Jungle Cocoon

Top choice in Caye Caulker


Jungle-shrouded and dripping with character, this octagonal bungalow has to be Caye Caulker's most romantic stay. The bedroom is spacious, with lovely hardwood flooring and tasteful art, but the bathroom is the real treat, offering a sitting area complete with a drum set, and lots of natural touches, including a live tree surrounded by conch shells.

Large windows on each of the bungalow's eight sides highlight the lush tropical landscaping, and the adjacent private garden is an ideal spot to take morning coffee and baked goods from Suggestion Gourmet, the property's fabulous restaurant.
