The property and cabanas are beautiful. My main disappointment was it is not actually on the beach, as there is sand, then a boardwalk then a 6 foot wide lagoon then a row of mangroves before the ocean. Also housekeeping didn't come every day, not a big deal, but better to know ahead of time.

This property is beautiful! We enjoyed the quiet mornings, watching the birds from our deck, or reading at the pool. It is clear how hard the staff works at keeping the landscaping and buildings looking great. The staff are friendly, we enjoyed chatting with them during our visit! We ate at T and T’s often, the meals were always tasty and well plated, and the prices were very reasonable. The boat was so convenient to take us to south Caye Caulker- the ride is very quick! It was a 10/10 for our family! We will be back!

Beautiful property tea with cabanas located right on the ocean. I arrive by ferry from Belize city… And the property sent over a boat for the short trip to the cabanas. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant menu with limited. I would definitely rebook.

Food options were limited as quite a few things were out, rooms didn’t get cleaned which is ok but the garbage emptied would be nice since the toilet paper goes in the garbage. Service was slow, but food that we did have was good. The room was adorable, beds were comfy. The boat is not available on Wednesday which we did not know so we had to pay for the taxi and water taxi. Grounds and pool were very nice and clean.

Chris

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The property itself was aesthetic and clean. Opportunities for activities or ways to pass time are, however, limited. Due to its location on a separated island, there are almost no options for local restaurants, beaches, bars, or other activities. The on site restaurant is quite overpriced. It is connected to a more popular island with a ferry which costs 5 BZ per person per ride. For a more engaging experience, I would recommend simply going to a resort on this other island (south side) instead.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The staff were so nice and welcoming. The food and cocktails at the restaurant were great and everyone was helpful. Our stay was shortened by 2 nights because of a storm but the resort was nice enough to refund the nights lost although they didn’t had to. Britney at the desk was in contact with us the whole time to assist with boat, golf cart, tours and any request. She made our stay so much more easier and we are absolutely grateful for everything. The place is gorgeous and peaceful. We would recommend to anyone!
