Thatch Caye Resort

I was sold on the over water cabins which did not disappoint. But the people I met and the staff were incredible. From pickup and drop off from day one the service and experience was top notch. The food was incredible especially the lobster and I love that we all sat together to eat bonding and forming life long friendships. The beach was pristine and I was looking for a getaway to relax and recharge and I got exactly what I wanted. I have to thank the incredible group at the resort Luis, Shakira, Charles, Jackson and Junior for their kindness and attentiveness the entire stay. Also to Raina for the awesome seaside massage! I will definitely be coming back!

My partner treated me to 4 nights at Thatch Caye for a milestone birthday – and it was absolutely awesome. From the moment we arrived, we were completely blown away – not just by the stunning natural beauty of this private island, but by the incredible team who made everything feel so special and effortless. A Huge Shoutout to the Staff! Junior at the bar is an absolute legend – totally in his element, mixing up cocktail after cocktail with a big smile and infectious energy. The drinks were dangerously delicious – my taste buds were thrilled, even if my willpower didn’t stand a chance… and yes, I’m still working off the calories (worth every one!). Shakira was another total standout – helpful, thoughtful, and absolutely hilarious. Her dry sense of humour had us in stitches. The whole team made us feel like part of the family, and the thoughtful touches (decorations and cake) for my birthday made the celebration so personal and unforgettable – especially sharing the dinner with newfound friends. Shout out to the duty manager (I wish I could remember your name!) – you were fantastic, clearly excellent at your job, and we hope your running training is going well! Everyone working on the island clearly puts their heart into making Thatch Caye the beautiful, welcoming place that it is. From front of house to behind the scenes, every single person plays a part in creating such a special experience. Kudos to each and every one of you – your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed and we really appreciated it. Eco-Luxury Done Right Thatch Caye strikes the perfect balance between barefoot luxury and authentic sustainability. The overwater bungalows are a dream – private, peaceful, and made for true relaxation. We loved just laying on the hammock watching the baby rays below us. We had to switch rooms for our last night and honestly, the second was just as fantastic. All the accommodations are private, unique, and come with killer views. The air conditioning in both rooms worked perfectly, though we mostly opted for open windows to catch the sea breeze and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Just remember: this is a remote eco-island paradise. Yes, you might see an insect or two, and no, you won’t find marble floors or gold taps – and thank goodness for that. This is simplicity done right, and it’s all the better for it. The island has a wonderfully intimate feel – like your own little slice of paradise. Food, Island Life & Activities We snorkeled and swam around the island nearly every day, often spotting rays and the amazing resident reef shark who made regular appearances. We also took out kayaks and explored at our own pace – highly recommend, especially at sunset. The cherry on top? The island dogs, Pico and Marley, often joined us. Honestly, I think they love island life even more than we did. There was never any scramble for a sunbed or a bite to eat – everything was abundant and effortlessly available, even when guests from their sister jungle lodge visited the island. You truly felt like you had the place to yourself. There was as much space and seclusion as you could possibly want, which really added to the relaxed, luxurious feel. Every meal was fresh, generous, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. There was always something to look forward to, and a great selection for vegetarians, which we really appreciated. Excursions – A Tale of Two Nights and One Awesome Day We did two evening excursions: night snorkeling and stargazing. The stargazing tour was peaceful and romantic – a slow boat ride under the stars. It didn’t venture far from the island, and we actually knew more constellations than the guide, but lying back with a bottle of bubbles and gazing at the sky was still a beautiful way to spend the evening. The night snorkel, however, was epic – sharks, rays, squid, octopus, and a night sky full of stars above. If you’re choosing between the two, go for the snorkel. Hands down. We also went on a day diving trip organised through the island. As an Aussie who lives to be on, in, or under the water, this was a highlight I was really looking forward to – and it delivered. The dive master was knowledgeable and safety-conscious, the dives were fantastic, the crew were friendly and helpful, and yes – plenty of marine life and sharks (which made me very happy!). We stopped at a nearby island for a lovely lunch, too. Highly recommended. Final Thoughts Thatch Caye isn’t just a holiday – it’s a full-on experience. With thoughtful design, a brilliant and kind-hearted team, and breathtaking natural surroundings, it’s the ideal place to unplug, reconnect, and celebrate. It was absolutely the perfect way to mark a milestone birthday. Thank you.

We loved Thatch Caye!! The staff are so accommodating and fun to talk to. The air conditioning could probably be a little better in the rooms, but I’m sure we are spoiled coming from the US. We had so much fun on the excursions fishing, lobster hunting, island hopping, etc. Food is great, you definitely won’t go hungry!

Thatch Caye Resort in the Coco Plum Island range has mastered the art of comfort on island time. Amazing food, and wonderful staff. They also have 2 dogs that are local celebrities. I really enjoyed my time in Thatch Caye. Marley the doodle joined me for my daily devotion time.

The whole island experience was five star. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on. Every single staff member we encountered was amazing. The food was excellent. The fish we caught was cooked for the group and was excellent. Booking excursions was easy. Truly an amazing experience!
