Cobalt Coast Resort and Suites
Finds
Fans of this resort
liken it to a contemporar y B&B wher e most clients ar e deeply
involved with diving. I t's one of the best r esorts for divers on Grand
Cayman, thanks to the on-site, full-service dive operation (
Divetech,
p. 109), and a deep dr op-off (the North Wall), a shor t distance off-
shore, that's loaded with marine life. You have to drive through Hell
(p. 123) to get ther e, though. Don't expect a sand beach: The coast-
line on this part of the island is infamously composed of jagged rocks,
and swimmers use a series of ladders and metal steps to lo wer them-
selves into the surf. Even the diving boats have to moor at the end of
an extensive pier to av oid damage. R ooms include oceanfr ont suites
and standard rooms, which are all spacious, modern, cozy, and sooth-
ing, with M arimekko fabrics fr om Finland and E uropean plumbing
fixtures. O n-site is a w ell-managed, w ell-run r estaurant,
