We had a great time and they were very accommodating and friendly. We liked being on the quieter north island but it was really easy to get to the South Island between their boat shuttle and a golf cart ride to the ferry.

This resort is amazing. Very sweet cabanas as well as a gorgeous beachside property. If I were to go back to Caye caulker I would choose to stay on the south side rather than the north - however el ben had a complimentary private boat on a pretty frequent schedule going back and forth so it wasn’t too much of a problem that there wasn’t much going on around the resort.

They claim that they provide transportation to split, but it is very limited to specific times and you have to pay to cover ferry. It is inconvenient place with limited amenities. The safe was not working in room. The hotel smells at night

Resort was beautiful, staff was wonderful and accommodating. We were hesitant about staying on the North side of The Split but worked out great. There were no resorts or hotels that compared to El Ben on the South side and between the El Ben boat and the rides to The Split, it ended up being no problem to be on the North. Plus it's much quieter. Highly recommend!

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.
