Caye Caulker was wonderful. Hilda gave wonderful directions to her place including helping us get a golf cart ride from the taxi to her place. Hilda’s communication was fast and efficient. She connected us with a snorkelling tour group Anda De Wada Tours ran by a family member that was fantastic! They even gave us a 10% discount because we were staying with Hilda.

The photos in the ad make the apartment look much cleaner and nicer than it actually is. We were met with a roach upon arrival unfortunatly and one on the last morning before we left. Additionally, the apartment is in a rougher part of the village within the working part of the community. I did not mind that and did feel safe walking and biking in the community even at night. However, this environment might not be for everyone.
My husband adjusted the showerhead and got an electric shock which was a bit scary.

The upstairs balcony was awesome but full of sand flies. To be fair, the sand flies were everywhere in the Caye though. Bring tons of bug spray and cover yourself to avoid the biting sand flies and mosquitoes. The view of the water is not nearly as close as it looks in the photograph on the website although it is lovely. You just have to over look a few empty lots in order to see it.

The wi-fi was pretty good in our room although others complained that it didn’t work very well in their rooms.

The apartment is full of three other groups which was a lot of fun but not particularly private if that is what you are looking for.

Overall, the apartment was a great value as long as you have the correct expectations in advance.
