You Won’t be Disappointed!!

Absolutely wonderful experience and exceptional facilities! It’s secluded, quiet, beautiful, clean and safe. Special shout out to the incredibly kind and supportive staff who really make this place a whole other level. I’m so grateful to all of them for making our stay so convenient and comfortable!

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!

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The food was great. They offer free boat rides to the south side of the island all throughout the day, which is great. Overall a great stay!

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.

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.

Book it

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.
