* Stephen Broadbelt, Compass Point Condominiums – Grand Cayman

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we're going to wrap up this segment with
an individual that I know well known for many many years,
who is the owner and developer of Compass Point Dive
Resort and Ocean Frontiers Dive Shop and Grand Cayman, Grand
Cayman Island. I'd like to welcome Steve and Broadbelt. Good morning, Steve,

(00:22):
Good morning John. Hey, so glad we were able to
make this work and we've got about four minutes. Tell
us just a little bit about Compass Point the resort
and people sometimes get intimidated by being a dive resort,
but it's really evolved more of a family resort.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah. Absolutely. I went on the island of Grand came Island,
came An Islands, and we're on the eastern side, more
off the beaten path, on the side of the island,
and we're a small resort. You know, we don't have
three hundred rooms. It's just twenty seven rooms. And a

(01:01):
lot of people that say that are stupid diamonds. But
more and more it's people that just want to be
away from the crowds, want some piece of clients don't
have to fight for space on the beach to read
a book, and so it definitely appeals to a mixed
group of people that you know, just looking to get

(01:22):
away from all the noise and enjoy some of our
beautiful sunshine.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, I think you hit the nail on the head.
And you know, Cindy and I love Compass Point and
we love the Cayman Islands and our family's been there
and we send all kinds of people there. But there's
so much to do, even on the East end. People
sometimes get associated with Seven Mile Beach and all of
the hustle and bustle there, But through Compass Point. At

(01:48):
Compasspointdive Resort dot com, you can find information about land tours, snorkeling, kayaking, bicycling,
all kinds of stuff to do along with dining and
the information about the resort. Anything new and exciting going
on on the island right now.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well, although it's been there for thousands of years, of
the new Crystal Caves as actually opened for visitors so
you can go explore this underground cape system is just
ten minute drive away from us, and also the Queen
Elizabeth Botanical Gardens. It's kind has gone through quite a
few upgrades. There's more stuff for kids to interact with

(02:28):
and the blue Iguana and the Blue Dragon program has
expanded even more than what it was before. So there
are two things on the top of my list to
do when you're not in the ocean.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Of course, well and Tappa's point is associated with Ocean Frontiers.
I'll take you out and dive with or excuse me,
just get with the sting raised. You don't need to
dive with them. You can just either snorkel or just
be in the water about waist deep. You can get
snorkel trips. The dive shop can show you where you
can go individually and do some snorkeling. Always go to

(03:00):
Queen Elizabeth Botanical Park every time in there. It gets
better every time. And I agree that the the caves
are exciting. Run points another great destination. If people want
to learn more about Compass Point Dive Resort, how can
they do that?

Speaker 2 (03:20):

or Oceanfrontiers dot com. Joint at the hip that's lots
of information. While just on our Ocean Printerier's YouTube channel

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Winter's coming everyone, so it's a good time to think
about getting away. The Cayman Islands exceedingly safe there. There's
just almost no crime. I have great restaurants, great things
to do. You can be busy as you want. Go

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Have you ever wondered why health insurance costs seem to
keep going up? I was doing some research online and
I stumbled upon some surprising information on Blue Cross Blue
Shield of Michigan's websitemibluedaily dot com slash affordability. I was
surprised to learn that the cost Blue Cross pays for
prescription drugs rose by a staggering fifteen percent last year.

(04:28):
Fifteen percent. That's five times higher than inflation. It's no
wonder healthcare costs or a concern for so many of us.
That's why Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Michigan is working
hard to help all of us better understand the factors
driving up healthcare costs and sharing. What they are doing
is a business to address it. Because Blue Cross knows
that healthcare is personal, it needs to work for everyone,

(04:49):
and affordability matters. So I encourage you to take a
minute and check Outmi blue Daily dot com slash affordability
and get informed. You'll be glad you did. It's eye
opening information that can help everyone better understand the complexities
of the healthcare system and its impact on your health
insurance costs. Michael Patrick Shields here. As you all know,

my October six for sixty six dollars wine club. And
