Well look who’s dancing now! We snapped Jonette and Gary from California (staying at The Reef this week) enjoying a smooch on the patio at Castro’s Hideaway. Who said romance isn’t alive in 2005?! (We’ve got a habit of bringing that out in people).
Cows in the mooood for an adventure on the loose this morning outside The Reef Resort. As you can see the farmer in his truck was already on the case by the time the camera was ready for this shot, but the ladies were milking it for all it was worth ; )
Activities begin today from the new Ecoventures Beach Hut (situated at the far right of the beach heading from your condo). The Ecoventures staff (left to right: Joey, Dave and Steve) spent Maintenance Week refurbishing and re-roofing ‘Eco-hut’ ready for the winter season. Joey took time to give us an insight into the fine art [...]
Let’s see….Staff? Check…. Music? Check…. Bar? Check….That would mean the Staff Appreciation Day party has already started! Activities Director Leona is doing what she does best, heading up the action as M.C. “Anybody know how long this guy’s been working here?” Hard to step out of the role I guess…someone is soon making the unexpected [...]
A very busy maintenance week 2005 at The Reef comes to an end. Most of our staff members plus an additional group of cleaners were busy deep cleaning all the units, the restaurant & beach bar, painting the interior and exterior of the resort, servicing all electrical appliances and lots more. Also, some of us [...]
We have received several emails from concerned friends owners of The Reef, so we want to let you all know that Hurricane Rita passed several hundred miles to the North of Grand Cayman so had no direct impact on us apart from little rain early this morning. We are, however, thinking of all of our [...]
Maintenance Week work continues as Sheila Wilson, one of our gardening team, tends to the brightly colored plants near the entrance to the Thirsty Surfer. After a week of hard work cleaning, scrubbing and polishing things up, tomorrow is Staff Appreciation Day. So companies from around the island have donated prizes for the staff to [...]
While the staff have a break for lunch we thought you’d like to see what they’ve been up to on the first morning of Maintenance Week. Representatives from all sections of the staff can now confidently say that they can help in an emergency. While he may look like he’s enjoying the rest, and the [...]
We’re closed this week for annual maintenance. The whole resort is getting a deep clean and annual maintenance on all systems. Today we are also having a number of staff taking a first aid certification course, as part of a first aid plan that includes an AED. The only department that is operating as usual [...]
Last Friday we said a sad farewell to Linera Grant, who has been a familiar face behind the front desk since shortly after we opened our doors in May 2000. From a shy young school leaver, she has matured into a confident, able and highly professional young woman who we were proud to have be [...]
Update on Sep 14th… this morning the third floor slab is being poured… we should see the roof taking shape in a few weeks ! Per a request from caribbeansun, I braved the 90 degree heat at 10am this morning to take this picture of construction progress on the current phase of Castaways’ Cove. As [...]
Ok, this one is just for fun. I do look on most of these industry awards as being pretty spurious, but when I see people making mileage out of winning a “World Travel Award” as a top hotel, then go to the website and see that nominations are based on the voting the previous year, [...]

Well, today we have some great news. We have expanded our team [...]
I have visited New Orleans on numerous occasions, and always felt that people from that city have the strongest identification with their home city of any city I have visited in the US. The following letter reflects this very well… a) they love their city, b) they are resilient, so c) they will be back… [...]
