Love it!
Beautiful and peaceful location. Easy access to the activities of the South Island. Great service and food at T&T’s was wonderful!

Book it
We loved our stay! The property is clean, quiet, and the staff is lovely. It’s a great place to stay that’s away from the commotion but still easily accessible to the South Island on their nice private boat. The food in the restaurant was great too, we ate both breakfast and dinner there.

Amazing!
We had the best time! Everyone was super helpful and inviting. Our room was great, view was pretty good too. Morning coffee outside or out on the dock. We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay or vacation! The restaurant and bar never let us down! Shuttle boat made this easy, and the drivers were awesome! The island was new to us but we figured it out pretty well. We will definitely be back!!!
Britni, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff and property were top notch. Not in the heart of Caye Caulker but easy to access if you are so inclined.
Christina, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were incredible! They felt like family. The food at their restaurant, T&T, was excellent as well. Special transportation options with their own skiff we're also available. The bungalows were well appointed and super comfortable.
Robert, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Pictures are misleading
Very high expectations going into this stay and it fell flat. The pictures posted sell it well and more like a high end property, but in reality it felt more like a campground with yurts although they are cabanas. There was only decaf in the room, no towels, the AC didn’t work well. Hoping for nicer finishes and less of a camp feel. The pool was also not in great condition. The people were lovely however and couldn’t have been more accommodating and kind. And the restaurant was incredible! Short staffed so won’t discount for service - get the seafood soup!
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was wonderful. All staff members were friendly, attentive , and helpful. Restaurant was good. Visited during slow season and everything was quiet & peaceful. Access to town via complimentary water taxi was essential. Will absolutely stay again. Definitely advise to bring mosquito repellent.

Amazing stay at a beautiful property! Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, rooms were lovely and the property was everything needed for rest and relaxation. Though away from the North side of the island- they have a boat and a golf cart to get you across as you wish. Food was also good!

Aggie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing place! The location is beautiful, well maintained with excellent staff. We loved the food and the access to secluded beaches in north island of Caye Caulker. Staying here does need some planning with their boat schedule to get you to and from the South Island which you will need to travel to for various tours, ferry or airport but the boat trip is 5-6 minutes.
Dhiraj, 3-night trip

Property was very nice and relaxing. Almost felt like we had the property to ourselves at times. The restaurant is 5 stars! Great food and drinks! Savier the server was the best!
