The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Excellent Gourmet Meals

The food at the resort was absolutely out of this world! There was a different menu every night that included a good array of dishes, and I particularly enjoyed the fresh and healthy seafood options. Dining at the restaurant felt like a fine dining experience each evening, and the presentation was just as impressive as the flavors.

Relaxing Oasis

The ambiance at the resort was perfect for relaxation. I spent my afternoons swimming in the ocean and then lounging by the fresh water pool. The numerous hammocks scattered around the island were my favorite spots to unwind while enjoying the gentle ocean breeze.

Best Snorkeling Experience

I was blown away by the snorkeling available right from the beach! The vibrant coral reefs and the array of marine life, including nurse sharks and eagles rays, made for an lovely underwater adventure. I also loved that the evening UV light snorkeling offered an entirely new experience after dark.

Comfortable Cabanas

I stayed in a cozy cabana that was clean and well-stocked with everything I needed. Although storage space could be improved, the personal deck with chairs offered a wonderful space for relaxing after a long day of activities. The close proximity to the water added to the experience.

We had an amazing time at Ray Caye! The island feels truly magical with gorgeous surroundings and warm ocean water. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with lovely views. The food was fantastic, especially the fish dishes, but I wish there had been more coffee options available. Overall, it was an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone considering a getaway.

My stay at Ray Caye Resort was truly a dream come true! The staff was super accommodating and the food was some of the best I've ever had. I did experience some minor issues with storage in the rooms and a few inconveniences with day visitors at the facility, which took away from the overall tranquility. But the activities available and the beautiful surroundings made it all worthwhile.

Ray Caye is a hidden gem that offers everything for an unforgettable getaway. The resort is stunning, with oceanfront views from nearly every room, and the staff makes you feel like royalty. Each meal was a culinary delight, truly a highlight of our stay. However, the biggest downside was having to say goodbye when it was time to leave; we could easily have stayed longer!

Hatchet Caye is a lovely resort with stunning views and excellent snorkelling opportunities, but it falls short with food restrictions and price concerns. The rooms offer a beautiful beach view, and the staff is genuinely nice. However, the one restaurant limits dining options, and the choppy sea conditions can be frustrating for snorkelling enthusiasts. Overall, it's a nice getaway, but I might prefer the Maldives next time due to these drawbacks.
