Hotel in zona Aria Kat Art, Caye Caulker

We visit Caye Caulker every year in February and multiple years We have stayed at La Isla. The staff there is wonderful and is a big part of the reason why we return each year. The location is one of the best on the island. You will find yourself centrally located within walking distance of dozens of restaurants and not far from the water taxi. The hotel has a lovely courtyard with a nice pool and pool deck and every evening in the courtyard they host the bonfire. Just across the small street is the private beach and dock. There are kayaks and paddle boards available as well as thick cushions to put on the lounge chairs at the beach has an added bonus. The staff will carry all those things to the beach for you. The pricing on the rooms is very fair, and the resort has a variety of room options. They have about 50% of the rooms that as an American I would consider a typical Belizean hotel room the rooms are simple and very functional, not fancy. The other 50% of the rooms are more upscale for a Belize experience, many of these rooms are suites, or have a kitchenette. The pictures that they offer on their website are very good guidelines as to what you would expect in your room when you arrive. Enjoy your time in Caye Caulker!

Where to start about this Anchorage resort.. first off the listing shows the property close to the split if you look at the star on the map. It is literally the furthest resort away from the split. Totally disappointed when we first showed up. We got the and low and behold they couldn't find our reservations. Ended up putting us in a room that hadn't been cleaned yet with towels and bed unmade. We got a new room that was 2 twin beds instead of a king bed because they didn't clean it and everyone went home.. we rented bikes from there for our first night only for the bike to break down on my with the pedal bearings falling out and the chain to not stay on more than 3 pedals. Had to walk it back from the split. Talked to one of the guys in charge the night before we left and he said he would give us a ride to the airport for money. Our flight was at 715am. He said he would meet us outside at 630. We waited until 640 before we ended up having to walk us and our luggage to the airport.. got to my parents house that live in the reserve belize and realized I forgot my money bag under the mattress in the room bc you definately dont want to leave anything out. Contacted the manager and let him know. He said they are cleaning the room now(11am) and if they don't find it he will go up and find it and ship it to dangriga. Called later at 2pm and he said call back in the morning to make sure it shipped. Called back in the morning for him to say oh they didn't find anything under the mattress. Someone else has stayed in there now so they might have taken it.. nothing they can do about it. It was our responsibility and our fault. I agree but at the time I called. 11am and 2pm he easily could have found it and also said to call back in the morning to make sure it shipped. $1000 cash in a money bag. I would have given this place zero stars if I could. Proposed to my now fiancè on our stay and was super disappointed to bring her back to this place. 100% would never recommend..

This was by far THE BEST family vacation we've taken in 29 years!. I can't say enough about our experience but will try to give you the highlights to ensure your experience is just as good as ours. Little did we know July is not ”in season” in Belize, but for Americans looking for a relaxing, beach getaway with as little or as much as you want to do, this is the place to visit. In addition, July starts Lobster season there, so we had fresh lobster options at every meal. We looked at Air B&B and VRBO listings before looking at resort options, and I'm so glad I made the choice to stay at Mahogany Bay. This property is unique in that you get your own ”villa” for your accommodations. There are small villas to accommodate a couple of people. And there are larger villas to accommodate a small or large family. Mahogany Bay is a 5-10 minute golf cart ride from where our flight landed. Because we were Hilton Diamond members, they arranged complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport. Word of caution, if you are taking a puddle jumper from Belize City to San Pedro (which I highly recommend as it takes less time than a boat road and the boat ride is not that smooth), don't be surprised if your gate agent is also your pilot : ) Upon arrival at the resort, we were greeted by Dennis who not only helped with our bags and getting us to our villa, he got us complimentary Lemon Grass Teas (non-alcoholic) which was unbelievably refreshing on a steamy day. I'm not sure he ever leaves the property, because any time I needed something he was there...including when I was trying to find the name of one of our excursion guides. We had prearranged a gold cart rental through Mahogany Bay which we recommend doing versus arranging your self, as it will be waiting on you at the hotel and can be serviced / traded out should you have any issues. Sephenie, the concierge, assisted us with this in advance which was extremely helpful. I would guess 96% of the island runs on gold cart traffic. There are cars, but almost everyone is on a two wheeler or golf cart. This can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but there are three main roads that you have to know, and by the end of the first day, you can easily get around. As well, Sephenie assisted us in making several of our dinner reservations in advance as well. We did a couple of excursions through Tuff E Nuff Tours (see their page for that review), but if you don't want or decide not to spend the money on the excursions, VISIT the private island and make sure you find Duane. Duane is by far the best waiter / porter / all-around amazing employee/ person this property has. Duane not only suggested what became known as our favorite drink ever (frozen coconut mojito), he also took the time to hand write a list of restaurants we should try if we had the chance. He was a plethora of information. I don't believe he's a manager, but he should be because he understands service and getting to know his custo

Last time we visited San Pedro, we stayed at Ramon’s Village Resort. We loved it! During this next visit, we chose The Palms Oceanfront Suites. We loved it too! It’s right next door to Ramon’s and we were able to walk next door and eat at one of our favorite restaurants in San Pedro—Pineapples. The location is close to two great ice cream shops and several great restaurants! We loved the room at The Palms and will return! They picked us up when we arrived on the island, via Tropic Air! The took us back upon our return! The room was clean and housekeeping was very attentive each day! We especially appreciated Sandra! The grounds are keep clean and they rack the sand throughout the day! They provide your first bottle of filtered water and we were able to buy another when we used all of it! The pool was inviting and clean! The best part was our well-furnished patio (we were on the ground level). We loved our mornings and evenings lounging at the patio table and sun loungers! They will put up a hammock by request! This was well-used and enjoyed! The views were beautiful! It’s a quiet place to stay!! The only negative is… the television remotes are a little difficult to maneuver. Alberto came over and helped give us another tutorial. By the time it was for us to leave, we had it. Ha! We will return to The Palms!!
