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.

Amazing!

We had the best time! Everyone was super helpful and inviting. Our room was great, view was pretty good too. Morning coffee outside or out on the dock. We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay or vacation! The restaurant and bar never let us down! Shuttle boat made this easy, and the drivers were awesome! The island was new to us but we figured it out pretty well. We will definitely be back!!!

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.

Pictures are misleading

Very high expectations going into this stay and it fell flat. The pictures posted sell it well and more like a high end property, but in reality it felt more like a campground with yurts although they are cabanas. There was only decaf in the room, no towels, the AC didn’t work well. Hoping for nicer finishes and less of a camp feel. The pool was also not in great condition. The people were lovely however and couldn’t have been more accommodating and kind. And the restaurant was incredible! Short staffed so won’t discount for service - get the seafood soup!

The property was extremely clean and well kept. Beautiful lush, tropical grounds. Everyone was we encountered during our 3-day stay was kind and accommodating. Everything we tried at the restaurant on-site was tasty and fresh. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and secluded El Ben, is for you!
