What Makes St. George's Caye So Unique? |
In a world filled with millions of travel destination possibilities, what makes St. George's Caye so worth visiting? In one word, "experience". As a secluded island resort, with access to the mainland, and other neighboring cayes, we pride ourselves on authenticity, and the freedom to do as much or as little as you wish. Just read this review and learn more about the magic of St. George's Caye. Just check out this detailed review from one of our guests below and learn more about the beautiful details. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our experience at St George's Caye was nothing short of perfect. As I followed their social media for nearly a year leading up to our visit, they exceeded all our expectations plus some. |
We stayed in an over-water cabana, which I highly recommend, although all the cabanas looked perfect. We did learn that if you keep the bathroom door closed, the room stayed much cooler. A tray of coffee, tea and juice is waiting for you outside your door every morning. I loved sitting on our porch with my coffee (which was delicious) listening to all the birds and watching the fish splash around.
The food was absolutely amazing! You get a made to order breakfast at your leisure, from which you have a menu to choose from. Then, a set lunch and a set four-course dinner. I'm gluten sensitive and they accommodated my dietary restrictions with ease. You will not be disappointed by a single thing served. The guys in that kitchen have truly mastered their craft.
Excursions were seamless and everything is taken care of ahead of time. We did the Mayan Ruins, which was breathtaking. Cornell met us with plaintain chips, which was cool. He took us to our guide, Isidrio, who was probably the best tour guide we could have asked for! We also did snorkeling at the reef. There were a lot of first-timers, including myself, and Freddie made us all feel so comfortable and safe. He knew the best spots and made sure mother nature put on a show for us. He was fantastic.
Each captain we had made our boat rides comfortable. Our last day was a little windy. Our captain took a detour through the mangroves to make for a smoother ride.
Saving the best for last, the entire staff is really what makes this place so special. They make you feel more like a friend than just some tourist passing through. We interacted most with Elmer and he really made our vacation something special. He made sure all of our wants and needs were accommodated, got to know us, played great music and kept our drinks flowing. Elmer, we'll be back to see you! Jose at the bar was great too. He told us about some of the island's history when i asked about pictures at the bar. And he is the man to ask about the puzzles. If you go, you'll know. The gals in the office, Jahnene and Iris, took care of all the financials and it was so nice to finally meet them after months of communication.
Note: at the end of your stay, suggested gratuity is on the entire stay. This is because it is shared with all the employees. This is something we weren't accustomed to and wish we had known before hand. We'll be better prepared next time because they definitely deserve it.
Overall, I wish I could give more than 5 stars. It was better than we could have asked for, and we're already planning our return.
