St. George's Caye Resort

We had a great time, and would definitely come again! If you are looking for a low-key, not-overly touristy, and personalized experience, I highly recommend you stay here. First, the small size of the resort and island, and the personal service provided by the staff, made for a really nice vibe. The experience was personalized for us each day. The staff are all very friendly and flexible. They each worked hard to ensure that we had what we needed and enjoyed ourselves. We did diving, snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, swimming in the pool, and reading on the hammock on the docks. The staff were very knowledgeable. The dive master and snorkeling guides were top-notch. Everything we did and in every service provided was thoughtfully provided. There was a relatively small number of guests (10-25 depending on the day) and we ate all meals together. The guests were all adults (ages 30-70), who were here for something particular, like celebrating a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, or spending time with a loved one. We were able to get to know a few people, and because we could regularly interact, it wasn't all "small talk" with strangers. At the same time, it was easy to disappear and be on our own. Don't bother with fancier dress—keep it light and comfortable. Note that we came at the edge of the busy season, and so weren't able to do a mainland excursion (they require a minimum number to go) so keep that in mind when planning when to come. The island is small and narrow. It is hot here, but you can be on the windward side and the constant ocean breeze keeps things pleasant. The leeward side gets a bit hotter and you are more likely to encounter mosquitos around dawn, dusk, and evening so bug spray is a good idea. Bring sunscreen and cover up if you are sailing snorkeling, or kayaking. There are animals everywhere. We saw sharks, manatees, dolphins, rays, eels, lobster, and many varieties of fish while snorkeling, sailing, and off of the dock. We watched birds including a trio of pelicans, a flock of cormorants, grackles, and other little birds. There are little land crabs and hermit crabs that come out at night so bring a light to ensure you don't step on them.

Place was very secluded and private. If relaxing is what you like this is perfect. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Food was delicious every meal. You eat with the other handful of couples at the resort. Beaches and water could be a little cleaner but loved our stay . We also did two excursions (cave tubing and Mayan ruins ) both were great , although pretty expensive

Incredible island, amazing staff, delicious food…St. George Caye Resort will not disappoint! Great fishing with experienced guides, spectacular diving with a world class dive master, and exploring much of what Belize has to offer with their knowledgeable guides and boat drivers. They even have a wide variety of rooms to choose from. Special thanks to bartender Elmer(Tabo) for keeping us entertained, never letting our drinks go empty, and just being an amazing friend throughout our trip. His drinks are first class, he keeps his bar spotless, and I don’t think he knows the word no. Also thank you to Amilkar (Milkey) who is always cheerful and outgoing, never failing to go above and beyond in all that he does. St George Caye Resort is a place you don’t want to miss.

About the site: In a nice small island, close to Belize City (only ½ h boat transfer), nice garden with beautiful vegetation and coconut trees. We were welcomed in a military like briefing, allowing no space to any kind of personalised stay conditions: strict timings and tightly organised life “like a family”, which was absolutely not predictable from the presentations. Except from this welcoming Sargent, staff is very nice and helpful (as long as you respect all the briefing). If you look for a sandy beach, this will not be possible in this mangrove environment. The sundeck is fine gravel, and you must go to the pontoon for a dive or a swim. The pool is nice and leads to another gravel deck ending with a transition to the mangrove mud where you pick up the kayaks. About the room: we were in a building probably from the 40’s, spacious rooms, no chair, huge empty fridge. Room cleaning was perfect. However, the room (Coral) is part of a set of 3 opened on a common space, and we could profit from the walking around and the talking from our neighbours … We have not visited the over the water cabanas, but those were contiguous to a very noisy installation (we measured 75DbA). Better know before choosing those. Coconuts are falling from the trees, so we were lucky to avoid a couple of them as they fell very close. No maintenance was seen o avoid such potential accidents. About the food: Breakfast fruit offer is weak, you must ask insistingly for tea if you want to avoid office like coffee, it needs 3 times to get your eggs well cooked and no juice is served (only with the early morning service) We took no lunch as it was too heavy and not attractive We had previously indicated that, although we may have some meat, we have a strong preference for fish and vegetables. However, at the end it is only same service for everybody. It is incredible to be in the middle of Caribbean fishy waters and to be served 80 to 90% meat at the diner (in fact we only got, once on 5 times, frozen shrimp …). Set menus are not to the level of any Paradise and are essentially meant to fill your stomach. Maybe farm to plate, but processing is summer camp like, served at fixed timing to a large common noisy table where no privacy is allowed. It is mentioned in the leaflet “complimentary snacks are available throughout the day”, which were not offered when we asked.

When we first arrived we were a little worried because the resort was smaller than we expected. The next day that all changed! The staff at this resort goes above and beyond to give you the best service! They call you by name, remember your favorite drink and all with a smile! Elmer and Jose were on the top of that list for great service! The food is delicious! I would say the best of all inclusive resorts we have stayed at. Just so you know; meals are all sitting together with all guests at specified times. Some guests did not read that on their website and didn't like it. You can relax and do nothing if you like or book excursions. We will be returning to this resort again.
