The room shown in the pictures and the surrounding property was exactly what we experienced. The private beach right off our patio and the views were awesome and relaxing! This is a very quiet, less touristy area on the East End, which is exactly what we were looking for. However, you are only about 45 minutes from the popular tourist locations, like 7 Mile Beach, if you choose to spend some time there. The local food in the area, including Eagle Rays onsite, was very good. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Compass point always delivers! Good comfortable stay and service with on-site dive operator ocean frontiers. Diving has world class service. The condo hotel itself is basic but clean and in a beautiful setting.

The property is located in a very safe and beautiful area of the Cayman Islands. The restaurant onsite was great, staff all around the resort was super helpful and very friendly. Ajay (sorry if I mispelled) was so nice and friendly, Clara was amazing, Evan provided great customer service - Sergi and Ben who took us to the Singray sandbar adventure, were great! Highly recommend staying at compass point. You'll need to rent a car if you want to tour around the island. This place, ammenities, cleanliness, and staff were fantastic!

Property was away from the “touristy” area of the island. Property is terribly outdated. The pictures on the website CERTAINLY do NOT match what you see there. Virtually NO BEACH to speak of.

Great Staff! Little off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. Nice and quiet with easy access to diving. Boat rides are pretty short and the snorkeling trip (3 sites) was nice. Couple tips: Try Taco for dinner (Tues / Thurs are BOGO) Snorkeling down the road at the dock at Morrit's has some nice fish and really large tarpon (5ft plus)

The hotel was spacious, extremely clean, great kitchen, very quiet. Great restaurants right there as well. The Ocean Frontiers team was fabulous. My daughter and I have never been snorkeling, and we were both very nervous. Even though I think the staff are used to more experienced divers and snorkelers, they were so accommodating, professional and friendly we were comfortable enough to try it out and had a fabulous time.

Comfortable and relaxing
Although we are not scuba divers, we loved this dive resort in the less populated East End. The accommodations are comfortable, furnished with everything you need (full kitchen, washer and dryer, etc.), and the front desk staff patiently answer questions and register you for snorkeling and other trips. The large lagoon is beautiful and has several reef sites. A small open-air restaurant has very good food and service and couldn’t be more convenient. You can’t take long walks along the beach here and there is not a swimmable beach in front, but there are sandy areas at the edge of the water for relaxing in hammocks and loungers. We had an ocean front unit and a wonderful view of the ocean. All in all, comfortable and relaxing, with opportunities for various trips by boat.

Awesome Dive Resort!
Compass Point Dive Resort surpassed my expectations. It was super clean, modern with very comfortable beds. Pool and hot tub were in excellent condition. Family dive vacation. Full kitchen. We enjoyed eating breakfast in the condo, then walking to our dive boat. All our dive equipment was set up and waiting for us. Ocean Frontiers did an excellent job. We had a few 20 mph windy days. Their custom dive boats 48' long, 16' beam handled the seas very well and we enjoyed the diving every day! Service was excellent. Will definitely recommend Compass Point/Ocean Frontiers to friends and family!!

For the serious Diver. Ocean Frontier Divers is on site and EXCELLENT. We received our certification there and spent the rest of the week diving. We had a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment which truly made us feel right at home. There were also 2 Murphy beds. It was so nice after hours of diving to come home and have plenty of room to relax. So much better than a Hotel room. | Grocery store was just down the road. It is on the East end of Grand Cayman so If you want to be able to walk out of your room and into the water for snorkeling, probably best to stay at 7 Mile Beach. This is a rugged, rocky coastline but we LOVED it . It was so peaceful and a bit secluded. but yet close to so many things. Loved the hammocks next to the water. so relaxing. RENT A CAR for easy get around. Close to The Blowholes, Bodden Town, and several miles but easy travel to Rum Point where you will enjoy great snorkeling, eating, and where different tours leave from, including Stingray City. There is a restaurant on site that has some really great food! All the staff is excellent and so very helpful. What a wonderful relaxing time we had. Will definitely be back.

As long as you don’t expect a swimming beach, Compass Point is truly a friendly, relaxing place with super courteous staff and wonderfully well maintained condo-style rooms. If you’re a diver, this place and Ocean Frontiers (their on-site dive operator) is wonderful concierge style diving. They will spoil you!

The property is located in a quiet part of the island. Beautiful snorkel and diving locations. Great food on site and also had several great restaurants close. Only thing that took getting used to was the weeds blowing in, west side of the island would was clear of weeds but we preferred the east side ocean topography. The occasional smell was worth the view.
