Top South Water Caye Hotel Reviews
Caribbean Shores Bed & Breakfast
10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast was very healthy, and it was on time. The room was clean and having access to the beach was refreshing."
Seiri del Mar
10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed how welcome we felt as we were greeted. The property is beautiful and we would absolutely stay here again."
Coconut Row Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"What a jewel this property is! The property is beautiful, the cabins are clean spacious and very comfortable, the food was great and the pool perfect. Best thing about this property is the people that work there. All were very helpful and fun. Even the typically “invisible” maintenance crew would greet us and ask if there was anything we needed. Based on staff recommendation we rented a golf cart and were easily able to tour Hopkins. The owner even stopped by when we were having breakfast to say “Good morning”. They all make you feel like a welcome guest…even the property dog Bella. 😍"
Almond Beach Resort at Jaguar Reef
10/10 Excellent
"The rooms are modern with TV, fridge and coffee maker with capsule provided. Very spacious bathroom with big walk-in shower. Cold AC and ceiling fan in each room. Expansive your own outdoor patio. Nice /clean pool with the bar and pizza maker very nearby. Prices on drinks and food are reasonable. We use room service and order all meals into the room. Amazing see pier with two story at the end and the bar. My twin boys jump all the time from there into the see. Every night staff making a fire pit and provided with marshmallows and sticks. Fill very safe inside and outside the resort. Perfect place for family with small children(s). Highly recommended...great location, amenities and prices compare to AIRNB/VRBO rentals."
The Lodge at Jaguar Reef
10/10 Excellent
"We rented a home that was managed by the Lodge atjaguar reef with access to all of the facilities and amenities at the Lodge. The home was spacious and comfortable. The lodge staff was very much available and accommodating. I’d stay again and recommend it."
Sandpiper Beach Cabanas
8/10 Good
"Overall a good place on the beach"
Pal's on the Beach - A Gold Standard Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Pal's is an incredible value if you're looking for an authentic Belizian beachfront experience in Dangriga. It's literally right on the beach, and you'll be waking up to that view every morning. The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and everything was well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. If you're someone who wants the full American-style resort experience with an on-site restaurant, bar, and lots of amenities, you may prefer Pelican Beach. But if you're an adventurer who values a sparkling clean room, a comfortable bed, an unbeatable beachfront location, amazing views, and exceptional hospitality, Pal's is the perfect choice. We'd happily stay here again."
Parrot Cove Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Parrot Cove was nothing short of amazing. From breathtaking views to delicious breakfast, this place was top notch. The staff was more than helpful when we faced a significant delay at the airport that put us getting in much later than anticipated. Yoli went above and beyond to stay in contact with me and setting up someone to be there when we arrived after hours. The breakfast was so good: traditional Belizean breakfast with the freshest fruit I have ever had. Beds were extremely comfortable and the AC about froze us out of the room. Overall, 10/10 on the stay. I will be back to Hopkins and, specifically, Parrot Cove."
Placencia Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The staff was exceptional and the time of year we went was amazing"
