Very nice rooms, very clean and comfortable, great water pressure. Grounds were clean and well kept though after heavy rain some of the paths were flooded (what do you expect being at literal sea-level). Staff was superb and helped me both with a booking issue (resolved wonderfully) and any questions I had about town and other bookings. It is on the north island making getting to town a bit harder but their boat and the ferry are pretty convenient but you do have to plan extra time for them. Great overall

This was a tranquil experience. The hotel resides on the north side of caye caulker which is a nice break from the busy south side. The hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff was beyond excellent. They provided complimentary transportation to the south side and locations in the nearby area. They arranged a taxi for us to be picked up at the airport and transport us to the water taxi. Justin and Freddy were the best. We will definitely be coming back with more family.
