I have read many of the reviews here and so won't repeat, but will simply heartily agree with all of the positive comments that have been made about this place.
Hilda has obviously put a lot of work into making her little "home away from home" a very comfortable, magical place to stay.
For me, one of the highlights of my stay there was sitting quietly on her rooftop, enjoying a morning coffee. (And the wifi works well up there, too.) I also went up there at night to look at the stars. What an amazing experience!
Fortunately, we didn't experience any bug problems while we were there, either down at the beach area or at her place, so I guess this could be a seasonal problem.
I visited Caye Caulker with my partner who unexpectedly had to leave early. Because this was my very first visit, I had many misgivings about my safety in the immediate neighbourhood, and in Caye Caulker, in general. Hilda told me all about how she grew up on that island and how everyone knows each other there, and looks out for each other, including visitors. By the time we finished chatting, I was completely confident that I didn't need to worry.
What I absolutely loved most about Hilda is that when I forgot some clothing there in my haste to leave, she wrapped it in a bag and sent it to by plane, to where I was staying on the mainland. Thanks so much, Hilda!
My only surprise about this very cute little place is that I had expected to be able to take the one minute walk to the bay. However, this really was not possible as there is a small sand quarry there, with machines that were working during the day to dig and carry the sand away. But if you came to visit the main beach area for most of each day (which is recommended), and not to spend too much time at the apartment, this will not be a problem.
Also, the apartment where I stayed (#2), although quite charming, looked a little 'tired'. Nothing that a new coat of paint couldn't fix, though. -Marilyn
