room and turn right or left you will then be looking right at the ocean. Two of our Rooms are "Economy Rooms". These two rooms are just as nice, but do not have French Doors with ocean views. These rooms are available at a nightly discount, and one is particularly appropriate for singles. AMENITIES: Our rooms open onto sun decks, porches, or courtyards - and all are very close to the ocean. Most rooms have 2 double beds. King beds are available in the oceanfront rooms which are 25 feet from the ocean's edge. The non-oceanfront or standard rooms are "just around the corner" from the oceanfront rooms and the ocean is visible simply by turning to your left or right. The rooms are free of telephones and televisions; contact with civilization is easily made in the office and bar where telephones and fax machines are available ... and we do have a TV in our open-air bar area.The rooms are seconds from the open air dining area and open air bar, and the dive boats are moored steps away at the end of our private dock. ACTIVITIES: The East End of Grand Cayman is almost entirely surrounded by an offshore barrier reef and the East End coast in many areas is composed of "ironshore." Consequently, there are very few places on the East End that are suitable or safe for shore diving. The offshore barrier reef has formed a natural lagoon in front of Cayman Diving Lodge. Our lagoon features truly world-class snorkeling as abundant life is found among the coral heads and in the natural reef which has formed in and around our dock. Here, you will find families of squid, octopus, lobster, eels, rays, flounder, turtles, tarpon, and nurse sharks have also been seen ... The lagoon is fabulous for macro-photography and shallow day - and especially - night diving. You can use the lagoon with our tanks as often as you like. However, the depth in the lagoon is 6 - 8 feet ... and cannot be considered to be "shore diving" in the traditional sense.
