All rooms boast stunning views of the sea, concierge service, and morning pickups for diving, and are located just a short walk from two pristine beaches, a snorkelling entrance point, and a spacious pool complex.

This is one of Grand Cayman’s most laid back and remote resorts, with lodging and dining to suit every travel preference - from couples to families and dive groups. Custom holidays are what this resort is all about, with easy to modify accommodations - sleeping up to seven guests under one roof as well as a la carte meals and options for self-catering, and endless opportunities for self-guided exploration. Plus, this resort’s expert team boast decades of experience on the island, and they’re happy to help plan and prepare every element of your stay - from flights and transfers to rental cars and dives at secret shore-entry sites!

Explore the resort

Compass Point Dive Resort offers a unique opportunity for family and group getaways with plenty of privacy and comfort. Each unit comes complete with facilities for cooking, laundry, and entertainment and includes free use of bicycles and kayaks. The resort’s common areas boast a spacious pool complex, outdoor grills and entertainment areas, two pristine beaches with world-class views, and so much more!

In addition to self-catering, guests can enjoy delicious on-site buffet dining at Eagle Ray’s Bar and Grill - as well as room service - plus numerous restaurants and bars within striking distance. This relaxed waterfront resort also offers close access to many of the East End’s most scenic points of interest, with hiking, beachcombing, and wildlife preserves a few kilometres away. Land and water-based sports, snorkelling, and scuba diving are available each day, in addition to guided tours and optional services like childcare.

Diving at Compass Point

Compass Point’s partner dive centre, Ocean Frontiers, caters only to this resort’s guests, and offers scuba diving, snorkelling, and watersports for all. The dive centre has some of Grand Cayman’s best diving right at its doorstep, with the island’s legendary corals, canyons and sand chutes just minutes offshore. These formations lead to the island’s outer reef, where near-vertical walls plummet to almost 2,000 metres. This well-established operator specialises in concierge service, so no need to carry or wash your equipment. Instead, guests can simply roll out of bed and onto the dive boat, with everything already prepared for up to five stunning dives per day.

Ocean Frontiers prides itself on top-notch facilities for students and leisure divers alike, including private gear lockers, a dedicated training pool and air-conditioned classrooms, and three of the island’s most modern boats. Their passionate and professional team offers PADI courses and underwater guiding for divers of all abilities, combined with professional-quality rental gear, and speciality experiences like lionfish hunting, shark, wreck, and macro diving - meaning you’re guaranteed the scuba holiday of a lifetime.


Top tips

  • Compass Point is one of Grand Cayman’s more remote resorts, meaning a rental car is a must if you want to explore the rest of the island.
  • Take advantage of Compass Point’s free ocean kayaks every day between 7am and 5pm.
  • Pack plenty of sun protection, comfortable walking shoes, and lightweight clothing - you’ll want them for exploring Compass Point and the surrounding coast above water!
  • Ask the Ocean Frontiers team about Grand Cayman’s secret sites for shore diving, some of which are just minutes from the resort.

Conservation

Compass Point Dive Resort is a proud Green Globe certified hotel that supports several island-wide environmental efforts, many of which begin on-site. Current initiatives include a comprehensive recycling programme for aluminium, glass, and PET plastics with collection points in every condo and throughout the property’s common areas. Compass Point is also dedicated to water and energy conservation, asking guests to be mindful of their personal use and installing environmentally-friendly fixtures and appliances wherever possible.

Grand Cayman’s surrounding coral reef ecosystem is under threat, but Compass Point is doing its part to protect it. The resort’s restaurant serves only sustainable seafood, and guests are asked to make responsible choices when dining off-property. The resort also maintains a strict “no touch, no take” policy above and below water and offers detailed environmental briefings before outdoor activities.
