Hands down the most beautiful place to stay! Clean, beautiful, and accommodative! The staff was above and beyond helpful and friendly! The only annoying thing was the mosquitoes, but we were there during rainy season, and there was standing water under our deck so it seemed like it also could have been a breeding place for them. But don’t let that keep you from booking a stay there. It is a U.S.A. golden standard property! Would be back if opportunity would afford!

We had the place to ourselves and the beautiful wildlife right on the river. Shanna and Kenny were wonderful and handled every aspect of our trip. The pool and bbq were fun! I would definitely stay here again. The family of Howler Monkeys with babies were my favorite part. Peaceful, serene, and in the jungle.

We stayed at the Palms for a night as Hurricane Beryl approached Belize. The property was lovely, but the best part was the wonderful staff- Angelee and Selvin were absolutely amazing! They helped us in a million ways, and always with great friendliness, even in the anxious hours before the storm arrived. Next time we go to Belize City, we'll definitely stay at the Palms!

Loved it. Great location. Amazing staff who took great care of us. The apartment was pristine, with everything we needed and great wifi. Lovely pool overlooking the beach. Looking forward to our next visit.

The resort is located a 5-min boat ride away from San Pedro and the resort provided a boat service that was always available at 15-20 mins notice, and the boat captain was highly responsive and helpful, even showing us specific shops in San Pedro that we needed, so we didn't get lost. The housekeeping was excellent and attentive. The manager was highly communicative, proactive and responsive for all requests.

While San Pedro is not for beach lovers since the beach is not usable near this property, there are area attractions to take advantage of such as snorkeling, diving, and fishing. Spend an hour and you'll get to a beautiful beach either in Key Caulker or at the Secret Beach. Renting a golf cart is highly recommendable. This property puts you smack in the middle of where the locals are and Aileen, Randy and Alex are very accommodating. We had a great 2 bedroom apartment with a deck that had an...

I stayed for my birthday in February and I will say it’s safe, clean, and perfect for solo or plus one traveling! You’re about 10 minutes from the city but the owner has amazing recommendations for drivers, food options, and excursions that she helps with if you ask! If I come back to Belize definitely will be back!

Great small location north of the bridge if you want to stay away from the congestion of San Pedro town, but still be a close golf cart ride away. Enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, great breakfast, and amazing morning sunrises.

Best vacation ever! A true home away from home at Playa de Sala from the moment I arrived with the staff greeting us, a welcome cocktail (that was inventive & delicious) and tour which led us to our beautiful room with AMAZING VIEWS! I stayed two weeks at Playa and loved every minute. The food from Salas kitchen is unparalleled on the island. I chose to eat all of my meals there after the 3rd day of bad food elsewhere.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, was fantastic! We wanted to get away from the crowds and the lines and the towering resort communities. They treated us like we were special, from the cart waiting for us at the airport, to the boat ride to the cabins, to the margarita waiting for us when we got off the dock, to the fact that they called us by name the whole time, to arranging personalized tours, to the gourmet meals, to the genuine towel artistry of the women who made up the rooms, to the choice...

The property is well managed and is in a central location next to the cruise ship docks and the Belize sign. The adjoining yoga, health and café center next door were very nice. Didn't have time for a class, but wish I did:)

This is an amazing Resort. Being our 4th trip to Belize, we have stayed at different places each time and this was our favorite so far. Amazing room and friendly staff! The only downside is, the lack of cart parking. I would recommend having staff park their scooters/motorcycles in a staff only parking area and leave the cart parking area for the guests.

My family of 11 stayed at El Ben Cabanas from 2/18-2/25 and we had the most amazing stay and experience. The property is immaculate, the staff is incredible and accommodating (Harold and Merli were so wonderful), and the restaurant on-site served delicious food, consistently. While the property is on the north part of Caye Caulker, it was easy to walk south of the property to the split to take the ferry to the south.
