If you are looking for the only place worth staying in Belize, Shaka Caye is it. From the very moment I stepped off the plane, the staff made us feel like royalty. Their attention to detail is truly unmatched; they anticipate your needs before you even have to ask. The culinary experience was the biggest surprise of all. I have dined all over the world, and the food here tasted like I was eating at a 3-star Michelin restaurant. Every meal was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. A special thank you to Glenda and her entire staff. Their warmth and professionalism made our trip feel deeply personal and incredibly special. They don’t just provide a service; they provide a memory. I won't stay anywhere else in Belize from now on. Please enjoy the brief video and pictures attached—though they truly don't do the beauty and hospitality of this place justice! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a9de2ca-fff0-46d8-bd35-38bc377b3402-1767834752537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/38bcdbcf-b603-4516-8065-def96c6cb6b2-1767834756293.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3026ac87-d5c2-49e5-a63f-4a0846910730-1767834762025.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tiwand Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really can't say enough about our stay at Shaka Caye. From the moment we got off the boat we were surrounded by beauty and luxury. The staff are fantastic, from the excellent bar staff (Obie and Roddy), to the boat and excursion captain (Andre), to our coordinator Daisy. We will 100% be back, it's that fantastic. 5++++ stars. ##### Kevin Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Naimah Oct 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was amazing. The rooms were very clean. The food was great! We stayed from Friday to Friday and all the food options were different from breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. My husband and I came here for my birthday and our anniversary. They made that day very special. They decorated the boat. Then in the evening we had a nice romantic decorated dinner by the fireplace. They came out singing happy birthday with a cake. It just felt like we were on a couple’s retreat. Oh and bring extra bug spray, aloe Vera gel and alcohol. Those bugs will tear you up. ##### Naimah Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### karen Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a delightful private small island. Only accessible by boat, so if you want to get away from it all this place is for you! Excellent staff, good food for a resort, and with capacity only for 35 guests you may find yourself completely alone like we did for our first few days. Kayak over to a private beach and swim with the fish (no sharks!) overall a very relaxing vacay! ##### karen Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Eric Kelly Oct 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Not much to complain about at all. Be careful when booking as the room booked on Expedia and room we got there were not the same. One bedroom beachfront villa on Expedia translated to a one bedroom Jr. villa at the resort and was said to be a software disconnect???? Resort had no interest in fixing the problem for us. All other staff was amazing. ##### Eric Kelly Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren May 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything about our stay was amazing!

Great vacation if you want a quiet, relaxing and secluded time. The food was amazing. You need to take a boat off the island to do excursions and that can be pricey. Also, if you like to watch TV at night, you should take a tablet, since the villas do not have TV’s. ##### Isabel Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### brandy Dec 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were not sure what to expect when we booked this small island vacation but decided to try it and keep our expectations to a minimum. We just returned after staying at Shaka Caye for the last week. 12/11/25-12/18/25\. We were blown away by the food, the accommodating staff, the island beauty, the tasty drinks, and the easy of walking around the island. Our room was beautifully decorated and comfortable, the AC was cold, the bathrooms were well appointed with hot showers, hair dryers and a straightener. The twice daily housekeeping spoiled us. The mini refrigerator was in perfect repair and well stocked daily with sodas, water, and snacks. Our room had 2 robes for use during our stay. We truly enjoyed having access to the double kayaks and the paddle boards which were in good repair. Shaka Caye ‘s staff want to meet every expectation. I fell in love with the fryjacks that the chef prepared for us daily and I made mention of how I would love to learn to make them. The next thing I knew I had an invitation for a fryjacks lesson. We went on a private snorkeling tour with Edwin and he made every effort to show us interesting fish and inform us about the reef. It was such a privilage to have been spoiled by such wonderful people. Percy, Michael, Roddy, and Obey all helped make our stay special. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing getaway and you are comfortable relaxing, swimming, fishing, and enjoying fresh food this place is such a great find. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1b10efcc-55a4-4bd7-9891-2e4d01f7c41e-1766122339999.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/064f27ed-82c1-4926-ae20-540e6623b3cf-1766122341643.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### brandy Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The island was breathtaking.

The local team provides excellent hospitality! Many thanks to Magnoly, Daisy and Glenda for their services and support! Rodwell for spoiling us and last but not least Edwin for being such a nice and attentive Captain initiating me on my first fishing trip! Kudos to the Chef for the amazing food! This small corner of paradise is definitely unforgettable! ##### Corina Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy John Feb 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really lovely ‘get away from everyday life’ holiday. Super helpful and friendly staff (who work so hard), food choices were great and liked how quiet and peaceful the small island is. So relaxing made it very hard to want to do anything! Only tip to add: if you’re a pasty white ‘gringo’, make sure to pack a decent insect repellent as when the wind drops and the sun is out, so are the sand flies. The staff recommend baby oil! Would recommend coming to Shaka Caye in a heartbeat. ##### Timothy John Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Marie Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was such a gem! Private island with few guests made this stay such a unique experience. The service was EXCEPTIONAL and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Couldn't have asked for anything better. One note is that if you want to do anything off the island, it's a process to take a 40 min boat ride to the main land. Well worth the stay if you want to relax and stay on the beach! ##### Catherine Marie Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Jan 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved our time at Shaka Caye. It was a dream come true, perfect for swimming in the ocean, kayaking & relaxing. We enjoyed watching a family of dolphins from the restaurant balcony while eating breakfast. We went snorkeling, booked a day trip to Alton Ha & the midnight cave, went deep sea fishing, Day trip to Caye Caulker where we petted nurse sharks, fed the tarpon, saw stingrays & enjoyed the shops & restaurants. We were well taken care of on all of the excursions & enjoyed the one on one treatment we received. The food was delicious & fresh! I highly recommend Shaka Caye! ##### Thomas Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nakia Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This place is beyond words.

The cottages were large, modern, with a private balcony. The beds are very comfortable. Everything was easy. No complaints at all. ##### Sareh Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori Ann Dec 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I never thought I would be able to experience a private island in the Caribbean. This place is incredibly beautiful, clean and quiet with the best service and staff. The food was absolutely amazing and all 3 meals can be served right to your cottage every day. They offer several different adventures to add on. One that we did was the private snorkeling tour with Andre at the mesoamerican barrier reef. I traveled with my elderly mother who wouldn't have been able to swim the reef, so they pulled her around with a life raft while she observed the reef. If you want a private Caribbean vacation without the crowds, book Shaka Caye. We were so pampered that we didn't want to leave. ##### Lori Ann Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eden Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay was excellent! Requests made in advance for services and a special birthday surprise were all easily accommodated. The bartender/waiter became our best friend by the end of the trip. The food? Chef's kiss! Every single meal was either delightful or delicious. Every staff member we met was incredibly friendly. We were the only guests on the island, and everyone still made it special. It was completely safe and relaxing. A tip for drinkers: We supplemented our liquor from the airport duty-free store and were able to use it for our cocktails. ##### Eden Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Private Island Paradise with Exceptional Service Shaka Caye Our stay at Shaka Caye was magical. From the moment we landed, everything was perfectly arranged. We were picked up at the airport, taken to the dock, and transferred by private boat to this stunning private island. Shaka Caye is peaceful, exclusive, and ideal for anyone who wants to disconnect. We stayed in a beachfront villa, and waking up to turquoise sea views from our balcony while enjoying fresh coffee and breakfast was unforgettable. What truly sets this place apart is the personalized service. The staff was warm, attentive, and always made sure we felt comfortable—whether bringing piña coladas to us on the beach or checking in just at the right times. We took a guided tour where we saw nurse sharks up close—an incredible and safe experience. I celebrated my birthday there, and the staff surprised me with a personalized cake and a romantic private dinner. Every detail felt thoughtful and sincere. If you’re looking for privacy, natural beauty, and exceptional service in a quiet, Shaka Caye is the perfect destination. We left completely relaxed and already dreaming of coming back. ##### Judith Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The West House Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ignacio-Hotels-The-West-House-Boutique-Hotel.h103362027.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels North Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Bay-Motels.d6134289-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [ Bayblue Suite1 ](https://www.expedia.ca/Caye-Caulker-Hotels-Bayblue-Suite-Studio-Apartments.h33394690.Hotel-Information) > > [GM Suites Bed & Breakfast ](https://www.expedia.ca/GM-Suites-Bed-Breakfast.h92179440.Hotel-Information) > > [ Oceanfront with Incredible Views and Free use of Kayaks- Oceanaire 6](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-NEW-Listing-Incredible-Views-In-Spacious-2-Bed2-Bath-Ocean-Front-Condo.h36881141.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms 2 Bedroom Suite at Jaguar Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmopan-Hotels-Family-Adventure-In-The-Rainforest.h31541959.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Bay Belize Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Belize-City-Hotels-Golden-Bay-Belize.h46123458.Hotel-Information) > > [Big Falls Extreme Adventures](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Gorda-Hotels-Big-Falls-Extreme-Adventures.h30356091.Hotel-Information) > > [The Toucan Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Independence-And-Mango-Creek-Hotels-The-Toucan-Inn.h96994358.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Caribe Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Grand-Caribe-Belize.h5505103.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa ](https://www.expedia.ca/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [Birds Eye View Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Crooked-Tree-Hotels-Birds-Eye-View-Lodge.h38393282.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Valley Wilderness Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Mountain-Pine-Ridge-Hotels-Hidden-Valley-Inn-Reserve.h1404046.Hotel-Information) > > [Indigo Belize 2A 3 Bedroom Condo by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Indigo-Belize-2A-3-Br-Condo.h34496919.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Terrazas Resort and Residences Ambergris](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Las-Terrazas-Resort-And-Residences-Ambergris.h1872117.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand and Sky Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Sand-And-Sky-Resort.h109032685.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Hotel-Del-Rio.h17960861.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Scandinave Spa Whistler](https://www.expedia.ca/Scandinave-Spa-Whistler-Hotels.0-l553248635919224022-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Kiki Witz](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmopan-Hotels-Kiki-Witz.h29135822.Hotel-Information) > > [Mayan Princess Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Mayan-Princess-Hotel.h9794668.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ambergris Grand Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-THE-AMBERGRIS-GRAND-LIMITED.h87745285.Hotel-Information) > > [Tanager Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Gorda-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Big-Falls.h15855931.Hotel-Information) > > [Island Magic Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Caye-Caulker-Hotels-Island-Magic-Beach-Resort-Ltd.h5261305.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pink Seahorse Cabana at King Lewey's Island Resort, Placencia Cayes, Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/Placencia-Hotels-The-Peach-Seahorse-Cabana-At-King-Leweys-Island-Resort.h19953058.Hotel-Information) > > [Bella Vista Resort Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Bella-Vista-Guesthouse-Cabins.h18742782.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Sydney (SYD) to Auckland (AKL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/syd/akl/sydney-to-auckland) ### Packages
