Lovely and quiet little island, half an hour by boat from Belize city! The local team provides excellent hospitality! Many thanks to Magnoly, Daisy and Glenda for their services and support! Rodwell for spoiling us and last but not least Edwin for being such a nice and attentive Captain initiating me on my first fishing trip! Kudos to the Chef for the amazing food! This small corner of paradise is definitely unforgettable!

Shaka Caye was the most amazing island and vacation I've ever been on! From the time we got to the marina, the boat ride to the island we were greeted with a cold towel and drink and friendly staff!! Each and every staff member was AMAZING, and friendly and wanted our stay to be the best! We celebrated 2 birthdays while we were there and they all went above and beyond to make them special. From homemade birthday cakes they brought out to us while singing happy birthday, to decorating our room with palm leaves and special birthday message on the bed. At times we were the only visitors on the island so we got to explore and hang out with the staff and it was just such an awesome place to be! I would go back in a heart beat! The food was phenomenal with it being farm/sea to table, there was no food that I did not enjoy, it was all sooooo yummy! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! We love Shaka Caye and all our Shaka Caye friends!

We traveled there for a family vacation. The staff is outstanding. The location is also beautiful. My only critique would be the need of a pool and reconditioning the beach and the beach front wall. The food is outstanding. The staff is incredibly accommodating and very friendly. Definitely would highly recommend to families and or couples.

I never thought I would be able to experience a private island in the Caribbean. This place is incredibly beautiful, clean and quiet with the best service and staff. The food was absolutely amazing and all 3 meals can be served right to your cottage every day. They offer several different adventures to add on. One that we did was the private snorkeling tour with Andre at the mesoamerican barrier reef. I traveled with my elderly mother who wouldn't have been able to swim the reef, so they pulled her around with a life raft while she observed the reef. If you want a private Caribbean vacation without the crowds, book Shaka Caye. We were so pampered that we didn't want to leave.

This was such a gem! Private island with few guests made this stay such a unique experience. The service was EXCEPTIONAL and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Couldn't have asked for anything better. One note is that if you want to do anything off the island, it's a process to take a 40 min boat ride to the main land. Well worth the stay if you want to relax and stay on the beach!

Let’s just start by saying WOW. If you want breathtaking moments and one of a kind experience this is the place for you. The staff, location, amenities, everything and more. If you want to relax by yourself, have everything brought to you or have great time at the bar and dining area choice is yours. No pressure anyway you want to enjoy your stay. Everything you can need is offered (kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, sleeping under the starts listening to the waves and more) if you want tours and other adventures you’re covered. Highly recommend the stress reliever massage. Everyone is so friendly. We got to meet the captains of our boat Edwin and Andre right away with a great trip in. We were greeted with cold towels and drinks the moment we arrived. Veronica was great anything you need she has an answer and solution right away. Our bartenders Randy, Percy and Obie were stunning. With local drinks or if you don’t know what you want just ask for something or anything they want to make. These drinks were truly one of a kind. The chefs at Shaka Caye beautifully showcased Belizean cuisine as they had 2 options to choose from for every meal (my husband and I got one of each and shared everything) plus they give you a tasty snack in the afternoon. I’m going to miss my fry jack in the morning! Our first trip to Belize was truly unBELIZEable. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to end our honeymoon! We will be back for sure. Shaka Caye has made sure of that.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Shaka Caye, Belize! The staff exceeded all expectations, catering to our every need with the utmost care. Setting up excursions was a breeze—special thanks to Veronica, who was wonderfully accommodating and made sure everything was taken care of effortlessly. Our bartender and server, Percy, was outstanding! His service was impeccable, and he went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The food was delicious and truly elevated, keeping us excited for every meal with its variety and high quality. The warmth and kindness of the staff made the experience feel like we were among family. Their genuine care was so refreshing. The island itself is stunning—peaceful, tranquil, and a slice of paradise. We loved the activities too, with kayaks and snorkeling gear provided, making it easy to explore the beauty around us. Shaka Caye is more than just a resort; it’s an escape to paradise created by the most authentic, caring people. We can’t wait to come back!

Our stay was excellent! Requests made in advance for services and a special birthday surprise were all easily accommodated. The bartender/waiter became our best friend by the end of the trip. The food? Chef's kiss! Every single meal was either delightful or delicious. Every staff member we met was incredibly friendly. We were the only guests on the island, and everyone still made it special. It was completely safe and relaxing. A tip for drinkers: We supplemented our liquor from the airport duty-free store and were able to use it for our cocktails.

Shaka Caye was exactly what we wanted and needed from our vacation. My husband and I have never been so relaxed while vacationing. No real schedule, low key, breathtaking location, staff takes a minute to warm up to you, but we understand they are trying to gage how much or how little you want to socialize. We enjoyed getting to know each and every one. Bryan, George and Logan were our favorite servers. Rodney and Percy were our favorite bartenders. Veronica and Fiona were amazing from the reservations to email communications. Gigi, the best chef ever! Her table side manner was impeccable from the explanation of the food options and preparations to the next meal options. She even fished for us one afternoon because we were one of two couples onsite. What a treat!! The maintenance crew could pay closer attention to detail, as my husband picked up a few screws and nails on the island. The re was a flapping vent we could hear at night, but I am admittedly a light sleeper. We opened up all the widows during the day to allow the perfect island breeze flow throughout our villa. Thank you to all of the Shaka Caye team for making it a place we will dream about until we return!!

This was a vacation of a lifetime. The resort is very small and quiet. The service is excellent. I worked with Jacob prior to our arrival and he went above and beyond to meet our expectations. Edwin can take you on an adventure that you will never forget. His knowledge and personality made it so much fun. The chef was amazing, every meal he cooked was delicious. Now Hector…this guy…he made all our drinks, delivered food to our room, brought coffee when asked. He is a character and writes the menu options out daily (it was the highlight to see what he would come up with). Everyone on the island treated us great. Made sure we had everything we needed and then some. Beachfront is the way to go, the views you can’t beat. Romantic dinner on the beach is a must. Book the trip with Edwin to go to Caye Caulker for a day. It was so much fun. There was only 2 other couples there when we were and we became friends and went to Caye Caulker together. The staff set up a bonfire, found all of us our own crabs to have races, gave us a firework display. Just Amazing! Book it and enjoy. We plan on going back for sure.

We had a wonderful time at Shaka Caye. The staff was amazing and very welcoming. We happened to be the only guests for our stay and they never once made us feel like we were inconveniencing them. Instead, they said, don’t feel bad, the island is all yours! How cool! We reef snorkeled and went to Caye Caulker, all of which I would recommend as our guide was fantastic. We also got great massages, ate great food and drinks. Anything we would have asked for, the staff would have made it happen. We felt incredibly safe with our 4 year old running around as well. We highly recommend this resort!
