10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our time at the property and I personally would live there at the property. :-) The only things that drove me crazy was the grime and rust around the sink and all the mosquitos in the area. Couldn't enjoy the pool because the bugs kept on biting. You are literally attacked by them as soon as you walk out the door. Couldn't swim at the beach because of the seaweed, but there were people attempting to clean it up but you cant control the sea. Also, the location of the property is located in Mexico Rock and about 45 minutes - 1 hour on a golf cart from the water taxi in san Pedro and depending on the weather conditions. Please take that into account when going. Secret beach is about 20-30 minutes by golf cart. Please purchase food in town before coming in as there are no markets and very limited food options in the area. Overall, I would recommend if you want something quiet, secluded, and away from the hustle of the city.

2/10 Poor

The staff at this resort were very rude. And everything was about a money grab. I even had to remind the staff several times About the VIP package which included free breakfast . After having a disagreement with the front desk, employee, Lisandro, he then advised the Staff working at the dining restaurant to charge us for items that we previously were told we were included in the free breakfast package . He had the staff repeatedly come back and charges for different items after the disagreement . They claimed there was 24/7 available for assistance, but when we called for several different issues regarding our room, no one answered the phone until the next day around 10 AM. The air conditioner, and two out of three of the rooms were not working. We asked him to take a look at the toilet that would not flush, they sent a maintenance man who did not look and told us that it was fixed. We then had to ask him to go back and look at the bathroom, which then forced him to actually fix it. These people were rude and unprofessional, and I will not recommend this stay to anyone. They tried to charge my card without my permission/authorization for an activity that I told them I was not going to partaken and was simply considering it. No written contract, nothing was agreed-upon for this activity, and because they were upset that they could not make that money, they proceeded to charge my card, even after I told them no. As someone who travels quite frequently, this was not great

Not so much. CCB
5 days too long here. To remote location, road is not maintained very uncomfortably ride off roading surfaces and must take it to get around. No water taxis to and from this hotel. Hotel is in need of maintenance, showers are in need of servicing requested and no change. Water trickles out. No pressure. pool bottom needs repair paint worn off so gives the effect of algae but actually isn’t. Tiki bar open when bar tenders shows up. They tell you specific hours but never the same, One day not open at all. So if you want a drink must go to small restaurant on property And that particular day other employee in restaurant does not know how to make drinks. Insufficient supplies. Ran out of pineapple juice and other items on menu. Be sure to get a golf cart from San Pedro when you land prices can be negotiated to $35us a day weekly rate as at the hotel it is $75us daily and they do not have available carts on property at all times and you may find you ll be stuck without transportation as we did one day. Taxis are $60us each way. Recommend if you want to be this remote staying at a location with water taxi service you may pay more rate wise & resort fee includes Transfer back and forth daily. In the end you ll save money ie margarita ville or stay closer to San Pedro. Caulker cay is suppose to be much nicer smaller easier to get around. Positive weather was beautiful. People are friendly. Water and views amazing. Next time not a next for me. ✔️ed off list.

Location was perfect - gorgeous beach* and far from the traffic and crowds in town. Reasonable & fun ride (albeit a bit bumpy) to/from town if you wanted to go there. Pros: full kitchen, in-room bottled water dispenser, decent mattress, bicycles. Cons: The Cayes have a heartbreaking garbage problem. Piles of single-use plastic litter on beaches, road etc. The hotel employees rake it up from *beach with the sea grass and dump it on neighboring properties. They could be part of the solution by picking out the trash and properly disposing of it. They should also provide trash cans on beach and around property. Saw many visitors/owners trying to do their part! Bring: bug spray (it is the tropics after all), reusable water bottles, ground coffee, and as many groceries as you can fit. (Food prices in Belize are high, and variety is low). I implore you NOT to buy/accept drinks in plastic bottles - as it will likely wind up in beach or ocean here. (Glad the resort has that dispenser,)

8/10 Very Good

This place's so quiet, which I like. Dark gets so fast, and you can’t hear anything except wind. Beach is beautiful, but you could not swim in the sea because it is dangerous. The facility did not recognise VIP status and didn’t upgrade my room. First, I received the room with no lock on a balcony door at all. I asked to change my room and waited more than 3 hours to get it done. In that room, the blanket had a big bloody stain right on the top. I was completely exhausted to ask a staff for help because they promised and never did. So… I just went to previous rooms and switched blankets. After I got a key for a new room, I realized that it fits for any room, which is not safe. The resort has 3 swimming pools, but one of them was officially closed, and I would never put my foot in another one with dirty water. Third one had a clean water. Be aware those pools are really small. This resort located around 40 minutes driving from town. I did not rent a golf cart for mobility because the road was with huge pedals, and I saw how carts stacked in the middle.

6/10 Good

The property is 15km from San Pedro and about a 40min golf cart ride. So if you want peace and quiet, this is the place. I would strongly suggest renting a golf cart for the week(better pricing) to get around. The location has one restaurant on property with friendly staff. Within walking distance is one other beach bar. I cannot say enough good things about the staff at the resort. They were super helpful and responsive to our needs. The two negatives are the location and secondly the Sandflies which were bad while we were there from Jan 5-19. One final note, before leaving San Pedro hit one of the grocery stores to stock up as the units do have a full kitchen. That way you will have some choice to get you started.

Amazing views and the staff were very friendly. Mosquitoes are TERRIBLE! This is not an exaggeration at all, but it felt like I got 100 of bites and people were surprised to see. The location is also very far from the center of town. If you plan to stay at the resort, then the distance won’t be an issue.
