My wife and I visited the Sunset House hotel the first week of March, 2008. This was our first trip after receiving our PADI divers certifications. We are more accustomed to staying at large resorts like the Palace in Cozumel, MX. However, we choose the Sunset House because we wanted to spend much of our vacation time diving.
The hotel is very well equipped for divers. There are plenty of good sized lockers. The dive center, gear cleaning stations, lockers, boat dock, tanks, and sore dive entry points are all locate near each other. The dive staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Every morning we set out on a two tank boat dive. They try and keep the same groups of people together on the different boats. This let everyone see different dive sights and helped us to make friends. We never visited the same dive sight twice. We had lunches and dinners with other hotel guests we met on the boat. We took one afternoon to go diving at Stingray City, which was a lot of fun.
The shore diving was a great way for us to practice our diving skills and a nice place to go diving. Shore diving at the Sunset House is very easy. During the day, there are always tanks available a short walk from the entry point. For night diving, we put tanks in our lockers.
We enjoyed the food at the hotel, which is not always easy for vegetarians. The beds were comfortable for hotel beds. The room did not come with an iron, in room safe, or hair dryer. The room did have a small refrigerator and a TV. The had safe deposit boxes at the lobby and a computer with internet access. The overall atmosphere was positive and the hotel grounds and Grand Cayman in general were very clean. George Town is about a 15-20 minute walk. There were plenty of places where there was no sidewalk and we were sharing the road with traffic. I think it is reasonably safe to make the walk during the day but we took a taxi at night. We ate at Bacchus Restaurant & Wine Bar and really loved it. Most of the shops in George Town closed around 5:00 or 6:00 pm. We did not try going into town while the cruise ships were at port. Hell was only good for a quick photo. The turtle farm is a good place to see captive green sea turtles but we enjoyed seeing turtles while diving more.
Our vacation at the Sunset House was excellent. I look forward to visiting again.
