We loved this place. We had the upper cabana which is a simple room without AC but a ceiling fan and oscillating fan kept us plenty comfortable. We loved the hammock and chair on the front porch. And the mini frig was perfect for keeping drinks and fruit for breakfast. This is a great little place with bikes to rent... More

De Real Macaw is a great little "island" hotel in the thick of it all. The rooms were as advertised and Rob & Jessie are super-nice owners. The only drawback to the location is there are tons of people selling stuff on the streets near that part of the island, but if you are lookin' for some nice items to... More

Everything is within walking distance on Caye Caulker, so the location of a place doesn't really matter, but De Real Macaw is still in the middle of things right on the more interesting stretch of the island (Noise not an issue however). WiFi and A/C worked fine, the only thing that bothered us was the fact that we got eaten... More

De Real Macaw is north of the water-taxi along Front Street (actually a sand path, no shoes necessary) which is the part of the Caye that we liked most because it is closer to "the split". The water at the split is turquoise and has a great wood-shack bar with tables in the water. A great place to relax and... More

We had the oceanfront house on the second floor overlooking the street. We loved hanging out on the balcony and watching all the traffic walk by on the street. The shower had lots of hot water. Loved that. The whole place was Belizean funky, but after a week, we loved it. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else Also, close... More

The sea view cabins might be a little bit of a stretch of the word "view" but it was still good value for money. The small porch does provide a view of the passing street traffic and the sea beyond. Better still, the sea breeze is unhindered and we used it to cool the cabin almost every day and night,... More

Booked for 3 nights, stayed for an extra one. Lovely place, top quality air con, great location, good quality fridge. Best thing was the owner Rob and his recommendations (e.g. An old guy called Juni for the snorkeling trip). Very friendly welcoming place. We stayed in two different rooms, both very nice and with top quality showers in each. Definitely... More

For $30 per nite this is a good value cottage accommodation on Caye Caulker. The place is basic and has everything you need. It attracts other guests that are also looking for basci accommodation so you can meet like minded people. More

Rob, Jesse, and Angel were the best. Very friendly, beautiful dog, and some great fellow guests. I stayed in the budget room, but it was perfect. Most times when I was around, I would sit out at the picnic tables and chat with fellow guests. I highly recommend to those who believe that part of traveling is meeting new and... More
