We can’t recommend Monique’s place highly enough. It is a little piece of peace and tranquillity tucked away at the south end of town, but with the bikes provided is only a few minutes cycle to the hustle and bustle. Sitting in a hammock on the generous veranda under the rustling palm fronds, listening to the birds, is relaxation personified.
Tucked away in the greenery next door is a French bakery (!) where you can get delicious coffee (we bought two bags to take home), fluffy French toast, and freshly baked baguettes. Perfect.
Also, only seen at night, hidden in leaves under the cabana, you can search out beautiful blue crabs that live there.
Caye Caulker itself is ace: chock full of amazing places to eat and drink - a bit overwhelming trying to decide which to sample! - and with unique experiences to enjoy... We did a snorkelling tour and saw a green turtle, large eagle ray, nurse sharks and countless rainbow coloured fish in the beautiful coral beds; also saw rays, seahorses and pelicans close-up sitting on a jetty.
You won’t regret booking this place, and Monique will take good care of you: a perfect host. Enjoy!
