El Ben Cabañas

The property was an oasis in a rural area, out of the town but with easy access. The palapa style cottage rooms were quaint and well appointed. Dining was excellent. The staff were all friendly, attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend staying here when in Caye Caulkner.

Absolutely an amazing place, every aspect of this place is top notch, the place is spotless and the staff are all wonderful people, the most friendly people I have ever encountered, this place is a gem for sure, peaceful, friendly, they will help you with any request you have, I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore Belize, Herold is a great guy who looks after his customers, I have never been treated this well anywhere I’ve been, the entire wait staff and the people behind the scenes are incredible, the food is absolutely wonderful, all I can really say is that we’ll definitely be back and I have told all of my friends that love to travel all about this wonderful place, Belize is a gem of a place, beautiful country, beautiful friendly people, I can’t say enough good about all of it, highly recommend it to everyone

On the negative side: - this hotel has no beach whatsoever (taken out by a hurricane) and swimming is not really possible in front - it has a small and not very pleasant swimming pool On the positive side: - the bungalows are large, well equipped and very comfortable - the restaurant is good - the staff is very nice and friendly

This is the friendliest and most peaceful stay imaginable. We love this ambiance and the kindness of the staff! The pina colada is the best ever! The waters so pristine. Fabulous lobster and coconut! We would return in a heartbeat

Property was very clean and in order. Staff was very attentive to the resort area. Kudos to the front desk staff (Harold snd Tyra). Harold was excellent in coordinating our transport around the island and making sure we were safe at all times. My only complaint is the golf cart and its limited seating ... we were a party of 7, and that called for 2 trips (pick up and drop off). Allen our speed driver was on time and professional. Nick (bartender/server) was very friendly always asking and ensuring we were ok. To sum it up..... it was a rime well spent!!

I had a great stay at El Ben Cabañas! There was a little bit of a hiccup while checking in, however once I surpassed that everything went well! The manager, Harold was very attentive towards my group for our entire stay! He made sure we were good! Nick, was very attentive to our group as well! His service was excellent! Also, Tara was great and very professional as well! The only means of transport on Caye Calker is via Go-Carts or boat. With that being said the only thing I didn’t like abt that was that the resort at times had only one (1) available Cart to transport back and forth to the “Split”. There were seven (7) of us total in my group so that meant two (2) seperate trips each time we needed to go back and forth! The “split” is where we have to be dropped off to connect to another private mini boat to take us to the other side (South Side) of Caye Caulker. (It’s operated by the owner, Clayto annd he charges a small fee). Also, as far as the boat goes, a bigger boat or even multiple boats would service the resort much better. The resort only has one (1) speed boat (mostly operated by Allen who was also very attentive and professional) which transports back and forth from the resort to the main port of Caye Caulker! At the main port you wait there for the Express boat which can take you Belize City or San Pedro and back! Overall, I give my entire experience an 8!

The property itself is awesome - very nice rooms. Its a little inconvenient with their shuttle, especially get back to the resort, found it easier to just take the Split shuttle and walk.

El Ben is close to the split on the North side, it's relatively new and the accommodations are great. There's an on-site restaurant and bar and the staff are totally there for your every need. They offer to take you to and pick you up at the ferry pier on the South side, there's a published schedule. They will also take you by golf cart to the split or the local restaurants on the North side. Would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others. Check-in and out was seamless, Harold even had a welcome cocktail for us!

Resort was very well kept and staff was AMAZING!! Rooms were so cute and very comfortable.
