“Good for the Money, not the most quiet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

My stay there went fine, It is next to the only bar that can stay open till 3am. As long as you are wanting to stay up and party it is a great location. The bar is not crazy loud but you can hear it. The staff was friendly, the rooms basic but fans worked well and it was adequate. It has hot water and I would ask for a downstairs room as they are larger. The internet is not great but available and free. for anyone who said they did not get a password in other reviews it was given to me with no problems the code is Belize1981.

Room Tip: Ask for a downstairs room they are larger. I stayed in room 8 and the fans worked well. As did every...

“You get what you pay for”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

This is a super cheap concrete dump with lumpy beds. It is like staying in an old bunker. Our room didn't have anything in the way of luxuries, including a towel rack, toilet paper holder, fridge...It is dark, dank and dingy with sand everywhere. The overhead fans are extremely old and look as if they are about to fly off the ceiling. The only bright spot was the young man at the check in counter. Danny was super friendly and courteous. We enjoyed him greatly.

Room Tip: Use a different hotel.

“Budget Accomodation With Bugs”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel is great for the budget traveller. Cheap rooms compared to most other hotels on the island. Good location right across from the water and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. If you get up to use the bathroom in the night though you will notice a cockroach infestation. We killed 6 the first night and when we asked to move rooms the next day and explained why the staff seemed completely aware of the problem and told us all the rooms would be the same. That kind of ruined the experience for me.

“Cheap beach front hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

The hotel is a good option on Caye Caulker if you are looking for budget accommodations. We stayed for around $20 US a night in a double room on the upper floor, no air conditioning. The rooms are fairly clean, there is salt build up on the bathroom taps and shower heads. The staff were helpful enough, and there is a small courtyard in the front with a few hammocks and benches to sit and relax. The best part about the hotel is that it is directly across from the water (as most of the hotels on Caye Caulker are) and its in front of where the "budget man" sets up his food stand. $6 US for a plate of curry lobster with rice and vegetables!

I'd recommend this hotel for travelers who are on a budget but don't want to stay in a hostel. If you're looking for a hostel Tina's is the place to be.
