This was our 4th time staying at The Reef, we love it and as soon as we get back home, we are always planning our next trip. The guys at White Sands are awesome!
I decided on the Reef Resort at the East End of Grand Cayman and I'm so glad I did! My husband and I really enjoyed staying at the non-touristy, more remote end of the island. The Reef Resort was lovely and very clean. Every room has an ocean front patio or balcony with a great view. Easy walk to liquor store and mini supermarket. You will need to rent a car but it is so worth it!

The Reef was exactly like the picture on the web. Sometimes pictures on the web look airbrushed but this was not the case. The place was
so very nice especially the room that we stayed in 101A where we just walked out of our room and on to the beach. Loved it!
Although we were aware that the east end is very quite, and as three single women, we rented a car and drove to the 7 mile beach where there was more people and of course, lots more excitement. However,
it was nice to come back to the Reef to relax. But we perferred the 7 mile beach because there were no rocks. The convenience of the grocery store was also an added plus if one would like to cook as there were many amendities to use.
I would recommend the property to anyone who would just like to
relax and not explore the west end where shopping and the Run Point is as it takes about 45 minutes to drive to the west end.
We also liked that there were no hagglers.
Apollo was certaintly a pleasure to meet as his positive attitude and morning carribbean songs gave us the real flavor of the island.
Peace and Love

could not ask for better weather,6 days of sun and no rain.The trip was long because of the ride to the resort about 50-60 minutes from the airport.
Got in and had trouble finding the room plus keys did not work well on the door but finally got in.
A few things were annoying like the safe did not work but they took care of it and keys were replaced to work.
if you are looking for totally peace and quiet this is the place to go,you are away from the crowds on the other side of the island.
the shopping center across the street was great,could buy food,water and snacks and bring back to the room.there was a refrig and microwave in the room which helped.
pool was okay nothing big but relaxing.the ocean was warm but the rocks and seaweed did not help.The beach was kept clean and it was great to be on beach level and open the door and walk out to the beach
to sit and relax.
The price was right for loding but food was a little pricey,try Tukkars for a great meal they will pick you up at the reef if you don't have a car.
Bikes were offered free to ride which was very nice.
would I go again,second time I have been to Grand Cayman and I like the island but would prefer 7 mile beach if you are looking for more than just sitting on the beach and not doing much but getting a suntan.

Room Information
The resort offers 74 extra-spacious oceanfront studios and suites in two and three-story yellow buildings with blue roofs. Each studio and suite features a balcony or patio with a full oceanview. Full housekeeping occurs every three days, with light housekeeping on other days. Ceiling fans provide a cooling alternative to units' air conditioning. Televisions offer U.S. cable channels.

What We'd Change
Rent a car to save money on transportation as the cab's can be very expensive. Also, there is a small grocery store across the street to help save money as eating out for every meal can get pretty pricey.
Why You Should Go
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.

Hotel Description
The Reef is an intimate Four Sun resort located on the quiet side of the island in an exquisite setting, consisting of a mix of studio, one and two bedroom luxury condominiums. All accommodations are beachfront with patios offering magnificent views of the Caribbean and cooling ocean breezes. Never has a resort been more aptly named than "The Reef". Protecting the waters and pristine beach of Colliers Bay, the reef contributes to the beauty of the location in so many ways. It provides the catalyst that creates the kaleidoscope of colors on the waters surface, the muffled symphony of background music as waves roll against it and a beautiful sub-aquatic wonderland. Those that take time out to absorb and experience the sights and sounds will soon become entranced by the sheer beauty that surrounds them.
A 1,600-foot beach provides ample room for sunbathing and there are coral heads right off the beach for snorkeling. One pool complex comprises two rock-lined free-form pools with a children's pool between and an eight-person spa tub. One pool measures 75 feet long and is bordered by a rock waterfall. The other measures 40 feet and features an infinity edge. A second pool complex comprises an 80-foot-long free-form pool and a six-person spa tub.
The Reef features the convenience of on-site services, including a boutique, an Internet Cafe, laundry facilities, and an exercise room. Resort amenities include not only the private and beautiful beach, but also snorkeling, volleyball, jacuzzi, floodlit tennis court, Beach Locker Boutique, and of course the world renowned Ocean Frontiers team as the in-house watersports operator and dive shop.
