Insider tip: One of the world's most unique diving spots, Stingray City is a "must see" for any Grand Cayman visitor. Located in the shallow waters of the northwest corner of Cayman's North Sound, the "City" is actually a string of sand bars where a colony of stingrays congregates. Humans can safely feed, swim, and interact with the creatures. Tours can be arranged through the resort.

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.
