I liked the design and aesthetics of the property. I loved how the staff was so friendly and helpful. They made sure I had everything I needed. They were proactive and reached out to me to let me know the best way to get to the resort. The food at the restaurant was amazingly delicious. I would highly recommend El Bin if you are traveling to Belize.

We absolutely loved staying here. The staff is friendly and will accommodate absolutely anything you ask for. They have golf carts to take you around wherever you want. The cabanas are very clean and have an air conditioner which we really appreciated. We ate almost every meal at the restaurant, best drinks and food in town! Can’t recommend enough

The property was nice but just outside the entrance was trash and some sketchy people living there. I wouldn’t advise Walking back from the split at night. Call the resort and they will pick you up. Service was great especially Tyra who was so helpful and sweet. Restaurant and bar manager, Melvin made the best drinks! Food was great at the restaurant.

We had a good time staying at El Ben. The food and drinks at the restaurant were excellent. The property is beautiful, peaceful and well kept. The rooms were well maintained with comfortable beds and good AC. However there are a few things I wish I would have known before staying here: To get from El Ben to the South Island (where literally EVERYTHING is) it is a process. They do offer options like their own ferry to the water taxi or golf cart to the split however there are specific times, locations, advance notice requirements, etc., and we found the reliability to be somewhat inconsistent. If you have a lot of activities or want to be somewhere walkable, better to stay on the South Island. We also found inconsistencies in the service. They responded to WhatsApp texts quickly most of the time which was nice especially with coordinating transportation. But upon checkin they didn’t really inform us of how things worked or what they offered etc, we just had to figure things out for ourself. Some of the restaurant staff were very friendly while others were pretty blunt. We also had to request a cleaner to come to get dishes from room service but they never came (had dishes in the room for 1.5 days). Overall, El Ben provided a nice place for us to stay on Caye Caulker but we did encounter quite a few minor inconveniences.

Amazing place! The location is beautiful, well maintained with excellent staff. We loved the food and the access to secluded beaches in north island of Caye Caulker. Staying here does need some planning with their boat schedule to get you to and from the South Island which you will need to travel to for various tours, ferry or airport but the boat trip is 5-6 minutes.
