Another great dive holiday at the paradise villas

Review of Paradise Villas
Reviewed Jan 21, 2024via mobile
Another great stay at the relaxing island of Little Cayman. We loved this place the first time we visited pre pandemic and have been back every few years since then. The villas are very well equipped, comfortable and charming. With views of the ocean, sea breezes and all you need to get away from winter elsewhere. Perfect for a short or longer visit and close to the islands grocery store and airport. The associated dive school and restaurant make for the best of a dive holiday. Doug leads a great diving team (Little Cayman Divers) and the Hungry Iguana serves a delicious lunch and dinner with appropriate fresh food (meat, fish and veg in various guises), a good drinks list and some deserts too. Mark and Sabine are the loveliest friendly and helpful managers (from first meeting to saying goodbye which is always so hard..)
It’s not a cheap holiday but from the minute you arrive to the last moment, it’s the best for R&R, fresh air, excercise and total get away. Thank you so much..we hope to come again. Virginia and Andy.

We absolutely loved Paradise Villas! Units are perfectly stocked, very comfy and the property is lovely. We were a party of 3. Sabine and Mark are terrific hosts, making sure you have everything you need, including use of bikes to go exploring. Any grocery, beverage needs are very close by. Definitely plan to return.

We feel that Little Cayman is our home away from home. We had previously stayed at another resort that has been sold and closed. So sad.

However, as they say we not only had lemonade out of lemons but lemon drop martinis.

Sabine and Mark are the perfect hosts.

Paradise is literally within walking distance of the airport and liquor store and market and if you rent a car gas station. I being disabled, Mark picked me up (literally) at the airport made sure our room was nice and cool on arrival. Sabine who is so caring made sure all our needs were met.

The Villas which are 1 to 12. 12 is closest to pool. They ALL have the following amenities.

Refrigerator. Big enough to fit beer, wine, leftovers, fruit, drinks. They supply water bottles.
Coffee maker and packaged coffee pods. If you want to bring your own, you can I found Paradise supplied filters.
hot plate and fry pan
4 slice toaster
A very important tool. Wine opener
Hair Dryer
Shampoo, conditioner soap etc..

Plenty of hot water so never fear

The Hungry Iguana is right next door which we frequently ordered take out from or went for dinner.

We are friends with the owners of Seahorse Boutique so we had food delivered from their establishment which I will review separately.

We also went scuba diving which Paradise Villas is associated with Little Cayman Divers. All located on the same building. Doug who ran the dive operations was perfect.

He picked up the divers at 7am did a 2 tank dive. He had them back for lunch. I unfortunately perforated my ear drum ( totally my fault) on the first dive. Doug was so accommodating. He and his dive staff. Grace and David would take me to the doctor and help me in anyway possible. I owe them all a tremendous thank you.

I also wanted to mention Vaneta, she was our housekeeper for two weeks. After the divers left for the day, not much for me to do but read and wait for Vaneta to come and clean. Thank you so much for keeping me company for the short time you were there.

We do plan on returning to the island. We are hoping things will heal up sooner rather than later.

Just a note to those who have never been to island. It is a small island. You fly into Grand Cayman and then take a small plan to Little Cayman.

Make sure you have enough time for your connections. My husband and I did, our friends dive equipment did not make it till the next day. This applies for both ways.

We were due to return on the afternoon flight from Little Cayman but we would not have made our connection in Grand to come home.

If your expecting crazy nightlife your not going to get it here. Little Cayman is quiet slice of heaven. We love this island and the people who live there.

Nemo loves you all

Room tip: We stayed in room 11. Close to pool and Hungry Iguana. Ask Sabine and tell her what you want and she will put you in the right room.

Just finishing another great stay at paradise villas. Still enjoying the salt breeze on the deck, listening to the surf and taking in the great ocean view with frigates fishing in the surf.
A manager at one of the nearby resorts where we’ve previously stayed, just shared, if she were visiting little cayman, paradise villas is where she’d stay. Exactly low key, everything you need and fun!
Food at Iggys snd Gay’s seahorse cafe is hard to beat. Diving with Little Cayman divers was lovely.
We’ll be back.

We enjoyed our one week stay at Paradise Villas. The cottages are right on the beach, large front porches with chairs & tables. Lounge chairs & hammocks on the beach. Swimming pool & hot tub at the end of the cottages right beside the Hungry Iguana restaurant. Marc & Sabine are so friendly & accommodating, helpful with everything. We rented a car from Little Cayman Car Rentals & dove with Little Cayman Divers, all located in the same office building as Paradise Villas. The cottages are clean, comfortable, fully-equipped with coffee maker, tea kettle, hot plates, fridge, microwave, dishes, silverware, pots & pans. Great air-conditioning. The beautiful, big king-size bed was a dream! Thanks Marc & Sabine for a great stay!
