The description is a bit deceiving based on our recent stay.
The luxury bed upstairs might have been nice to sleep on, however it was located right underneath the untreated thatch roof that let in the heat so much so that it felt like a heater was on. Measured a good 90 degrees up there.
Downstairs there is an air conditioner that nicely cools downstairs but does not even begin to touch the upstairs heat. We slept on the futon downstairs instead of trying to pull the queen mattress downstairs. It was ok, but look out for the dip in the middle.
The open to the outside bathroom, otherwise known as “thoughtfully designed”, will allow you to take a hot shower, yes, but you will be fighting mosquitoes throughout. I was told that’s to be expected as mosquitoes “spawn after a rain”. Well, no rain, but the areas of standing water outside the back of the cabana was most likely the breeding area. Oh! There are electrical mosquito repellents you can plug in when you get there, but you will find no directions or explanations. You must keep changing the pads for control.
A Keurig was provided, however no Belizean I spoke to knew of pods or where to buy them. So bring them if you want coffee in the room or you can use the French press provided. But be careful not to hit your head on the stairs that stick out over the kitchen cabinets and sink. Ouch!
The best part was the COMPLIMENTARY bicycles that were there. We were able to explore the island and had a wonderful time! We did end up leaving early and were refunded for the nights we didn’t stay, which we appreciated.
We will definitely be back to Caye Caulker, will just do a little more looking around before we decide where to stay.
