    A Culturally Immersive Experience
    We loved the beautiful rustic setting, the kayak rides to & fro, and the lovely proprietess. She cooked us stellar breakfasts and educated us about Garifuna culture. We also participated in one of their classes about the history, spirituality, cooking, and music of the Garifuna people.
    We wished we'd known ahead of time that there wouldn't be hot water. The bathroom could use a bit of sprucing up. And, I know they can't do anything about the sand fleas, but they were a problem.

    Scam and not good for solo travellers
    I had high hopes as this appeared to have good reviews. But they failed me as a solo traveler
    They do not cater to solo travellers. Everything requires two people to book. When I arrived in Hopkins I told them I was there, as required, and waited over an hour asking them to come get me boat. They did not respond. Any time I asked (before arriving) if there was anything I could do as a solo traveler, they did not respond. I ended up requesting a refund and cancelled last minute which was approved in a matter of minutes. Then, they didn’t refund me the full amount (I was refunded only 2/3 nights). I do not recommend this place. Will be working with booking.com to resolve this issue.

    Expectation versus reallity
    The host was on her way back from town and picked us up whilst walking with a heavy rug sack in the heat. Helped with our luggage in the kayak. Talks in the communal kitchen and being able to cook for ourselves Making Hudut with the host.
    I was very disappointed in the place and this is also due to my expectations of being amidst active culture. We were the only guests for the 4days and there was nothing to do except purchasing the cultural activities which were way past our budget options. We also found it difficult to relax because of the heat. The sea wind did not penetrate through the bush in the hut we were staying. even 2 fans were not enough. But that is not the main reason for the disappointment. Traveling for months now, we always managed to feel at home in the places we stayed. Here i did not at all. The host is sharp and direct and did not always have a friendly manner of communication. Although she laughed at our jokes the feel of distance was tangible. And this made me feel really uncomfortable. Thankfully I had a talk about this with her that cleared the air and we had a good cook together. It became clear to me that the rental of the cabins was a side income and all effort and energy went into the organisation of the paid extra activities. We did find a good cultural vibe in the town of Hopkins where we went everyday.

    Our visit was pleasant and educational.
    The location was just what we wanted. It was quiet but near enough to town. You could see every star in the sky at night and good birding from our deck. The breakfast we had there was one of the best we had in Belize. I highly recommend the history, cooking class and drumming experience we had during our stay.
    The room was small for 3 people, but we found that at every place we stayed in Belize. Most accommodations are set up for 2 people. There was no air conditioning but the fans in the room kept the room at a comfortable temperature.

    Everyone should pay a visit!
    Fab experience, everyone was super friendly and kind. The Kayak was easier than I expected. Was also a plus size inclusive experience all round and felt safe as a solo female traveller
    Nothing I didn’t like it was awesome but you need to be ready to embrace nature a bit!

    Authentic Garifana Culture!
    A wonderfully natural and earth friendly experience that connected to Garifana cultural roots!
    Miquitos, but that's to be expexted in a tropical environment. Bring repellent.
