Island Magic

Caye Caulker


Offering excellent value for its accommodations and amenities, Island Magic offers spacious, earth-toned rooms with fully equipped kitchens and dining areas on the 1st and 2nd floors, with more-expensive rooms offering glorious ocean views from private balconies on the 3rd and 4th floors.

The swanky swimming pool is an added bonus and the new restaurant and bar, Magic Grill, is delightful. Grab one of the hanging tables suspended beneath palapas (open-air shelters with a thatched roof) on the sand.

An attached tour company can hook you up with island and mainland excursions.
