"The Gold Standard of Belize – A Michelin-Level Private Island Experience! 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! "

"Clean room. The gym and restaurant were both great!"

"Great little hotel, near ferry and overlooking river with pelicans"

"The owner is helpful and makes the stay amazing!! She’s knowledgeable and accommodating "

"New hotel (opened in November 2025), with currently pristine facilities. Rooms were clean, well appointed, and fresh. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Not busy at all but I suspect that this will change once more people find out about it (it’s nicer in person than it looks online). Note that you either have to take a 10 minute taxi boat to Zenses and Blu Zen (resorts on the north island) from the main Caye Caulker town or can borrow hotel bikes to take the short trip ($1 or $2 to cross the water at the Split). I would definitely recommend this little gem of a retreat in the blue waters of Belize! Note: This is adjacent to Blu Zen, so parties could stay at both and still be in very close proximity."

"Very clean and new. Courteous staff. Loved the boat shuttle that ran every hour to the main area."

"This is a beautiful hotel in Belize City. Room is equipped with everything you need. We didn’t have transportation and found that we had to walk about 10 to 15 min for dining. "

"It was my first time visiting Belize and I wanted to stay on the mainland before visiting San Pedro, and the Pickwick was very suitable for me. I could easily walk to different restaurants in the neighborhood, and there is a park across the street that was active and filled with different food stands. The vibe was great. There is also a casino and a very good restaurant on the property too. As for the hotel itself, the room was spacious and clean and the beds were very comfortable. The only thing missing was a refrigerator and maybe a safe, but everything else was great. The best part of the Pickwick was definitely the staff. They were all so polite and helpful and helped me with arranging a guide to take me to the Altun Ha Mayan Ruins and just driving around, showing me much of Belize City. I will stay at the Pickwick, the next time I visit Belize. 🙂"

"Great location and amenities "
