Told me that my room was under a different name and still argrued with me after i showed them my itenerary. Gave us the wrong room which led to more argruements. We went to northside, and when we came back to the hotel. There was animal turd on our bed

We had a great time and they were very accommodating and friendly. We liked being on the quieter north island but it was really easy to get to the South Island between their boat shuttle and a golf cart ride to the ferry.

Beautiful and peaceful location. Easy access to the activities of the South Island. Great service and food at T&T’s was wonderful!

This resort is amazing. Very sweet cabanas as well as a gorgeous beachside property. If I were to go back to Caye caulker I would choose to stay on the south side rather than the north - however el ben had a complimentary private boat on a pretty frequent schedule going back and forth so it wasn’t too much of a problem that there wasn’t much going on around the resort.

We loved our stay! The property is clean, quiet, and the staff is lovely. It’s a great place to stay that’s away from the commotion but still easily accessible to the South Island on their nice private boat. The food in the restaurant was great too, we ate both breakfast and dinner there.
