We just returned from Paradise Villa and are still wondering why it took us so long to get here. We agree with Sue and Mike (above) - why go anywhere else? The diving was superb. Conch divers were just great. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful...and nice! Sabine & Mark, who run the Villa could not have been nicer. And "The Hungry Iguana" is right next door. We originally were going to eat around for variety, but the food was so good we ate there every night.
Plus we are vegetarian/vegan and they produced delicious meals for us every night.
Rode bikes several days to see other parts of the island - no need for a car.
We really can't wait to go back. Easily the most relaxing and enjoyable dive vacation we have ever had.
Thanks to all of you for your great hospitality!!

We have just returned from our third trip to Little Cayman and have stayed with Paradise Villas. I am looking forward to returning again in May. We dove with Conch Club Divers all three times and couldn't have been happier we find the diving so great we don't want to dive anywhere else.

Emma ,Mark and Sabine all made sure that we had a great time, even though the venue and accommodation would have guaranteed that anyway. We were delighted with the ambience of the place. It?s the ultimate venue both to relax and chill and also to do healthy things like snorkeling, diving, bicycling and drinking rum!
Everyone on the island was really friendly, but certainly the staff at Paradise Villas had adopted the motto 'the answers yes, now what's the question?' We loved the whole experience.

Within a 2 week vacation to Grand Cayman, my husband and I spent a long weekend on Little Cayman at Paradise Villas. Emma was very welcoming, handling bike rentals and answering our myriad questions. The location is gorgeous, airport is tiny and you have no noise to worry about. The villa is spacious, kitchen equipped for breakfast/lunch prep, everything spotless, housekeeping services beyond expectations.

We decided to do a resort course dive. Emma arranged all the details with Conch Club Divers. Matt was a patient and careful instructor. He was someone I instantly trusted and who appropriately guided me through my fears. We had 2 great dives and saw some incredible animals -- beautiful fish, corals, and a sea turtle!

Don't forget to indulge in all the wildlife above the sea: native endangered iguanas (please don't feed them!) and loads of birds you will not see elsewhere. The Cayman Trust building has good observation decks (and delicious ice cream for sale!) as do many other ponds. Hermit/soldiet crabs are right at your feet. If you have study shoes, meander out and peak in the tide pools; lots to see there as well.

My husband and I loved the quiet of Little Cayman -- and the incredible stars at night! Paradise Villas is a great place to enjoy Little Cayman and all it has to offer.

My wife and I had the pleasure of traveling to Little Cayman with friends to stay at the Paradise Villas in early February. What a wonderful place to stay, I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire villa. The rooms where meticulously cleaned each day by a very friendly staff. There was nothing the managers ( Mark and Sabine ) wouldn?t do for you to make your stay the best it could be , thank you so much.

We only had 3 days to spend on Little Cayman, unfortunately. Paradise Villas was very easy to find (just walk from the plane to the front office, then to our room!). The rooms are spacious, very bright and clean, and there's a terrific breeze if you open the front & rear windows or doors! We can't wait to return! Definitely rent bikes, the best way to get around this tiny island!

What could be better than a villa right on the beach? The beach is steps out the door. There are beach chairs and hammocks right there, I was able to relax and read while my husband fished a few feet away. You can walk to the store to stock up your kitchenette and have coffee sitting on the deck that looks out over the ocean. If you'd like to explore the island the resort has bikes available. If you want to rent a motorbike or car you can walk to the rental agency right next door. It's very relaxing, if you're looking for nightlife this may not be your place although they do have happy hour every night at the Hungry Iguana restaurant located on the resort. I can't wait to go back!

We were lucky enough to spend a fantastic week here. The villas are wonderful - beautifully decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The staff are superb, Sabine, Mark and Emma all go out of their way to make you feel most welcome. The on-site restaurant /bar is great and the pool perfect for a refreshing dip. The whole island is very peaceful and relaxed. We cycled right round the island and hardly saw another vehicle.

This was the third trip to Little Cayman and Paradise Villas. Wouldn't stay at any other resort on the island. Paradise Villas is small, quiet and everything in Blossom Village is in walking distance. Bicycles are available if you want to explore the rest of the island (always a good idea); most of the roads are paved and the riding is easy. The rooms are spacious and clean and all are on the ocean with covered porches facing the water. The restaurant is at the resort and the food is excellent. The best part of Paradise Villas is the staff -- some of the nicest people you'll find anywhere. If you want to visit Little Cayman you can't find a better place to stay.

We have stayed at Paradise Villas several years over the December holiday. The staff is so friendly that you can walk up and have a conversation at any hour. At Paradise Villas, the options are all on property with a restaurant/bar, swimming pool, beach with lounge chairs and hammocks, and bikes if you ever want to leave. We went fishing, hiking, snorkeling, and kayaking, but managed to squeeze in a few relaxing days on the beach, too. Paradise Villas is within walking distance to the airport, grocery and liquor store, bank, car rental, and museums. My 18-year-old daughter and 80-year-old mother both enjoyed themselves, so everyone won! Highly recommended for both location and hospitality.
