Le Soleil d'Or CaymanBrac

Review based on a stay in May 2024 Summary 4.9/5: If you want luxury, amazing farm to table food, and a staff that focuses on your comfort and happiness, I highly recommend Le Soleil D'Or. Room 4.5/5: My wife and I stayed in the Cherry Lime room and it was almost perfect. The room and bathroom are huge, and you have an amazing wrap around balcony with a view of the ocean on one side and the the large limestone cliff on the other. They also provide a shared kitchen with bottled water in the refrigerator and a shared bathroom, satellite TV, game, and reading room, a very small gym, and washer / dryer. We didn't use any of the shared rooms except the kitchen for water and to chill wine in the refrigerator or to warm up a delicious left over from the restaurant in the toaster oven. The only issue my wife or I had with what was otherwise a perfect stay was our bed. The bed was not at all up to the standards of the room or the rest of the property. It felt like an old style mattress with shared (not individual) coils connected to a hard top and bottom. The quality of the mattress wasn't even close to what I'd expect from Le Soleil when considering the cost and quality of the room and property. The mattress also made loud, groaning spring noises every time you moved and especially when got on or off the bed because of the old style coils. I'm less than 190 pounds and my wife weighs less than me, so if you were bigger and heavier the mattress could be very noisy and even less comfortable for you. Because the rest of the room was so spectacular, I still give it a 4.5, but that mattress should be replaced! Property 5/5 Beautiful property that also includes a nearby beach house and a farm on a limestone cliff above property. Food 5/5 Spectacular, fresh farm to table food served in a cosey, charming restaurant by staff whose only goal is to please and chefs that come out to talk to you to get your feedback and ensure you enjoyed your food and drinks. Staff 5/5 Amazing people work here. They are warm, friendly, helpful, and attentive to your every need. Overall a great experience. My wife and I will be back.

My wife and I had the best anniversary trip to Le Soleil d'Or. We stumbled upon Cayman Brac by searching for luxury boutique hotels in the Caribbean and all expectations were met and exceeded!! **Rooms** Over a total 8 day stay, we stayed in both Star Apple and Cherry Lime rooms, and only moved because we really wanted the wrap-around balcony with Cherry Lime. Both rooms were beautiful, clean, and spacious and would even work for a family with small children. **Manor House & Grounds** We loved that everything was so convenient around the Manor House. It's was great to have a full kitchen for storing any food and snacks and really liked that water bottles were available daily. The restaurant was perfect and we enjoyed dining there for most of our meals during the trip. Made to order breakfast was included daily and was a great way to start the day. The beach was about a 5 minute drive away but very, very private. On some days, it felt like we had the beach all to ourselves and this was a huge positive. **Staff** All of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible but a few individuals stood out to us. Amar (hotel manager) was nothing short of amazing!!! He answered questions for us every day and made sure that we were taking care of. We knew we were in the best of hands!! Rene managed the dining experience and he and Amar ensured that my wife (celiac disease) would have no issues to enjoy the food as much as possible. We loved the menu and his passion for the dining experience. Finally, Amanda was an amazing server and we loved her attentiveness, attention to detail, and memory (she always remember what we liked to order)! **Overall** 10 of 10. Le Soleil d'Or is a no brainer if staying on Cayman Brac and should be on your radar if you looking into ideas for where to stay in the Caribbean. We would only stay at Le Soleil d'Or on any return trips to The Brac.

We like quiet - it was quiet, we like quality - it was very good quality, we like good service - it was perfect service! The island is for nature-lovers. Don’t forget to pack your hiking boots, diving or snorkeling gear,but it is also available for rent on the island. Enjoy.

Le Soleil Dor Cayman Brac was a beautiful resort. A hidden gem- Amar took great care of us and paid attention to the details in our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen came well equipped and was very convenient. The scenery was stunning. I enjoyed the tour through the farm and the beach access.

Beautifully kept farm-to-table boutique hotel with spacious rooms and picture-perfect views. My husband and I wanted to escape from the hectic pace back home and Le Soleil D’Or did not disappoint. Located only about 15 mins from the airport, you are collected by the hotel concierge and given a tour of the grounds upon arrival and check in. Included in your stay is a generously portioned breakfast with garden view as well as an approx. one hour tour of their farm. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner for an additional charge (simply inform them you will be coming) so that they can make sure you have a seat reserved. We stayed in the Star Apple room which boasts a luxurious bath tub and walk out patio leading directly to the pool. Guests staying at Le Soleil D’Or also have access to the Beach Club which is only 4.15 kms down the road. You can borrow their bicycles or use their electric scooters. Make sure to bring a towel from the pool and lots of water. A big thank you to the Staff for making our stay extra special and for accommodating my husband’s gluten allergy. They took extra precautions in making sure his food had no cross contamination and he even had his very own bread each dinner.

We were staying in Cayman Brac for a week and needed two nights lodging somewhere on the island. We had previously had an amazing dinner at the Le Soleil D'Or Hotel restaurant and also visited their Beach Club not far from the hotel. I called and spoke to Anil who said they had someone leaving the one room they had at the Beach Club and we could move in at 4 pm. Anil picked us up in the hotel van from where we were staying and took us to the hotel to register and then to room at the Beach Club. Anil picked us later for another incredible dinner at the hotel. It was pizza night and that proved a whole lot more than pizza. We were first served a gigantic platter with an assortment of cheeses, breads, fruit and nuts. Then we each selected our own custom toppings for our pizzas. The Panna Cotta desert with a passion fruit topping, made by their very talented pasty chef, was off the charts. Everything they prepare at the hotel restaurant comes from their 10 acre farm on the bluffs above the hotel. We spent the entire second day at their private beach after a five-star Eggs Benedict breakfast. Afterwards, we were even given a 1-hour tour of the farm which included a tasting of many of the fruits grown there. Our room at the Beach Club was perfect with a very comfortable king size bed and a view out to the ocean room the deck. We had one more extraordinary dinner at the hotel that evening with transportation to and from the Beach Club by Anil. He also picked us up at 7 am and took us to the Cayman Brac airport the next morning. The entire experience was way beyond our expectations and the restaurant a gourmet delight. We highly recommend this 5-star boutique if you ever plan to visit the Brac. Make sure you ask for Anil, he is the BEST!!!!

Le Soleil d'Or is the proverbial hidden gem. Located off the beaten path on Cayman Brac, yet easy to reach from Grand Cayman. Outperforms in every category. Level of care taken across the board in setting, design, decor and by staff is impressive. I marveled at the place, really. Who built this little gem, as it was love that put all of the elements together here. The finishes throughout are lovely, thoughtful and create an atmosphere that is beautiful. We were celebrating a special birthday and I was in contact with Anil, Operations Manager, who facilitated requests and made our stay a delight. He sent a list of local vendors should we need to arrange anything before arrival, from car rental, to a variety of excursions (scuba diving/rock climbing), massages. A fleet of Trek bikes (Cayman Brac has excellent roads), as well as a tennis court, are available on property for guests use. We were there to simply relax on the beach, and with a four night stay, chose to stay put and enjoy Le Soleil d'Or. Le Soleil d'Or's kitchen turns out delicious food at every meal. Plates are pretty, lots of choice on menu, breakfast is included in the rate. As there is a farm (yes, a working farm) on property, many ingredients are just harvested. Farm tour was informative and shows the variety of produce grown here. Restaurant and bar staff are wonderful. Whether you dine in the hotel restaurant or at The Beach Club, options abound. Our focus when traveling is on small, elegant properties who know that careful attention to detail creates a memorable experience for the guest. Le Soleil d'Or has a true team in place, who work together so your stay here is one you want to repeat!

Where do I begin... I told my fiance I wanted a honeymoon in a secluded, tropical paradise. He nailed it 200% with Le Soleil d'Or in Cayman Brac! Not only was it private, secluded and beautiful - it was nothing less than paradise. From the superb customer service to the breathtaking grounds, views and beaches - there were no disappointments. From the moment Anile picked us from the airport, the service was unbelievable. Even before our trip, Amar spent hours assisting my finance (now my husband) with all the details and best guidance ever. Chef Rene was, by far, the best Chef we have ever had the privilege of meeting and enjoying his culinary masterpieces. We have experienced some fine dining in our travels, but Chef Rene created masterpieces that will forever be a great memory to our honeymoon. The service and bartenders in the dining room, as well as at the Beach Club, were truly amazing. The hotel staff and housekeeping were on point and never let us down. We were treated to an incredible Honeymoon decorated room that took us by surprise. From the floral design to the champagne toasts - it was a dream come true. We stayed in Cherry Lime with spectacular views and amazing, spacious accommodations. We visited the Coast House one day and that is on our list of places at the property we must stay at in the future. The Beach Club was pristine and private also. When they are open for business, the atmosphere is incredible and friendly. When its closed - you have the ultimate in privacy. You truly get the best of both worlds. This will be the first of many visits in our future. We are beyond satisfied. 10 stars doesn't even do this place justice!
