We have found the beginning of why so many people love Sunset House, Grand Cayman's Hotel for Divers, by Divers. This family owned resort is more of a big guest house, than a hotel. Everything you have dreamed for a Caribbean Dive Vacation is here! From palm trees to an amazing house reef; 5 custom dive boats, to a famous underwater photographer; amazing Caribbean concoctions and spicy Indian dishes; they all await you! And combined with warm Caymanian hospitality, you'll wonder why you waited so long to visit this oasis, or why you haven't come back sooner. The Cayman Islands and Sunset House are a diver's paradise, with crystal-clear waters awaiting your arrival. Come to Sunset House today and experience what others have seen for over the last 60 years. An underwater photographer's perfect dive. Shipwrecks, curious eels, stingrays and a legendary mermaid await you just steps from your room! A perfect place for your scuba diving or snorkeling vacation!

Exactly what Lara said. However there was one day where the water’s surge was too rough at the dock for the boat to park. So the hotel’s shuttles drove our dive group to another dock a few minutes down the road from the hotel.

Is there good snorkeling from the hotel? Thinking about coming down to MyBar for sunset with snorkel 4.

Easy entry and exit... There are some good things to see the farther you go out.

I imagine you can see the cruise ships from the resort. Are they are eyesore?
Answer from George B
Kanab, Utah11 contributions2 helpful votes
The ships dock a few miles away. Depending on the day of week and time of the year dictates the number. It's not too bad. The wife and I started diving Cayman 33 years ago, long before the ships first started coming. So we see the impact of things. On good thing is that the ships leave around 4-5pm.

I’ve stayed in 402 - a suite that has an ocean view - the patio isn’t too private but has steps out to the lawn. Your best bet is to call Kim P. Directly at (345)- 949-7111. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating and will give you the option that best meets your preference. I stayed in the upstairs “apartment” in March. Much more private balcony and a very nice view Can’t remember the room numbers in that block. There is also a downstairs apartment that has King Bed - I have booked that for a week in March 2020. If not mistaken it is the only room in the resort that has a king bed. The rate for the apartments are a little higher, but they are equipped with a complete kitchen including a full size refrigerator. We offset the additional cost of the room by stocking up at the grocery and adult beverage store. The airport shuttle will happily swing by these on your way to the resort (gratuity recommended). Just know that if your arrival date is Sunday the stores are closed. Learned that on our second trip. VERY friendly staff and an AWESOME dive operation!! Easy access to “downtown” walk or taxi. Already looking forward to my third stay at Sunset House

Are locks provided for lockers or do we bring our own locks?
Answer from Lisa P

Locks are provided. They'll assign you a locker and give you a lock at the dive shack on site.

"Ask about any other dive trip such as the Kittiwake. Even if the dive board is full, ask, they try to accommodate. "

"We choose an ocean view room and it was worth the extra cost—the garden view balconies seemed less private."
