This place has a great location right on the beach and the management of the Coconut Beach hotel was nice and helpful. BE ADVISED: The name of this property has changed as it has new management. What the renter told me was named "The Club" has changed to "Coconut Beach" (we realized later that signs say in very small letters that it's formerly called the club) however it's very confusing when arriving and trying to locate the correct place. I attempted to stay in contact with the owner and let them know our schedule, in addition to when we arrived, but I never got a reply. Locals were nice enough to help us, but don't try giving them the address the owner sends, as no one there uses or knows street names/ addresses. While the original listing says Coconut Beach in one part of the description, the one and ONLY message the owner sent me directly after reserving it only refers to the property as "The Club Caye Caulker". Nowhere is the other name mentioned, so we had some initial frustration trying to check in.
ALSO: The Airbnb listing states that check-out is 11:00 but the staff at Coconut Beach hotel informed us it was 10:00!! This was an unpleasant surprise when we had to try to explain ourselves and not get changed for late check-out. The owner listing this property needs to update their information!!
Once we were actually able to get in and get settled, we realized this room is desirable for the location. It's a short walk from everything, and not too far down the beach, but still slightly outside of the busier area. There's an awesome bar in front, and you can sit outside of your own room, people-watch or listen to karaoke. Having a few drinks at the bar was also nice, and the staff was great. The dock that extended out from the beach was perfect for sitting, swinging, or swimming, even on a windier day it was a nice spot to sit and relax.
The unit has minimal items-- There was a cutting board but no knife (only butter knives) to cut a lime. We had to use the room towels for going in the water and then more towels were not brought to us when we asked for them. You have to plug in the fridge and turn on the AC when you check into the room, so hit the beach or a bar for a few hours until you can enjoy the room comfortably.
While I would stay at this hotel again, I wouldn't book through this Airbnb listing, I'd just book directly with Coconut Beach so you have a better contact and someone who will be available and helpful if there are any issues. The staff at Coconut Beach assisted us with storing our luggage on the day of our departure after we checked-out, but before our scheduled water taxi. We really appreciated them!
