Hilary and Pike are wonderful hosts! Communication with Hilary prior to my arrival was speedy and helpful, ensuring a smooth arrival and check in. She was able to provide me with the ferry schedule from Belize City to Caye Caulker and even arranged for a pick up at the airport to get me to the Belize Express Water Taxi terminal. Once at Caye Caulker I was met at the ferry pier by Pike who took me in his island golf cart to their home (Picololo) just a short ride south of the main public pier. He then brought me back at the end of my stay. Hilary and Pike were both very friendly and provided me with recommendations for places to eat and things to do while on Caye Caulker. Hilary was also able to assist me with arranging a tour to Altun Ha once I returned back to Belize City. Superhosts indeed!
Their home, although south of the main beach area, is really just three minutes away by bicycle and ten minutes by foot. I enjoyed having the use of the bike, even though I could have walked. Picololo is in a nice shaded, quiet, and peaceful location. I certainly did not feel like I was missing out from being closer to Front Street. They have two friendly dogs and a gentle cat who will either hang out with you or leave you alone as you wish. The room is quite large actually, more than big enough for two people. The photos are accurate and there were no surprises. The floor fan was a very welcome addition to the ceiling fan since I did not use the AC. The room is clean, the bed comfortable, and the wi-fi was fast and reliable. The shower comes with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, and the kitchen is well equipped and comes with a full fridge and a large five gallon water jug. I can easily recommend Hilary & Pike’s place if you’re planning a visit to Caye Caulker.
