Hidden Treasure Vacation Home Blue Bay Cottage

Only met by nice cleaning lady, day of arrival. She showed us the unit but stated immediately that swimming was not allowed. Kind of surprised as "beach" in description suggested to us that included swimming. That evening as we returned to unit (after exploring the town center and having dinner) that the TV was not working. Tried messaging twice as well as 2 phone calls (no responses) Next morning received a curt message that "How dare I" try to contact him with trivial matters and if we were not happy we could leave. My wife and I were in town having breakfast when he sent us an additional message that he demanded us off the property by 11 and then we would only be charged for the first night. We had to hurredly hire a taxi and get our belongings and find another hotel. We encountered nobody at the property and sent a message that we had left the keys in the unit. We never met the owner once and only saw the cleaning lady when we first arrived. Unfortunate that we could not come to some more reasonable solution but I guess we caught the owner on a bad day. Not sure if there were any other guests there, we never saw anyone.

Beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The room was nice. The grounds were clean. The bicycles to get around were a great bonus. We would definitely stay there again.

The room was nice and very clean. The owner was accommodating and responsive. We ended up extending our stay. The bikes were great for getting around Caye Caulker! We’ll definitely be booking here again for our next trip to CC.

We had and amazing stay with Francis! Such a great host and an amazing wealth of knowledge about his country, culture, and island! I could say so much more but I would be writing a book! If you are headed to Caye Caulker and can stay here, do not miss your opportunity!

Exceeded expectations! We stayed in the cottage with the king bed and AC and this place is clean, good bed and shower, and is a stand alone 5 star review. Francis, the gentleman that owns and operates the place is one of the best hosts I’ve ever had. Wonderful local knowledge, runs a great snorkeling/ boat tour company and made my wife and I feel very well taken care of. If I could give the place 6 stars I would

Owner, clean cottage, amenities, bikes, helpful! Nice Island Caye Caulker

Quiet, cozy, and comfortable! One of very few locally owned places and Francis and family are amazing. Very welcoming and helpful! The AC worked great, the bayside view was amazing waking up to the sounds of all the birds in the mangroves. It’s close enough to get into town quick but far enough away to relax. They provide bikes for all guests which makes seeing the island much easier! Would recommend 100/100 and will be back to stay on my next visit.

Everything, if I ever return to Caye Caulker I would definitely stay there again.

The owner has a number of improvements and updates planned over the coming year.
