Cheap flights To Mountain Pine Ridge (BZE) from $75

Alaia is a beautiful hotel with super friendly staff & rooms are cleaned daily! We loved our free 1 day cabana rental however, our server only gave us menus and never came back to take our orders. I was really upset that there is not beach access to get into the water to swim but than again the water was not attractive and there was a horrible smell some days. Huge turn off for me being as though I'm a beach bum at heart! Drinks at the pool bar are overpriced and watered down. Bring your own liquor! Spa prices were insane and overpriced almost double what you would pay in the States. The local market around the corner is also very high. We paid around $13 US dollars for a standard pack of cookies listed for $25 Belizean. Overall, I enjoyed myself but highly doubt I would return for a 2nd trip.

Shaka Caye was exactly what we wanted and needed from our vacation. My husband and I have never been so relaxed while vacationing. No real schedule, low key, breathtaking location, staff takes a minute to warm up to you, but we understand they are trying to gage how much or how little you want to socialize. We enjoyed getting to know each and every one. Bryan, George and Logan were our favorite servers. Rodney and Percy were our favorite bartenders. Veronica and Fiona were amazing from the reservations to email communications. Gigi, the best chef ever! Her table side manner was impeccable from the explanation of the food options and preparations to the next meal options. She even fished for us one afternoon because we were one of two couples onsite. What a treat!! The maintenance crew could pay closer attention to detail, as my husband picked up a few screws and nails on the island. The re was a flapping vent we could hear at night, but I am admittedly a light sleeper. We opened up all the widows during the day to allow the perfect island breeze flow throughout our villa. Thank you to all of the Shaka Caye team for making it a place we will dream about until we return!!
