If you’re looking for an excellent location where you can rest your head at night and explore the island, this is an excellent choice. You cannot complain about being right next to a rooftop restaurant and bar that has live reggae music on Sundays. It also has a small pool. This is not something we used and according to the reviews was inaccurately depicted in certain photos, but they are nearly identical and this was really a non-issue when as you are right on the beach. The staff is friendly, helpful and assisted us in finding the place when we were wandering around looking for the place. It’s now called Coconut Resort, not Club Caye Caulker. The names have changed a few times and that makes navigation a little difficult. It also created some confusion when you are required to provide proof of where you are staying Belize is a Gold Standard accommodation. Be sure to check the tourism website to ensure you know the name ahead of time.
We stayed for 3 nights. Caye Caulker is a vibrant and bright city, full of culture and life. The condos being situated in front of the beach and restaurant, bar, dock with a diving board, access to the other floaties was basically all we wanted in our stay.
We were within walking distance to everything we wanted to do. However, this island is only 5 miles long and 1 mile wide. If you like to walk, it’s literally no problem to just stroll, bike or golf cart your life away here. Even in 90 degrees with a face mask on.
The room itself was adequately sized and was the equivalent set up for a larger-than-standard size American hotel room. A bedroom with a small bathroom and queen sized bed and a small studio style open area which included small couch (that did not pull out to bed like the image depicted nor was it a good size for three grown adults to sit together), two small tables, one bar dining table with four stools, a lamp and kitchenette area/fridge which has everything you could essentially need short-term.
The room advertised stated it can comfortable accommodate 4 people for sleeping. That would not be correct. We had 3 people and one other adult was not very comfortable on the cot provided in lieu of the pull out couch. They ended up sleeping on a very small microfiber couch.
There were plenty of other available rooms so I am not quite sure the reason for providing us a room that was not consistent with what was advertised.
The air conditioning was super cold. No problem there! Brrr…
They don’t give you a lot of toilet paper. I’d recommend packing extra (or wipes)… but, yes, you do have to put your toilet paper in a waste bin. This isn’t that difficult to do, it’s just a little funny to try and break the habit of dropping toilet paper in the bowl. Everyone runs their own septic so it’s very important for the island that you abide by this rule! They have limited water so the shower is low pressure but it was totally fine!
The queen bed was a spring mattress. The bedding was also adequate. There were hand soaps provided, towels, utensils, coffee mugs, plates and bowls, two rolls of toilet paper which was literally as much as we used.
Hope this is helps others! I still rated this place 5 stars because I’m just being transparent— these certain issues mentioned were things that were fine for us and not a big deal. Happy travels!!
