Caye Caulker
A dreamy new addition to the southern stretches of Caye Caulker, with just a few hotel rooms and cottages offering a highly personalized experience. The rooms are clustered into dainty clapboard buildings surrounding luxe lap pools, while two blocks inland, three fully-equipped cottages also share a pool. All interiors are spacious, comfy and adorned in local hardwoods and art.
The staff is on the ball. Snorkels, paddleboards and kayaks are complimentary.
