Great Family Christmas & New Years
Our family of four (kids ages 15 and 12) spent two weeks over Christmas and New Year's 2025 at Cayman Reef Resort (CRR). We wanted a centrally located two-bedroom condo on SMB within walking distance of restaurants and shops, but holiday prices made us adjust our expectations. Initially hesitant about CRR due to reviews about beach erosion, we chose Kathy’s unit because it was the most affordable option available. We loved the location to Fosters grocery and Camana Bay for NYE fireworks, people watching, dinner & treats, cinema).Kathy was fantastic, providing prompt, helpful communication from booking to check-out. She was upfront about the beach erosion and that the condo might be tight for a family of four. When we had a minor TV issue, Kathy had the manager resolve it the next day.The condo was clean and well-stocked, with a fully equipped kitchen (coffee maker, blender, etc.), linens, and starter supplies. Beach gear included chairs, an umbrella, towels, and toys like a boogie board. The beach in front of CRR exceeded expectations—about 75% of the time, there was at least 15 feet of sand to enjoy.The condo is a bit dated but maintained, and the price reflects this. Downsides included some mold in the shower caulking, a stiff patio door, and a grill that could turn on if bumped (unplug it when not in use). A small vacuum would have been helpful for managing sand.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. CRR is in a great location, and Kathy is an exceptional host!
