“I Can't Imagine It Gets Better Than This!”

4/4 found this review helpful

I don't have a ton of experience staying at dive resorts (or diving, for that matter), but I can't imagine it gets much better than Compass Point/Ocean Frontiers. We stayed in a one bedroom condo. It was roomy enough for two (four could stay, but that would be too crowded for my taste), had the basic necessities of a self-catering condo and a view to die for. All units in the resort have ocean front balconies. When I wasn't diving, I was parked on the balcony staring at the beautiful carribean sea. The beach in front of the resort was not the greatest, but several public beach options were nearby (not that we had time for that). Dining choices were more limited than the "busy" side of the island, but there were certainly more than enough for us since we do quite a bit of eating in (there was a grocery store about 5 minutes away that was small, but had the basics).

The on-site dive operator was first class. They set up your gear, rinsed it and stored it. Want to do a shore dive? No problem, just grab your gear out of their locker and proceed to one of the numerous shore diving spots on the island (you will need to rent a car if you stay here - drive on the left!). The staff was super friendly and made things fun. Diving on the east end of the island offered more dive sites (both wall and reef) than you could visit in weeks.

The east end is the quiet side of the island. We took a drive to 7MB and Georgetown and we were so glad not to be staying over there. It may as well been Florida.

Spoiled! I am so spoiled now. We arrived...they whisked our gear to their area to go on the boat in the morning. When we loaded onto the boat, our gear was setup on the tanks, etc. Diving in GC is PHOENOMINAL... we took our BCs off and they put them on our second tanks. After the dive, we took our gear off, placed it into a crate with our names attached to them; and they brought it back to their gear area. They then rinsed and hung to dry and had it ready the next day....where they did the same thing: setup the gear, etc. All of the dives had the option of being guided (which I fully recommend ...to see all of the hidden treasures and swim throughs, etc). The staff was great... the condo was perfect.. All of the amenities were there to be able to cook good meals...including a recipe book! The tubs have jets in case you wish to have a hot tub...
Only complaint: we went there when the were replacing their dock. It was noisy during the day with the construction. We couldn't really take advantage of the beach. But we spent so much time under water...we were too exhausted to care too much about that anyway. This was just a timing thing. This would not be the case 2 months from now.
I would stay nowhere else in Grand Cayman. Its in a remote part of the island, which gives you a more 'local' feel. We drove into Georgetown and we fully confirmed that we made the right choice. Georgetown is hustle and bustle with HUGE hotel after HUGE hotel. Just another ugly city. Where Compass Point is located, there is nothing around except for beautiful foliage and small restaurants.

4/5 found this review helpful

Everyone at Ocean Frontiers Diving was professional and friendly. They took care of everything and were genuinely concerned about our satisfaction and safety. The condo was perfect in everyway, fully equipped and all systems worked. The only issue was the "housekeeper" who literally only wiped the kitchen counter and made the beds...nothing else! She didn't even load the diswasher or clean any other table top, ie: dining table, coffee table, bathroom counters.......although it was clearly stated on the little card on the counter, she still could have done more than the very minimal effort she put out. Aside from this very minor item, everyone was helpful and genuine. I'd reccomend them without question.

Just returned from seven night six day dive trip and can positively say that it doesn't get any better. We had terrific time. Condo at Compass Point was great. The dive staff at Ocean Frontiers were totally professional and knowledgeable. Safety of divers was totally addressed. Will definitedly be looking forward to returning.

There is absolutely no downside to this property or the dive experience. I was here for five days before going to LC to dive. When I travel I tend to keep my expectations low and my hopes high. I can say that I had one of the best times of my travel life. I don't usually return to the same place as there are so many sites to see, but in the case of Compass Point/Ocean Frontiers, I will go back and drag all my dive friends with me. The diving was spectacular from the walls to hovering over the reefs. The crew was so fun and helpful. The accomodations were perfect. The balconies open onto the water so you can watch the boats loading in the morning and just walk down and jump on. Very few transactions take place....time away from hustle. People were here to dive, leaving the buffets and bowls to the other side of the island. You have wheels if you book the room and diving as a package so you are mobile if you want to explore.
