From the greeting upon arrival to the complimentary boat rides to the south end of the island. Our (My husband and two kids [13, 7] and I)stay at El Ben was our best stay out of all our vacays/trips. The cabana feel was extraordinary! Very authentic and gave the perfect vibes to what we were looking for in a stay in Belize! Love how all the furniture and little things were made out of this beautiful type of sturdy, good quality wood, from the toilet paper holder to the floor, and chairs. The restaurant is definitely a FIVE STAR in my book. Every single meal was made to perfection! The pools were clean, grounds around the property kept clean, and it's the perfect place for some R&R/peace and tranquillity. Shout out to Mr. Adrien for getting us back and forth from the south to north end, THANK YOU GUYS at the El Ben Cabanas!

The staff were all great, the cabanas were very cute and comfortable, and the AC worked great! Getting back and forth across the split took some planning but was worth it for the quietness and secluded feeling of the property.

My family and I stayed for one night and very sad we did not stay longer. The property is beautiful. The food is delicious! Everything we ate tasted so yummy. The staff is so friendly and made our stay even better. We had a chance to meet one of the owners and she was incredibly sweet. I saw several locals come up to her while we were waiting for the water taxi and everyone loved her. We cannot wait to come back and see all the new things they have planned for this beautiful property.

Thank you to the Staff of El Ben Cabanas… everyone was so accommodating, from the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. The room are beautifully done to compliment the island vibes and the grounds are so beautiful with all the different tropical plants. The restaurant food was delicious as well as the cocktails. We’ve been going to Caye Caulker for over 20 years and we usually stay on the other side of the split where there’s more activity and partying, this is now our new place to stay, I will not stay anywhere else. Access to the other side of the split is very easy, so when we wanted more activity the Hotel arranged a cart to take use to the Split Fairy, which is only a two minute ride across. Love El Ben Cabanas
