My wife and I went for a late honeymoon and had an awesome time. Kate and Ian and both wonderful people and their place is hands-down one of the best places I've stayed in the tropics. Although we went during the rainy season, we did manage to make it down the short trail, which was a real treat. Breakfasts are... More

The Hickatee Cottages are very luxurious and the grounds are a very pretty tropical garden. The owners provide excellent service. There is free pick-up and return to the cottages from Punta Gorda. A breakfast of bread and coffee and juice is included. A cooked breakfast is available at extra cost. One problem is that after breakfast there is no food... More

Just a week ago tthis evening my husband and I were enjoying a bittersweet last night at Hickatee Cottages, learning how to drum and chatting with Ian about the birds we'd seen--I wish we were still there! These are truly extraordinary accommodations in every way. The cottages (we stayed in two different ones) are simply and elegantly appointed, with subtle... More

My whole stay was a great succes. The howler monkeys were never far away and the humming birds enjoyed the sun (and rain drops from the plant leaves). My honeymoon room was comfortable with lovely outlooks and my 7.0 a.m. cuppa brought to my room was a real bonus (thanks Ian!). The accommodation was excellent and the food well above... More

One of the greatest joys is to return to a location and find it even better than the first visit! Kate and Ian Morton, owners of Hickatee Cottages in Punta Gorda, have created a lovely, eco-sensitive set of cottages out of the jungle in Belize, complete with first-rate local food. Their connections with the residents of this southern district are... More

This is a truly special place. We traveled to Hickatee with our family, including 2 teenagers, and a grandmother. Everyone of us loved the place, the food, the hospitality...but especially Kate's warmth and fabulous cooking and Ian's knowledge of the area and his wonderful sense of humor. The cottages are spacious and tastefully decorated and the grounds are lovely. We... More

A special experience, rare in Belize. Kate and Ian have created a beautiful set of cottages at great prices in gorgeous rainforest environment, just down the road from P.G. We stayed in the Honeymoon Cottage. Perfect. The meals are excellent and one can eat at P.G. restaurants as well. Don't pass on opportunity to take a day trip to Barranco... More

I am not one to write reviews but felt compelled after our brief visit to Hickatee. Kate and Ian are both wonderful people and go out of their way to make your visit to Hickatee one to remember. The cottages are clean and inviting with plenty of room to kick back and relax. There are over three miles of pathways... More
