I am a Caribbean novice (virgin). My only experience with El Caribbe has been through books, movies and stories of lucky travellers.

All this has changed with my amazing week in Little Cayman at Little Cayman Beach Resort. How lucky am I to choose one of the top dive resorts in the world? Extremely lucky.

From the moment the plane touched dopwn on the airstrip - which doubles as a baseball diamond - I knew I was in Paradise. Every member of staff which I encountered had a warm and friendly "hello" and inspired us all to slow down and get on Little Cayman time.

The Caribbean warmth spilled over and in no time I was exalaiming "no worries!!"

The food has been continuous and scrumptious. Individual staff have gone out of their way to provide us with a personalised service, always with a smile and great attitude.

When it was time to dive, our crew - Captain Ron and Dottie - provided us with laughter, experise and lots of jokes! The diving is undescribable in its beauty, filling me with images that will last a lifetime.

From the Resort Manager, Jim Henry, to Carmen, one of many staff, they made our stay so enjoyable and unique that it seemed as though we were now part of the family of Little Cayman Beach Resort.

This vacaction will now be the measure of all future vacations and if any resort or hotel can provide HALF of the service and warmth we received this week, then they are doing well.

Trips and memories like this last a lifetime and whenever I think of LCBR, a smile will come to my face and I will remember the mantra of "no worries!"

Thank you LCBR and Reef Divers for being my first Caribbean experience!
