The Cayman Islands has the Cayman Island Dollar, permanently fixed to the US dollar at CI$ 0.82 to US$ 1.00.   Both US dollars and CI dollars are accepted everywhere, but a surcharge of + or – 2% ($0.80 – $0.84) is used everywhere when converting one way or the other.

Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted at the resort and on island. AmEx is accepted at the resort but not generally accepted on island.

A token gratuity is included in your pre-paid accommodation packages. Gratuity is also automatically added to any drinks purchased from the SCC bar (which are not included in your pre-paid package).  However, if you have enjoyed the service and noticed the hard work of SCC’s staff, additional gratuity is very much appreciated.  You can leave this gratuity at check out to “general staff” or an individual staff member who you feel went above and beyond.

The activity guides do not participate in the resort food and drink gratuity and there are no gratuities included in your prepaid activity packages or added to your activities at check-out.  If you have enjoyed the dedication and hard work of our dive and fish guides, then an in hand (or your can leave it on your bill at check out) gratuity is very much appreciated.  We might recommend one way to determine an appropriate tip for the activity staff is to look at the activities bottom line (how much in total did you spend) and take 15% as a good starting point. You can go up or down from there depending on how much you appreciated their dedication to providing you a superior experience.

All gratuities are greatly appreciated by the staff and can be added to your final bill for you to settle at check-out. Payment can be made with cash, credit or debit card. Envelopes can also be provided for cash gratuities.

Little Cayman does have our own well-supplied medical clinic. In the event of an emergency, the nearest hospital is located on our Sister Island, Cayman Brac.

One of the many special things about Little Cayman is that it is very safe with little to no crime. Most residents of Little Cayman do not lock their house or cars and it is safe to move around the resort property and the island freely – day or night.

The last member of Staff to leave the property at night is our bartender when the bar closes at night (Anytime between 10.30pm – midnight). There is an emergency phone in the clubhouse with emergency contact information that is available for guest use 24 hours a day. Emergency contact information is also provided in all rooms.

While no other restaurants compare to our own at SCC, you might want to check out one of the three other resorts on island or one of the three dedicated bars serving up liquid cheer and good times.

There is a gift shop at SCC, which sells T-shirts and other resort memorabilia. The National Trust gift shop is stocked with locally sourced gifts from the islands and the Seahorse Boutique is also worth a visit. Little Cayman would not however be described as a shopping destination.

As the island offers a relaxed environment, we recommend casual resort attire.

Yes!

We would prefer it if guests put a wrap or cover item on over bathing suits for meal service.

No, topless sunbathing is illegal in the Cayman Islands

We do not allow smoking in the rooms, in vehicles or on the boat. Smoking is permitted in outdoor areas – we ask our smoking guests to be considerate of non-smoking guests and ask them to dispose of their cigarette butts responsibly.

As of Spring, the sargassum problem that is affecting the entire Caribbean basin is only a minor issue.   The Sargassum issue is reportedly going to be bad in 2023.  Eastern Florida and up the Atlantic seaboard has already experienced higher than average levels of the floating algae.   Little Cayman has seen a few influxes of the algae, but nothing horribly bad.   Still, it is an issue worth paying attention to.

We are situated on the South Hole Sound which is a shallow body of water. Although you will not do much swimming or snorkeling right in front of the Club (sand flats and turtle grass), we have some great shallow water snorkeling over on Owen Island, which is about a 5 minute kayak paddle away. Owen Island also offers one of the finest swimming beaches on Little Cayman. For $20, snorkelers can join any of our dive boats headed over to the north shore marine park. This location offers snorkelers an opportunity to view the continental shelf drop off (Bloody Bay Wall) that has been a Holy Grail for scuba divers for over 30 years. You can also arrange for transportation to Point o’ Sand on Little Cayman’s East End, or just ride a bike over to Jackson Bay which is about 2 miles from the Club and offers great North Shore shallow reefs.
