Everything was wonderful. All staff members were friendly, attentive , and helpful. Restaurant was good. Visited during slow season and everything was quiet & peaceful. Access to town via complimentary water taxi was essential. Will absolutely stay again. Definitely advise to bring mosquito repellent.

The A/C should’ve been better. It was not strong enough for being in that type of hot environment. The ocean front smells bad because of the water. But everything else was beautiful and very nice.

Amazing stay at a beautiful property! Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, rooms were lovely and the property was everything needed for rest and relaxation. Though away from the North side of the island- they have a boat and a golf cart to get you across as you wish. Food was also good!

The place did not have a beach area. It was too hot inside the room, with inadequate air conditioning. Additionally, the bathroom shared the same roof as the room.

The staff was responsive when alerted to air conditioner malfunction and were able to move us to another cabana. However, this cabana had structural issues in the flooring that would trip you if not careful. Also-as they are authentic roofs particles fall from them fairly constantly. Be aware that the 'north side' is away from the more active/party side of the island: this is what we were looking for but may not be for everyone.

From beginning to end this place was absolutely amazing. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. My husband and I went fishing one day and the chef at the restaurant was kind enough to cook our fish for us. He did an amazing job. Very thankful.

Loved my stay at El Ben’s! The property never felt crowded during our stay, or too noisy ant any point. Our cabaña was clean and spacious. The food was delicious, and the staff were so friendly and approachable. The office staff was extremely accommodating to our needs (I messaged them a lot LOL), and really made us feel like our stay was seamless. Whenever we needed to book a boat/golf cart to the mainland or the Spit to Split Ferry we were able to do so with ease. They even helped us book our snorkeling excursion (which was also a 10/10 with EZ Boy Tours). It was the perfect relaxing, secluded environment my fiancé and I were looking for, for this birthday trip. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Caye Caulker!

We had everything taken care of by the staff as far as getting to and from the airport. Highly recommended from this traveler.

I liked the design and aesthetics of the property. I loved how the staff was so friendly and helpful. They made sure I had everything I needed. They were proactive and reached out to me to let me know the best way to get to the resort. The food at the restaurant was amazingly delicious. I would highly recommend El Bin if you are traveling to Belize.

We absolutely loved staying here. The staff is friendly and will accommodate absolutely anything you ask for. They have golf carts to take you around wherever you want. The cabanas are very clean and have an air conditioner which we really appreciated. We ate almost every meal at the restaurant, best drinks and food in town! Can’t recommend enough

Great time with the family. They met all our needs. Good communication and service. We relied on their boat and cart to go to and from town since they are across the channel. Seemed to work fine for the most part

The property was nice but just outside the entrance was trash and some sketchy people living there. I wouldn’t advise Walking back from the split at night. Call the resort and they will pick you up. Service was great especially Tyra who was so helpful and sweet. Restaurant and bar manager, Melvin made the best drinks! Food was great at the restaurant.

We had a good time staying at El Ben. The food and drinks at the restaurant were excellent. The property is beautiful, peaceful and well kept. The rooms were well maintained with comfortable beds and good AC. However there are a few things I wish I would have known before staying here: To get from El Ben to the South Island (where literally EVERYTHING is) it is a process. They do offer options like their own ferry to the water taxi or golf cart to the split however there are specific times, locations, advance notice requirements, etc., and we found the reliability to be somewhat inconsistent. If you have a lot of activities or want to be somewhere walkable, better to stay on the South Island. We also found inconsistencies in the service. They responded to WhatsApp texts quickly most of the time which was nice especially with coordinating transportation. But upon checkin they didn’t really inform us of how things worked or what they offered etc, we just had to figure things out for ourself. Some of the restaurant staff were very friendly while others were pretty blunt. We also had to request a cleaner to come to get dishes from room service but they never came (had dishes in the room for 1.5 days). Overall, El Ben provided a nice place for us to stay on Caye Caulker but we did encounter quite a few minor inconveniences.

Amazing place! The location is beautiful, well maintained with excellent staff. We loved the food and the access to secluded beaches in north island of Caye Caulker. Staying here does need some planning with their boat schedule to get you to and from the South Island which you will need to travel to for various tours, ferry or airport but the boat trip is 5-6 minutes.
