We stayed at the Reef House with a group of 6 people. If you're not looking to stay in hotel, It was a great house to stay in to really get the feel of Caye Caulker.
Pro's: The actual house was really cool. It had a awesome balcony where your can sit at night and watch people go by on the road. It's very secluded and it very quiet at night, but you also feel very safe as well. It's walkable from all the places you'll want to visit, but if you need to take a bike or golf cart those can be rented as well. The house seems to be popular among the locals, because everyone we talked to seemed to either have been in it or partied in it at some point in time.
Con's: The host of the house is pretty much unreachable by email or text. We had a guest come a little early and tried to reach her by email and text and never got an answer until he basically arrived in Caye Caulker, not sure why that is. When he showed up at the house at about 1pm, the cleaning crew was there and said that the previous guests were still occupying the home (checkouts at 10am). They also said that they had no record of our group even occupying the home for the next few days.
Some things to keep in mind:
- This is NOT a luxury house/villa. There are bugs (was expecting this and I didn't list it as a con because you're in Caye Caulker, you have to expect bugs), the beds are hard, and you will take cold showers. If you don't like this, stay in a hotel.
- If you've never been to Caye Caulker and are expecting some resort type experience, this is not the place for you.
