Our first trip to Caye Caulker. We booked 7 nights. That was too long. Not the hosts fault, but there's not enough to do on the island for 7 days. Consuela was waiting for us at the pier when we arrived. Check-in was a breeze, but the apartment was SO HOT. Yes, there is an air conditioner. But in mid-August, it just can't compete with the heat and humidity. We were able to get it cool enough late at night, but during the day and early evening the A/C just didn't get things cool.
The apartment has a few pots and pans and dishes in the small kitchen area, as well as a plug-in stovetop. The refrigerator was plenty big. We cooked a couple of simple meals while there. Host provided dish soap.
The TV had plenty of satellite channels. I thought the ad said there were DVDs but there were not, only a DVD player.
The shower had nice hot water. There was liquid hand soap, so bring your own bar soap and shampoo. We were provided two towels and one washcloth. Mid-week we were able to swap out the towels for clean ones.
There were a couple of days when mosquitoes on Caye Caulker were a problem, and keeping them out of the apartment was a challenge. Not sure what the owner could do about this. You open the door to come in, and twenty mosquitoes follow you. When I say the island has a mosquito problem, I mean there are swarms of mosquitoes like I have never seen before. They chase you down the streets. You'll get bitten by 6 of them at once if you don't use a DEET spray. Really it was only a problem early morning and at night, especially if it rained.
Overall very satisfied. Scott, the owner, always replies fast to your messages. Consuela runs the coffee shop and cleans the apartments so she is easy to reach if you need something. The only real issue was the effectiveness of the air conditioning.
