No beach area, no place to put the kayaks. Not enough beach chairs around the pool. Dining was good, and dining staff were very friendly as were housekeeping and the boat captain

This resort is amazing. Very sweet cabanas as well as a gorgeous beachside property. If I were to go back to Caye caulker I would choose to stay on the south side rather than the north - however el ben had a complimentary private boat on a pretty frequent schedule going back and forth so it wasn’t too much of a problem that there wasn’t much going on around the resort.

Resort was beautiful, staff was wonderful and accommodating. We were hesitant about staying on the North side of The Split but worked out great. There were no resorts or hotels that compared to El Ben on the South side and between the El Ben boat and the rides to The Split, it ended up being no problem to be on the North. Plus it's much quieter. Highly recommend!

Was so beautiful…and was so easy to go across the Split to the South end. They give you a ride anytime on their golf cart to ferry…and you call them when you come back. The restaurant was absolutely outstanding. Wonderful dinner selections, great drinks and very, very reasonable prices. Not expensive! Really no beach to speak of…but there is a beach down the road with chairs and they will take you there. Love the customer service!!!!

Five stars isn’t enough for El Ben Cabanas. Our cabana was decorated beautifully for our anniversary upon arrival. The staff was so friendly and attentive and welcoming. The location is very accessible from the more active areas of the island but it’s separate enough that it’s nice and quiet all the time. My morning coffee on the porch watching the sunrise and listening to the birds was the perfect start to each day. Bikes, golf carts and water taxi were available to get around, no issues. Property was perfectly manicured, clean and beautiful. Sadie (housekeeping/room decorator extraordinaire!) and Melvin were especially wonderful but the entire staff was top notch. Already planning our next visit. Thank you, El Ben!!!
