Hatchet Caye is a small caye off the coast of Southern Belize. It's a resort that also opens it's restaurant to boaters. This is truly a little slice of PARADISE! For boaters and fishermen in the area, a stop in at the bar or restaurant on Hatchet Caye is an incredible treat. The food and drinks are great and reasonably... More

we stayed in april and had the most amazing honeymoon. I can't imagine being anywhere else. It has the best of both worlds (remote enough to enjoy nature, but with filtered water and AC for those of us who need some luxury). It was so nice to be on this private island, surrounded by fish, turtles, and so many activites... More

My husband and I were looking for a special place to celebrate our 25th anniversary and it didn't take long to figure out that Hatchet Caye was the perfect choice. We spent 12 glorious days on this tiny island in April and never got "island fever". It was definitely a good sign when we saw dolphins on our boat ride... More

My husband and I have been to several caribbean destinations. Hatchet Caye is our new all time favorite. The staff is so friendly and personable. The food is AMAZING! The Island itself is beautiful, small and intimate yet plenty to do, or not to do. The coral life around the island is healthy and lots of fish, etc. to see... More

I had no idea that I could feel so at home so far away from home on an island. By the end of day 2 I was calling it home. I found myself saying things like "when we get back home", and I meant to the room. Everything from the friendly staff, to the awe inspiring views, to the awesome... More

I planned this vacation for hubby and I but kept the destination a secret from him. He was most pleasantly surprised! I think the small plane and boat ride to get there had him wondering if I was planning to return home with him though! I just reminded him that it was part of the adventure of this get away.... More

For some reason we were put in the main house instead of one of the bungalows like the other guests who purchased the same Groupon package. They were painting so we had men outside our windows each day and no where to hang out by the water. The deck was shared by the path up to the crows nest so... More

Thank you Kari for your candid review. The 'main house' as we call Room 9 is either a love it or hate it type of unit it seems. Some of our repeat guests request this unit for the extra space and the privacy as it is not on the main path while others feel it is out of the way... More

My husband and I just returned from a 6 night stay at Hatchet Caye. It was wonderful! The staff are very friendly and really go the extra mile to ensure that your stay is a memorable one. We stayed in room 7, which has its own private beach at the far end of the island. The food was excellent and... More

My husband and I decided to go to Hatchet Caye for our Honeymoon to have that "middle of nowhere" feel and get a complete break from reality! And boy did we ever!

Visited this paradise for our honeymoon. the mrs didn't want to leave, pretty much had to drag her off the island. it is simply beautiful. Our days started with a great breakfast, then off to the beach for some snorkeling, scuba or kayaking. then some lunch (lionfish tacos were GREAT!), after a nap in the hammocks, some more snorkeling around...
