Do you love early morning construction site clanging? Great! This property has two sites behind the pool just waiting to serve as your alarm clock.
But don't worry, if you can sleep through that, property staff will come bang on the door, the roof and walls early in the morning in order to retrieve large mattresses from the owners closet or to install a camera on the porch overlooking the deck. They won't have a plan or communicate with you. They'll keep it spontaneous!
And! They'll casually spring it upon you that they need to "come back over one last time" around 9am the next day.
Oh great.
Do you love showing your 12 and 14 year old what life is all about? Fantastic!! Because the owner lent one of the properties to an employee who brought two early 20-something's along who sunbathe topless with matching micro-thongs. Sure to cause questions from the kids.
Do you like taking showers?
Too bad!
There isn't water upstairs. You might get lucky with a thin trickle downstairs. It's all luck of the water lottery really.
Were you hoping your hosts would make recommendations for day excursions or restaurants? You are on your own toots.
Michael was out of town (after being assured initially he was going to be on site to help us) and we were left with CeCee who just sort of vaguely waved in the direction of downtown when asked hard questions like, "We just flew 20 hours to get here - is there a lunch spot nearby?"
We ended up booking with tour guides (Frenchies = Good! Unda Da Water = Bad, never found manatees & their boat broke down and they bailed on our 2nd tour) on our own.
We'd wanted to go fishing but never found anyone to take us. Neither CeCee nor Victor knew anyone to recommend.
We just sort of stopped asking CeCee anything because it was just vague shrugging and pointing that didn't seem to lead anywhere.
Overall, Caye Caulker is gorgeous. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere.
