Coconut Palm Unit: Upscale condo with Caribbean Sea views

Coconut Palm was incredible. The property is stunning both inside and out. Outstanding interior design, and landscaping with views that are everything you hope for with a tropical vacation stay. Brad and Mark could not have been more welcoming. They are ture pioneers of north Caye Caulker with incredible insight into both the past and future of the island. If this property is available you would be foolish not to book it. We could not have had a better experience.

I hardly know where to start. OK. Borderline Perfect. Exquisite comfort at the end of an epic road. Gorgeous.Caye Caulker is such an amazingly different place north of the Split and you can't do better than this. Wisely putting their faith in property manager extraordinaire V, the owners have put together a super friendly, accessible and spectacularly-appointed space. Couldn't recommend it more strongly.

A Beautiful property but a very rocky beginning. The host and co-host did a great job getting us to the condo and helped us up the two flights of stairs with our luggage. We also really appreciate that they gave us an early check in, especially since it was raining and there was nowhere to go for shelter. The condo was clean, beautiful and modern, but had a strong smell of fish because the previous owner left fish in the trash and because the microwave had also evidently been used to reheat the fish. (Although the housekeeper had taken the kitchen trash can outside before our arrival, the condo still smelled of fish for the first 3 days.) We kept some of the windows opened and gave the microwave a thorough cleaning. Although having included access to two bikes, the roads leading to any store, restaurant, or other part of the island were ridden with many muddy puddles. Anytime there is rain, expect to have to ride bikes through puddles. Because of placement of palm trees/leaves, Ocean views are NOT available from the lower unit unless you’re at least 6 feet tall. We stayed a week and were told no housekeeping services are provided with a stay of seven days. (Ten (10) day minimum requirement for housekeeping. Finally, it was only because of the intervention of the co-owner, Mark, that we were able to feel heard during the stay. The co-host responses to concerns made us feel as if she thought we were incompetent or inconveniencing her. 1 day before leaving, Chris addressed our primary concerns.

3 Days of Palm Life Brad, Mark, and Venzie were great hosts — warm and quick to respond, with great tips about places to go and sights to see. Fabulous terrace where the view and breeze were as peaceful as any place we’ve been ina very long time.

Hidden Gem We loved every minute spent at Palm Life. It felt safe, peaceful, and was very, very comfortable, equipped with all modern conveniences. It's a bit off the beaten path on the north island of Caye Caulker, but just a 20-minute walk or 10-minute bike ride from El Ben Cabanas resort, which has a great restaurant and pool facilities available to Palm Life guests (El Ben and nearby Happy Lobster also deliver and provide golf cart transport to and from their restaurants). Grocery store is close as well. Also easy to get back and forth across The Split to south island, or north to Bliss Beach, via boat from Palm Life's pier. Best thing about this accommodation is the on-site management, which responded immediately to every single inquiry or concern from the booking process on, then repeatedly went beyond the call of duty to earn our trust and ensure we had everything we needed while there.
