Szybki przegląd: A charmingly rustic beachfront base that trades a swimming pool for a killer pier and silence, provided you bring cash for the final bill.
Przejrzane przez @TaraTravels: I fell in love with the laid-back vibe here. Biking down the sandy paths and chilling on the private dock with a cold drink felt like paradise. The colorful cabanas are super cute and cozy—perfect for a chill island getaway.

Reality check
The shoreline itself has seagrass (common in Belize), so you must walk to the end of the pier to swim properly.
- You prefer reading in a hammock over doing shots at a swim-up bar
- You are comfortable cycling 10-15 minutes to get to dinner
- You appreciate eco-friendly touches like 5-gallon water jugs instead of plastic bottles

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is there a swimming pool?
No. Guests swim off the private 150-foot pier where the seagrass is cleared.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, in most rooms (Suites and Garden Cabanas). However, the 'Caribbean Cabanas' are fan-only.
How far is it from town?
It's about a 15-20 minute walk or a 5-10 minute bike ride to the main water taxi area.
Are the bikes really free?
Yes, two bicycles are included per room for the duration of your stay.
Can I pay with a credit card?
Only if you pay the full balance 30 days before arrival. On-site payments are cash only.
Is the beach swimmable?
Not directly from the sand due to seagrass. You need to use the pier ladder.
Porady dla wtajemniczonych
- ✨
Use the free kayaks to paddle out to the reef early in the morning before the wind picks up.
- ✨
Ask for a room with a 'hammock on the balcony'—most have them, but it's the best seat in the house.
- ✨
Buy groceries at the shop near the airstrip to use your kitchenette; it's cheaper than the town markets.
5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The tap water is not potable, but they provide unlimited purified water in 5-gallon jugs.
💡The 'beach' is hard-packed sand, not fluffy white powder, but they keep it raked and clean.
💡You are very close to the airstrip, but planes are small and flights stop before sunset, so it's not a noise issue.
💡The coffee setup (beans + grinder) is shockingly good for a beach cabana.
💡The wifi is surprisingly fast (Starlink or fiber) for an island, often clocking 100Mbps+.
