Our stay at Botanical Paradise was awesome! Michael and his sister were both wonderful to work with and eager to help out however they could. They even had a couple beers in the fridge upon our arrival! :) The apartment is clean with quiet and effective air conditioning units in both the bedroom and the living area. The kitchen is well equipped with pots and pans, there is plenty of counter space, a gas stove and a nice fridge and freezer. A nice bonus is that Michael provides a 5 gallon jug of drinking water along with the rental. The private pool is perfect - especially after a hot walk into town or a day of snorkeling out on the reef. You can walk out to the dock and watch the sunrise, with comfortable lounge chairs and tons of fish and pelicans all around. The bed is comfortable and two sets of towels are supplied (bath and pool), as well as bar soap.
Caye Caulker is a fantastic island to stay on. The local bakery and the meat store next door are must-see stops for those wanting to cook at home. Keep in mind that everything on the island comes at a premium since it has to be shipped in. Street food vendors on front street are also an excellent option for evening fare.
