"When friends opened the Southern Cross Club in 1958, Little Cayman, the smallest of the three islands that make up the British colony, had a population of just three people. Fourteen stilted cottages, painted turquoise, pink, or yellow, some with private porches and outdoor showers, sit on a white-sand, palm-studded beach. Today, the 10-square-mile island still feels deserted, with fewer than 200 permanent residents. Rooms lack WiFi, telephones and TVs (and even locks) but they look out over South Hole Sound, whose seclusion will appeal to nature-loving guests. The main clientele are fishing enthusiasts (bonefish, tarpon) and divers, who come from around the world to experience the thrill of Bloody Bay Wall and dozens of other pristine sites. Dive destinations range from sheer drop-offs, thousands of feet deep (the government limits dives to 110 feet), to shallow coral bowls suitable for novices and snorkelers. The resort dive boat is anchored at a beach pier, and dive operations give snorkelers access to the nearby fringing reef as well."

My wife and I spent 1 week at SCC in mid -January. This was our first time in Little Cayman. Our experience was excellent. The beachfront bungalow was very nice - comfortable bed, good air conditioning, nice deck. We loved the outdoor shower. The staff were all amazing - Jash and Gabriel took great care of us. The entire staff is attentive. The food was also really good. Omelettes for breakfast every day before diving :), different lunch menus, and very good dinners. Finally, the dive staff led by Mike are the best I have dived with. Great briefings - I learned something new each day. Great dive masters and very safe.

Little Cayman is a gem. It's like living on your own private island. At Southern Cross I've felt safe and at peace. The property is well maintained. Our room was spotless as well as the dining room and bar.|I was amazed at the quality of the meals served and the service by the friendly staff. Diving is world class. The dive boats are well maintained and safe. Mike who oversees the highly skilled dive masters has intimate knowledge of 50 dive sights around the island. You get value and quality for what you pay for at Southern Cross Club. I can't wait to return.

Our week with the Southern Cross Club was great. The dive operation is top notch. The accommodations were lovely. All members of the staff were kind and helpful. But where they went above and beyond for me was in catering to my need to eat gluten free. I have never stayed at a resort that was so diligent and kind about helping me with this issue. I was and am so very grateful to the Chef and his team. The food and dining service was FANTASTIC! Thank you all so very, very much!

I visited the Southern Cross Club over New Year's for two weeks and once again was reminded why this is my favorite place in the Caribbean. The resort had a magnificent spread for New Years Eve followed by fireworks! The diving was fantastic with the dive guides working hard to find the things the guests on the boat most wanted to see. The food and beverage was top-notch. They have a new bartender who has elevated the cocktail menu to new levels. I tried many of the new drinks and every one was a winner. (The Blossom Village was probably my favorite.) The rooms are comfortable with a stunning view of the pristine sand and sparkling water. There are kayaks and paddle boards available for use as well as bicycles. Everything about the Southern Cross Club encourages you to set aside your worries and enjoy your time there. If you need a place to unplug and enjoy the beauty of nature, this is it.

The Southern Cross Club in Little Cayman is a true gem. The bungalows are spotless and comfortable, the food is delicious and plentiful, and the kitchen was wonderfully accommodating of my dietary restrictions. And the diving—absolutely out of this world. The sites are stunning, the reef is healthy, and the staff is truly the star of the show. The land team is incredibly warm and helpful. Everyone greets you with a smile and a wave, they learn your name right away, and they make you feel completely welcome and at home. The dive staff here is the most knowledgeable I’ve encountered—and we’ve been diving all over the world. They’re not only friendly, but exceptional guides. I felt completely safe, and the dive briefings were the best we’ve ever had. I learned more on this trip than on any other. They take the time to teach you about the underwater ecosystem in such an engaging, memorable way that my friend and I are already planning to return for a course. The whole staff is really spectacular but special shout out to Anna and Sherri for teaching us so much and taking such good care of us. Southern Cross has cultivated something special—a true community—and from day one, you feel like you’re part of it. We’re leaving today, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.

Review of Southern Cross Club, Little Cayman This was my first visit to Little Cayman, and I was referred to Southern Cross Club by a fellow diver I met in Belize. It turned out to be one of the best recommendations I’ve ever received. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the time we were dropped off, we were treated like royalty. Every detail of our stay was taken care of, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy. We stayed in the honeymoon suite for our anniversary, and the accommodations were second to none. We were welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco and snacks to start our celebration. The waterfront view and pristine sandy beaches were breathtaking-I don’t think I wore shoes for an entire week! The restaurant exceeded expectations, accommodating my wife’s vegetarian diet and my pescatarian preferences. They checked in daily to ensure we were happy with the menu selections, and every meal was outstanding. Jennifer the general manager welcomed us upon arrival and then checked in on us every day to make sure there was nothing at all we needed. We even participated on the Pirate festival on the island with staff who invited us. Do not worry as this bar is like a top bar in Orlando with the very best craft cocktails and wines. Gaby the bartender is the Tom Cruise of the Cayman and he made the very best expresso martini and old fashion my wife and I have ever had. Top shelf liquors and bourbon were all available too. Book this resort if you want a worry free and relaxing vacation with all the action of diving and fishing and snorkeling you would like. The island is very quiet and we navigated the island on bicycles too which I highly recommend as they have some of the most pristine beaches in the world and we snorkeled the reefs right off one of the beaches too.

My stay at the Southern Cross Club was incredible. The staff is top-notch, the food was beyond expectation! The resort is lovely…beautiful sand and beautiful views. The diving was fantastic. But I can’t say enough good things about the dive staff. I hadn’t been diving in over 25 years, and was a bit nervous. The dive team made sure I was comfortable every dive, every day. They operate like a well oiled machine so that you can really enjoy a relaxing experience. Sherri Anna Phillip Edward Abbe and Mike —. You guys ROCK! Thank you thank you!

Stayed here 4-5 times going back to the late 90’s. Peter and staff have always taken great care of me and my fellow travelers. The SCC is also great about supporting environmental efforts throughout the Caymans including support for visiting scientists. Amazing crew!
