It’s Pirates Week again and the Reef Resort is ready.
Grab your hat & sword and join our excursions to the East End, North Side and George Town District Days.
Cayman is full of history and guests can learn the fine art of rope making, thatching, fire pan smoking, coconut oil making and how to knit a fish net. There will be exhibits on how Cayman used to be - in the days when the only way you could get from East End to George Town was by Donkey or Mule on a dirt road!
Of course the best part of any district day in my opinion, is the food, East End heavy cake, fry fish and fritters, fish tea, mango jam and guava jelly, rice and peas, festival bread and of course jerk chicken, just to name a few. Often cooked by women older than your grandma who know how food should taste. Just writing about it makes my mouth water. After dark the music starts and the dancing begins, and boy can the locals dance, and of course there will be Pirates everywhere, because when it comes to drinking and dancing Pirates know how to have fun.
So join us, wear a pirate costume and prepare to have fun.

When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween.

Perhaps one of the Cayman Islands most famous export is the Barefoot Man’s music! Widely renowned for his daring lyrics, Barefoot is the biggest B to hit the island since Blackbeard and no visit to the island is complete without taking in Barefoot and his band.
Barefoot plays exclusively at theReef every Tuesday and some Thursdays. His full schedule can be found at http://www.thereef.com/en/thingsToDo/entertainmentSchedule.html
You can email Barefoot at: GoneFishing@Barefootman.com

Recently, Nate and Alicia were a part of this picture and loved their wedding so much they couldn’t wait to tell us how much they enjoyed it!
“Alicia and I are still talking about our wedding, our guests loved it so much. People that went to visit the other side of the island were so happy we selected the reef as our wedding location. Your resort was so beautiful, and peaceful. Please show this letter to everyone that worked there, even the guys that ran the water sports. We had a blast. Your staff is wonderful. People looking at the pictures were amazed!!!!”

Well I have just under 2 weeks left on this gorgeous island before I have to go home (to Scotland) and start work on my dissertation for university! But before i leave, it is my mission to help theReef become GREEN! TheReef is currently working on reducing our waste and recycling wherever possible.
We have a whole list of GREEN stuff which we do right now but we have never shared this with you until now!
Our GREEN practices:
- towel re-use programme
- sensors which turn off the A/C in rooms when patio doors are left open
- salt water chlorination of our pools instead of using harsh chemicals
- we have a biological sewage treatment plant instead of using a traditional septic tank to treat waste
- our detergents are carefully chosen to help minimise the impact on the environment
We are looking at lots of new ways to help minimise our environmental impact, and any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated!!!!
