Pat and his family have made Happy Destiny a lovely, quiet bit of paradise on North Caye Caulker. If you are looking for a serene, private place to stay with all the amenities you could ever need, I cannot think of a better place to stay than at Happy Destiny! Pat also runs a small store of provisions in case you don't want to run over to the South part of the Caye. But, don't feel intimidated about getting across the split. There are numerous ferries that go back and forth all day. We used Clayto's ferry (look for a pontoon with his name & lights on it!) and he was also super friendly, prompt, and always made sure we made it back across at the end of the night. Blu Zen also has ferries that will take you across The Split. We never used them, but the staff told us as long as you buy something at the bar/restaurant, you can get a free ride across. Same goes for King Koko/Northside Beach Club. We had a group of five along for our Belizean adventure and were able to stay in three cabanas so we all had a great amount of privacy, but were also all able to hang out on the raised deck (with spectacular views of the surrounding forest canopy and the ocean beyond!), any of the plentiful outdoor beds for lounging, at the kitchen bar (where there is an awesome grill if you want to barbeque like we did!), or the built in submerged stools in the pool! I will say it is imperative to pack or buy bug spray on the island as there are sand flies, but that is a part of life everywhere in Belize, as far as I can tell. And as long as there is a bit of a breeze, they aren't much of an issue. And there is almost always an island breeze, so no worries! If you are looking to Go Slow and be among nature with the added ability to travel into 'town' as needed, Happy Destiny and Pat have you covered. The place is wonderful and Pat and his family are more than accommodating. I highly suggest Happy Destiny as your next perfect vacation spot, solo or with friends, you will not be disappointed!
