Southern Cross Club

Everything was topnotch during our stay, but what we appreciated being everything else was the fault morning greeting and hit hat with Chef Anu, then the lunch chat with the manager, Jen who made sure daily that we were having fun. Our favorite staff member in the restaurant and office was Jash. I love her enthusiasm and kindness. The dive team members were all stellar. I won't name them all, but they were equally professional, knowlegeable, environment conscious, educators on marine life, and helpful in the water and on the boat.

My wife and I spent 7 days at Southern Cross Club and loved it. The service was top notch, amazing staff, great beach, the room was amazing and the balcony views were the best. Little Cayman is a gem to visit! There are tons of reviews here that can go through all the amazing details, but there were a couple points that I want to mention. These aren’t necessarily complaints, but some details I wish I knew in advance. |-As an Avid fly fisherman, the fishing days are short, 3.5 hours. It’s a relatively small fishery and I caught fish each day, but SCC might not be the place for a hardcore fly fisherman. Tarpon Lake was awesome!|- The food at breakfast and lunch were great, dinners’ weren’t the best. The Mexican and Indian nights were a miss. We ate snacks on our porch the one night.|- The bar drinks were very expensive. I know it’s a small island and getting stuff there is expensive, but we got rum and beers from the local market for a fraction of the price than the bar. |Don’t get me wrong, we loved our week At Southern Cross Club, but these are the reasons why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. It’s not perfect, but pretty darn close to perfect.

Like so many reviews of the Southern Cross Club, our stay was perfect. My husband and I stayed in the pink "honeymoon" bungalow and most of the time felt like we were on our own private island. We were seeking a quiet, relaxing vacation with gorgeous views and great service and that's exactly what we found! |We are not divers so during the day, we kayaked, biked, or just relaxed on the beach with a good book. We also spent a large amount of time just marveling at the view outside our bungalow. We enjoyed getting to know other guests over drinks before dinner each night, at the outdoor bar. Many of them had been visiting Southern Cross for a decade or more and we can see why. |The room was super comfortable, the outdoor shower a special treat (we never used the indoor option in our bungalow), the food was great, and most importantly, every person on staff was kind, friendly, and helpful. I have a gluten allergy and was almost embarrassed at the special adjustments that were made to the food selections for me. Even without the special care there would have been plenty of options with the abundance of salads, vegetables, and fruits. We loved the scheduled meal times and between buffet nights and the choices offered for plated meals, you'd have to be an extremely particular eater not to find something you enjoyed. Lunch each day had a great deal of variety too. |It's true there is no wifi in the room but if you choose, you can get cell service without the wifi. We found we didn't care to very often and loved the break from TV that found us getting much more sleep than we usually do. |After dinner each night, we sat out on the beach or on our porch steps just marveling at the stars in the sky. With no light pollution, the amount of stars to see is stunning, especially the eponymous Southern Cross constellation. Honestly, it's worth staying here just for that!

Simply amazing!! We had researched SCC for both the sportfishing and diving several years back while on holiday in GC. We finally had the opportunity to spend a glorious week and loved every minute of it. The sportfishing was off the charts good, highlighted by probably the only kind of it in the world at the Tarpon pond. The dive operation is truly first in class, as is the amazing reef surrounding LC. The entire hospitality staff makes the resort feel like home. We were the only couple staying that were not MULTI-YEAR guests of the resort. That speaks volumes for the experience. The lead Fish Master, Hernan, is unquestionably the most experienced and accommodating that I have fished with from any corner of the globe. We will definitely return again!!!

A wonderful stay. The excellent reviews are well deserved. The resort is beautiful laid back peaceful with staff to a person being so friendly and helpful. Our room, # 2 was spotlessly clean inside yet was on the beach steps from the water. The outdoor private shower was amazing. I never used the indoor one. Meals were so nicely prepared. We loved both the themed nights and ordering off a menu. Omelettes and eggs made to order at breakfast and salads made to order at lunch. Such a nice touch. The head chef and his staff do an amazing job. ||I dove each morning and the dives and dive staff were great. Thanks again Sherri for the splinter first aid assist and oh yeah the eagle rays, sea horse and hammerhead shark were a nice bonus as well. Dive staff like all other staff top notch. ||We travelled with another couple and one was an avid fly fisherman. He fished three days with a resort guide and I think he had a great time especially fishing the tarpon pond. ||This was our first stay at SCC and hope to return.

Had an amazing 2 week experience at the Southern Cross Club last November. The staff are friendly and very welcoming! To say that my visit exceeded expectations is an understatement. I am not a diver but went out to snorkel with friends that were diving. Mike and his dive instructors gave a very detailed explanation of what could be seen on the dive. I must admit that while snorkeling I was able to see almost as much as the divers…. Truly a wonderful experience! The staff is willing to take you to nearby beaches to snorkel and they provided us with a cooler of refreshments. I really enjoyed the “laid back feeling” of the Club. We took time to bike, kayak, lay in the hammocks, soak in the pool, and just relax. You never need to worry about eating as Anu and his staff create marvelous dishes. We can’t wait to return….

I have to admit that I was tempted to give them one star to prevent more people from going here and it becoming too crowded... sadly, that would not be right..... ||We just returned from nine beautiful days there - a great place to be, dive, and hang out. The staff really understands good service and will do everything they can to help you. Three areas to talk about.... ||1) Accommodations - our room was recently renovated and quite lovely. AC worked, the place was clean, the bathroom was nice - everything you need and more. Better than most places we have stayed in the islands, and the US as a matter of fact! | |2) Food - excellent - Anu and his "crew" (pardon the rhyme) do an excellent job with all three meals. There are no easy "sandwich and soup" meals while there - top-notch only with much selection. My only complaint is that there is about 5 more lbs of me due to the quality and quantity of the food! Previously we stayed at Pirate's Point and were amazed by the quality of their food - Southern Cross Club (SCC) is as good, if not better - and the rooms are nicer. ||3) Diving - Diving on Little Cayman is always good. Lots of fish, sharks, critters, etc. The SCC dive group is excellent and there to help as needed. They know the reefs and will show you as many critters and fish as possible. I never knew that Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" is a perfect entry song to play as you go in - thanks Mike for that curse... I mean experience!!!||Overall, a great place. Highly recommended. We have stayed at all three of the places there on LC - SCC is, by far, the best in our opinion.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Southern Cross Club. Our accommodations were cozy and comfortable with very good food for the most part. The best part was the dive operation and divemaster Mike. It really is a top-notch dive operation! Mike's briefings were outstanding and diving with him was outstanding.
