We stayed at Thatch Caye for two nights in an overwater bungalow. It was such an amazing experience, very quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed the natural pool and snorkeling around the island. The food was delicious and the staff are super friendly and helpful! We would love to go back again.

NO, NO & NO! Massive hidden costs.
Travelers beware! It may look OK in the pictures online, but it is a classic bait and switch. Be prepared to spend an astronomical amount of money that is NOT listed or disclosed online. We stayed in an over the water cabana, which has a pretty view, but VERY cheaply built and minimally maintained. The resort is 2-2.5 stars at best, NOT 3.5 stars. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, old and sagging badly in spots. The AC barely works, and not enough to cool the tiny room. Upon arrival, we were offered the “all-inclusive” food package at an astronomical price. THERE IS NO MENTION OF THIS PRICING ON HOTELS.COM. We have stayed at other remote locations in Belize, so we understand the need for planned meals, but this was a complete ripoff. We opted for “a-la carte” meals, which ended up costing more than the inclusive package, to our absolute shock, and all for sub-par food that was at best, was buffet quality. The resort is located 8 miles off the coast which requires a round trip boat ride. We emailed the resort 3+ times to receive pricing on the boat ride, but never received a response. Other nearby islands list their boat prices very clearly. After one night, we decided to check out (and forfeit our second night stay). Upon checkout, we were hit with a massive bill for our boat ride. The manager was beyond rude, screaming at us. The resort thrives on over charging gringos and gauging guests, if that is your vibe, you will love this tourist trap.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that you did not enjoy your stay and would like to address a few concerns in this review. First, we maintain up to date room and resort photos online; the resort is “rustic chic” and much of the room décor is from recycled and reclaimed materials. We pride ourselves on a unique, barefoot casual guest experience. If you ever have any concerns with your room or AC, we are available 24/7 for maintenance and other room issues. Our online listings and rates notate that it is not inclusive of meal packages, we also send pre-arrival communication with guests reviewing meal options. For the full island experience most of our guests purchase the all-inclusive package, which includes all meals and local alcohol, along with the boat shuttle to the resort. Our all-inclusive prices are competitive with similar options across the country and if you have any feedback or requests with your meals, we encourage you to talk to us on property and we can work to accommodate with the chef. We apologize again that your experience did not live up to expectations. We hope to see you again sometime and show you the true Belize experience.

Thatch Caye is a beautiful island escape. The people there are fantastic, from Sharyn at the bar, Nelson at the tables and Darvin with the snorkeling equipment. The grounds crew is fantastic. Everyone on the island is friendly and eager to please. Loved it.

Boat transfer to the island was incredibly easy. The resort is beautiful. Easy snorkeling right off the beach in crystal clear waters with an abundance of ocean life, as well as kayaks and SUP boards to use. Many other day trip options to choose from both on the ocean and if you want to travel in on the mainland. Meals were very well prepared, fresh, and varied. Bungalow above the water was an experience like no other!

Cool experience to stay over the water. The king bed was very comfortable; however, We didn’t sleep well because storms came thru during the night and the rain and crashing waves were super loud. I know the resort has no control over that. Liked the remote feeling. This place is waaaay more rustic than advertised on their website. We decided to splurge and stay there for one night to wake up over the water for my birthday, which was also Thanksgiving. It’s not worth what they charge for one night. It could really use some sprucing up. We did not feel like we got our money’s worth for the all Inclusive price. We ended up spending over $700 US Total for one day/night. I Expected more. The ceviche appetizer at the bar was very good. Dinner was boiled potato and chicken. Breakfast was pretty good- French toast, eggs and bacon. They did not take good note of my cantaloupe allergy. No recognition of my birthday, despite staff emailing me about it before the trip. Honestly, the staff was nice, but service seemed to be a little disjointed. We had to wait about an hour and a half to leave for our trip out from the Pelican in Dangriga because we had to wait for another couple. We were given 2 totally different Conflicting explanations by staff. The most redeeming part of our experience was the 2 guys from the resort that took us by boat to Tobacco Caye (where are stay was much better value and much more satisfying, even though it’s advertised as rustic). They were great!

We appreciate you coming to the island for your birthday. Island management mentioned that they did decorate you room for your arrival. We do try to celebrate many occasions on the island and try to make everyone’s stay extra special. We wish you could have stayed longer to really get the full experience of the island. Although we were glad to have had you for at least that one night. We hope you were able to experience all the added amenities that comes in your all-inclusive package. The paddle boards, kayaks, bikes, snorkeling gear, etc. These are so much fun and such an added value to the stay. We do try to minimize our boat transfers to maximize our conservation efforts. We thank you for understanding these efforts on why there might have been a bit of a wait. Our sustainable actions really do set us apart from other hotels. For example, no longer using Styrofoam, using solar panels and wind power for energy. We hope you got to see a lot of our efforts in action while you were there as well. We do hope your birthday trip to Belize was a wonderful one. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us on your trip.

Excellent, over and above staff and service!! Loved the island, paddle boarding, relaxing in hammocks and swinging! Dinners were excellent. We only stayed 2 nights and that is probably all I would want as might get bored. FYI: you will need to purchase all inclusive package for water taxi, food and use of toys.This will double your cost. If you don't it will cost you more.

Untidy resort on a beautiful island.
Thatch Caye is an amazing place to experience but a confusing mix of services and tourism. Thatched cottages but one concrete cube available for 3 rooms did not match its surroundings, Walking to serenity point past wood working repairs and a sewage depo.. Room for improvement, but cannot fault staff. Menu limited, dietary requirements poorly catered for.

Beautiful Island Friendly Staff
This is a great place to go if you want to relax on the beach or have some fishing or snorkeling adventures. It's a very small island and meals are served family style so there's a lot of socializing with the others guests, which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. There's only wifi in the main lodge area so it's a great place to disconnect. We visited here on our honeymoon and Leslie the manager graciously upgraded us for free! All the staff are very friendly and accomodating.

Disconnected on an Island - in a good way
The island was like something imagined from a TV show or movie. It's small, with 30 guests at capacity and meals are served at set times in a community setting amongst the guests. Snacks and drinks as well as big spray, beach equipment, and most things you might need are available and included in the price of the stay. Staff was very attentive and accommodating, but not overbearing in any way. Excursions are available for signup, however we did not partake. There are various sections of the island that serve different purposes, although it's only 1 mile long, and wi-fi can only be found in the central community room. The beach is small, but nice and things were pretty quiet during the day because most people did excursions. We stayed for only a couple of days, but got exactly what we wanted out of it. No worries and complete relaxation while being taken care of by excellent staff! Thank you for the wonderful weekend!

Nice place
The rooms are small like a studio but designed so you could enjoy the outdoors more. The food was good but a la carte prices are so expensive that you have no choice but to pay the $150 per person per day package. Since the island is only accessible by small plane and boat, there is a $115 per person boat transfer fee, which is included in the all inclusive not a la carte package. There is also the expense of the small airplane. It's a very small private island but the staff was great and attentive. The resort should consider more excursions. Overall very nice trip.

Perfect place to get away from it all.
I stayed in an overwater bungalow, and surprisingly I was not in my room that often. With all the island has to offer it's very hard to get bored. Even though you are able to keep busy with all the activities I didn't get that tired feeling. Everyone on the island was very nice and the bartenders there were awesome.

Loved the staff!!! Mando and Junior were our faves, always so sweet and attentive. Ben their activity captain was very fun! The island is small and encourages everyone present to mix and mingle; we met a lot of well traveled smart people; great conversation. On our trip we had honeymooners, we had 40th Anniversary, and engagement there on the island. All in one week. Loved meeting our new friends, the disconnection was perfect.

My husband and I decided to spend our last 3 days of our Belize holidays on this island, was nicely greeted at the dock by Justin and Brooke and a few staff - accomodations were unique - very nice and clean. the staff were all so friendly and helpful. the paddleboarding and kayaking were amazing in those waters. lots of marine life. The meal plan was very good.

Way beyond basic. Camping Experience, not a resort
We stayed in Thatch Caye for few days and bought the all inclusive water villa package for a very high price tag. Very disappointed in the quality of the place. At least for that price. Pros: -Polite Staff. Nothing overboard or out of the ordinary -Good swimming water on the tip of the island Cons: -The over water hut (not a room) is way beyond basic. Bathroom Water pressure is non-existent down to trickles sometime. Hot water switches between scalding hot and freezing cold at random while showering. Toilet flush tank takes 10 minutes to reload. We found cigarette hole in the bed cover. Broken bug window screens that let bugs in. -Hut has no TV, no phone, no tissues and they don’t normally give you a key to lock your room so your valuable (if you have any) is just out there. -The food is extremely basic and limited. Camping grade food that is served only at set times in limited quantity and very poor quality. Since It was very unappetizing to me, I asked for a simple French fries but was told that the “Chef needs to get that from town in a couple of days”. Wow, too much to ask for the outrageous amount of money we paid for that place. -The Alcohol included in the all inclusive package is watered down and of very poor quality

The staff was excellent. They're super friendly, and they will do what it takes to make sure that you gave a great experience. The tours and other activities are extremely fun, and they definitely keep you busy. My favorite was the trip to Xunantunich, the Mayan Ruins. This resort for me gets a 9.5 out of 10.
