Grand Cayman Dive Resort
Ocean Cabanas
Nestled into the beautiful West Bay shoreline, our seven cabanas were designed from the ground up to meet the needs of divers and non-divers on their surface time. Our Grand Cayman dive resort is the perfect place to relax and recharge while enjoying your time above water. Each cabana offers condo-style accommodations with a resort feel, including a full kitchen, en-suite bathroom, separate living area, and large outdoor space. Opened in February 2022, our modern yet thoughtfully designed retreat brings a classic Caribbean feel with hints of Cayman’s original charm.
Perched on Grand Cayman’s iron shore, our property offers the best ocean views and an undeniable sense of the Caribbean Sea in every corner. Spend your days snorkeling or shore diving just steps from your cabana, then watch the sun dip perfectly into the water at dusk. Located in West Bay, we are away from the high-rise hotels but close to some of the island’s best restaurants. Need ideas for your stay? Our concierge approach ensures you get the most out of your time here. From the moment you check in, you’ll feel at home in our little piece of paradise.

May 2024I hesitate to spread the word about this fabulous place, but as a parent with 3 adult children, I know how hard it is to find a place that pleases everyone. You won’t regret booking at the Ocean Cabanas.
We stayed in the Nassau Grouper cabana (3BR/3BA) in May, 2024. We are a family of 5 (including 3 kids-- 25, 22, 20) who are all SCUBA-certified. We had a 5*star experience at the cabanas.
Things we loved: See More
- Stylish, modern interior
- Fully (and I mean FULLY) equipped kitchen, including cooking oil, vinegar, spices, cleaning products, paper towels and more
- We ordered groceries in advance from Fosters, arranging delivery with Liz, and the staff put our frozen and refrigerated items in the refrigerator for us before we arrived. WOW!!
- Extremely comfortable beds and super-clean bathrooms. On the flight home, my husband said, “this is the first time that I’m coming home from a vacation and NOT saying that I missed my bed.”
- The outdoor amenities, including the outdoor shower and hammock. The cabana had a huge number of beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler and even insulated tumblers for your drinks! We had a huge area outside to rinse and hang our wet clothes and SCUBA gear, which is fantastic when diving multiple days during the week.
- Full-sized gas grill (nothing like hamburgers after a morning dive)
- Full-sized washer & dryer with detergent provided. Going home with a suitcase of clean clothes: #priceless
- My sons rave about the massive, modern flat-screen TV in the living room. We brought our own games, but there were playing cards and Monopoly in our cabana. There were also dive reference books so that we could identify all of the underwater life that we saw during our dives.
- The WIFI was speedy for those who need to check in at the office.
Things to know:
- The pool, while quite small, has a gorgeous view of the water, particularly at sunset. We loved meeting up with the other guests (shout out to “Scubabro Jeremy” & the clarinet-playing doctor as well as Paul & Maria)
- I do recommend having a rental car so that you can enjoy the restaurants and activities in the 7-mile beach area. However, it’s not an absolute requirement, especially if you order groceries. We ate breakfast and lunch at the cabana and ate out about half the weeknights.
- A storm knocked out the dive shop next door. However, if you have hard-soled SCUBA boots and move very carefully in the sharp rocky area, the best snorkeling that we experienced was right outside the resort.
We all loved the Nassau Grouper cabana and will definitely book there again when we return to Grand Cayman. See Less

April 2024Wow! We just returned from a family trip to Cayman, this was my fourth trip to GCM, and our stay with Ocean Cabanas was one of the best so far. Liz & Gary have thought of everything a diver could need, and also everything you could want for exploring the beaches on non-dive days. The location is beautiful and quiet, far enough away from the Cruise ship traffic. The accommodations are clean, well stocked, and just beautifully furnished. The diving with Living the Dream was perfect. The staff is lovely and so helpful. When weather caused us to change some of our plans, Liz was so helpful in advising us on alternative things to do with our kids. We will definitely stay & dive with them again when we return!

December 2023My dive partner, my mom and I just returned home from staying at Ocean Cabanas. Our stay there was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. When I say they have everything a diver could need, I mean it. Check in was a breeze, the staff there is the kindest, happiest and most accommodating staff we’ve ever seen. Everyone was always smiling and nice. It’s completely safe, they even have a night guard who is constantly around in case you have any questions. TMy dive partner and I were looking for a place that would accommodate our dive needs and since my mom doesn’t dive she was looking for a place where she could relax, sit in the sun and take a dip in the pool. Boy did we find the perfect fit for all of us. See More The grounds are stunning, there’s a beautiful tiki at the entrance to sit and read a book or catch up with friends, the saltwater pool has the most amazing views, there’s little areas overlooking the ocean to sit and relax, outdoor showers for to use and a free foot pedal sunblock station. They provide an area to wash off your dive equipment and an area to borrow free dive weights if need be for shore diving. We stayed in Sea Fan which is oceanfront first floor 2 bedroom. Before we even entered the unit, we noticed each unit had a whole private area devoted to hanging up any wet dive equipment so you didn’t even have to bring anything inside. When we entered, the tv’s were turned on to underwater footage with nice calming music. When I say this place is fully stocked it is. Just hit the grocery store and the liquor store which is just a quick 5 min drive away and you’re good to go! Our unit had a fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs (which were amazing to take to 7 mile for the fireworks spectacular on New Years), cleaning products, bath towels and a wonderful welcome note with our dive pick up schedule (the owners own Living The Dream Diving) and a book full of useful local information on everything you could possibly need. If we had any questions regarding anything, the owner, Liz, was always so quick to respond in email. I have no clue how she runs the dive company and the cabanas so efficiently with so many moving parts but she does it perfectly, she’s amazing. Literally next door is an adorable little restaurant called Vivo and they have their own dive shop to do shore diving at Lighthouse Point. Ocean Cabanas works hand and hand with the dive shop next door and offers a complimentary tank of air/Nitrox to go shore diving with them, I thought that was such bonus on top of everything else that was so wonderful with this resort. The beach is just a quick 3 min drive down the road. It’s a great location, you cannot beat the service, if your diving the valet pickup and drop off are first class, the grounds are well manicured, the units are absolutely beautiful and the views are stunning. What else could you ask for? Book it! See Less
