The Reef Reservations FAQ

Have a Specific Question?
Please email us at rentals@thereef.com

All of our units are not just oceanfront, but beachfront. Beware of other resorts offering "oceanview", "garden view" and "island view" rooms, these are all just ways of saying "your room isn't on the beach ! At The Reef, you are guaranteed a beachfront suite.

We cannot confirm reservations for specific rooms or even specific floors within the resort, although we do encourage you to make such requests and we will try to honour them if at all possible.

In fact, the only way to be guaranteed a specific suite is to become a Member , feel free to click on the link to find out more about About Membership.

The Reef Resort faces North East, so whilst the sun lights up the resort early in the morning, by early afternoon all of our patios are in the shade, giving our guests the option of basking in the sun in our beach chairs on our spacious beach, or relaxing in the shade as the cooling breeze from the Caribbean wafts over them.

New for 2007, we have added thatched palm shade “palapas” close to our beach bar, so providing extra shade on the beach for our guests without blocking the view from our all beachfront suites.

Our Studio Suites are ideal, from the double Jacuzzi tub to the four post bed overlooking the Caribbean. Plenty of beach for those sunset walks and lots of romantic oceanfront restaurants to visit.

We do have suites specifically set up for disabled access. In addition, all our units are accessible via elevators.

Hey, you're on vacation ! But seriously, yes of course, Thirsty Surfer offers internet access, including rental of wireless cards!

We most definitely recommend renting a car. The Reef is located at the quiet and tranquil end of Grand Cayman island, so although we enjoy an idyllic location, taxis are not readily available and things are too spread out to be in walking distance.

In addition, rental car rates in Cayman are the least expensive in the Caribbean, and with quiet roads and friendly people, a rental car is your own self-guided key to discovering the real Cayman. Please visit our page on Car Rentals for more information.

No problem, see our Map and Directions page.

Under local regulations resorts are not permitted to offer airport shuttle services. You can take a taxi from the airport, but cost is based per person so this can be expensive. Against this, car rentals in Cayman are the least expensive in the Caribbean, hence we recommend renting a car.
