Jerome is one-of-a-kind and Gill’s Cove follows suit. It’s a warm, slightly rustic, and entirely fun atmosphere on a tiny little island.
There’s snorkeling right off of the dock, lots of things to see there, plus they’ll charter you a small boat for next to nothing to get to the bigger stretches of the reef.
The property has incredible views, and though I am a water gal first and foremost, what really sealed the deal was Jerome’s cooking. He has an obvious passion for it, and loves to share it with others - in fact, I’m not exactly sure how this man manages to sleep, given that all that he does. We had fresh fish caught specifically for each meal. Best seafood and some of the best Belizean food I’ve ever had.
Gill’s was safe, clean, friendly, laidback, and unlike anywhere else I’ve been - plus, it’s a genius idea that Jerome includes meals in the price — one of the best secrets in Belize. Without that, one would likely spend way more, plus have to haul it to the caye, as you can’t buy much once you get there.
If you get a chance to stay at Gill’s Cove, go for it!
