oh how we enjoyed this place as our home base in caye caulker. (a note about our travel style- we are laid back, like off the beaten path traveling, and a nice place to crash after we explore all day.) we rented the hummingbird house for ten days of bliss in june of 2022. To say lucrecia is a super host is doing her an injustice. can there be a super-amazing host distinction on airbnb? because she deserves it. i mean for real. this lovely woman bent over backward to ensure we were taken care of on our stay from start to finish! we got off our southwest flight in belize city and had a bit of worry about what we would do when we got out of customs until we saw a sign with our names on it held up by a driver lucrecia had set up for us. we paid him what she suggested plus a tip and went on to the port for the ferry to caye (“key”) caulker. the ferry wasn’t leaving for an hour so we ate lunch at a lovely place in the ferry terminal (the last sip) that offered lunch and drinks while we waited. we had the traditional belizean dish of beans and rice with stewed chicken and a lobster quesadilla. it was wonderful! we bought the round trip ferry tickets to caye caulker - they’re cheaper than two one way tix- and enjoyed a lovely smooth catamaran trip to our final destination. there was some initial worry on our way there as to what we would do next when we got to the island but, yet again, we exited the ferry to a taxi (golf carts on the island-love) driver holding our name on a placard. (what a relief to know she had made the effort to find good honest people to drive us to and fro.) he brought us straight to hummingbird house, and we were met by lucrecia and her beaming smile. i cannot stress enough how amazing it is on this island to have an entire villa this clean and comfortable to yourself with a lovely view and an amazingly attentive host. the mattress we slept on was super comfortable and the house was beautiful and well maintained. we used it as our jumping off point and with the added bonus of the bikes- (super awesome that they are included) they really were so key to our happiness here, we used them constantly and just puttered around finding fun new places to eat and play- we felt completely at home on the island. a couple favorites - the pelican - amazing atmosphere and when we went on a sunday night there was an amazing live singer j.cas. wonderful. reinas for good fresh catch, suggestion gourmet for breakfast or art cafe- yay mango season. we love live music so we sought that out as much as possible- and enjoyed it and the people watching from the deck at hibiscu. again lucrecia is a super amazing host and the bungalow villa was perfect and perfectly appointed with kitchenwares and clean lovely sheets and towels. bonus- doing those stairs and riding bikes and diving and snorkeling all week toned us up really fast! ha! stay here for sure but if your going soon stock up on your big repellent as soon as you get to the island. :)
