El Ben Cabañas

The staff was really welcoming and fun to talk to. The restaurant was excellent, and the tomahawk steak was amazing! We went on the shoulder season and there were very few other guests. Seemed like we had the place to ourselves. Boat to the south side was very easy to schedule. Beds were comfortable.

The sargassum arrived early this year and the beaches stank to high heaven. They had crews working around the clock to clear it out, but it’s hard to fight Mother Nature. Had I known, I wouldn’t have booked ocean front.

Staff members were excellent - very responsive and informative. The on-sight restaurant was easily accessible, perfectly fine in terms of food quality and price overall in $US equivalent, but a little uneven across dishes. Grounds are well-kept and facilities maintained well with a sense of place relative to the island, especially the mangroves. It was walkable from the Split ferry but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. We would stay here again.

e North Caye is much quieter than South Caye with fewer restaurants and bars. Travel across the Split should be taken into consideration if you choose to stay here. We loved it, but crossing by ferry takes time - even though it takes about 2 minutes to cross and wait time for use was no more than 10 minutes. Ferries may be not available late at night. All travel on the Caye is by golf cart. The resort provides rides both by cart and boat but not at all times of day. Not criticism, just some things to consider. No beach access at this resort - you have to go to west side of the Caye or to South Caye.

friendliness and attententative

would like have an option where golfcart included with room.

Nice rooms and good (and expensive) food at the restaurant

Isolated overpriced hotel with little to no activities to do and average service.
