Further complicating reviews, each unit is privately owned and vastly different from one another, not to mention furnished uniquely. Our unit was little more than a small room in a central location. It had no amenities beyond air conditioning; neither did it suffer the complaints we read regarding other units (loud front facing units, leaks, no water, mold issues, etc.). |
We took an earlier ferry to Caye Caulker than originally planned, then walked a short distance along the beach to our hotel. Within about 200 metres of walking, we already knew that we preferred it to San Pedro. Since booking a room at Coconut Beach Caye Caulker, it has flip-flopped between names and it's unclear whether or not its currently operating under the name Popeye's Beach Condos/Resort. We found our way around the island... Once again, we walked a lot, checking out all of the local food options and taking in the island's sights. Caye Caulker's motto is "Go Slow", and that's pretty much the entire reason to go there. With its sandy streets, colourful paint, and swaying palms, it has a laidback beachy vibe and little else. Lisa discovered "Dee n D's" on the 'lagoon' side and we ended up enjoying two sunsets and two dinners there. The first night we enjoyed a veggie dish, shrimp skewers, and Cuba Libres. We experienced much hotter weather than expected while on Caye Caulker (32 "feels like" 37 degrees Celsius); we naturally slipped into a pattern of early to rise and early to bed with an afternoon siesta in between. Mornings took us to Auntie's for breakfast and cheap coffee, the bakery for cinnamon bread and cheese and onion rolls, and Errolyn's House of Fry Jacks where a bean stuffed fry jack is just 75 US cents. By day two, we already knew where to go for barbecue and Happy Hour. Lisa also found "Reina's" where we shared delicious Jerk Chicken (sweet and spicy with pineapple) and curry chicken our second night on the isle. It's amazing how quickly routines can be established. The main place to hang out is at the Lazy Lizard at The Split (where a hurricane divided the island in two). We returned to The Split over and over again. Caye Caulker was unsurprisingly our favourite stop in Belize. On our third and final evening on Caye Caulker, we returned to "Dee n D's" for more of their veggies and shrimp, and to compare their Jerk Chicken to that enjoyed the night before. We spent a final relaxing morning on Caye Caulker before taking the noon water-taxi service to Belize City.
