Cottages in Toledo District

"The overall appearance of the hotel is beautiful and the staff were very welcoming. We were greeted with a welcome sign, and received a complimentary drink upon being taken to our cabana. The manager Valerie was wonderful and recommended a waterfall for us to visit that elevated our experience in Belize. There is a restaurant, bar, cafe, as well as kayaks, bikes and guest parking. One con was the distance- it’s a while away from where all the activities, restaurants and shop hubs are; about a 25-30 minute drive. Another issue we encountered were big bugs finding their way into in our cabana so if you have a fear of bugs like us that’s something to keep in mind."

"We loved the boutique aspects of the resort. It was small but has the big resort amenities. Comfortable and updated Villas, grounds were clean and well taken care of, the staff was gracious and very attentive. We ran into the owner a couple of times and he was very friendly. We loved this place and will plan to go back in the near future. "

"Great place right on the beach "

"The peace and serenity along with the wonderful accommodations of the Belizean Nirvana made our stay in Placencia a time to remember. The room was incredible and the proximity to all the shops and restaurants was unparalleled. 10/10 would stay here again. "

"Staying here was by far one of the best vacation experiences. The hospitality was amazing. Dion, Natalie, Locho, and everyone else that we met while On property went above and beyond the normal. I can’t recommend Chabil enough and will definitely be coming back! "

"We recently traveled to Punta Gorda with our two young children and had an wonderful stay at the Hickatee. The off-grid property is not far from town but feels like a peaceful retreat in the jungle. We loved hearing howler monkeys! The grounds include a jungle path where you can explore and look for wildlife, a small splashing pool the kids loved, and a relaxing sitting area nearby. You also have access to the main house where you can cook for yourself, make coffee, use the fridge, relax and play games. The cottages were charming and comfortable. There’s no air conditioning, but we didn’t miss it. The only small issue we had was regulating the water temperature in the shower.Our host, Allison, was fantastic. Before we arrived, she helped us arrange all of our tours, which made planning so much easier. Once we arrived, she kept us updated about the tours. Her communication made everything feel effortless. One of the highlights of staying at the Hickatee is access to the butterfly farm. It’s a fascinating experience where you can learn about the life cycle and business of butterflies. We also opted for the meal plan and are so glad we did. Allison is a wonderful cook and went above and beyond to accommodate our family’s food allergies and intolerances. I never had to worry about reactions, and honestly, I haven’t eaten that well in a long time.Hickatee felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!"

"Truly stellar pool with three areas of different depths. This allowed children to play more freely while parents enjoyed the pool. Only complaint was limited food options with highly variable quality. Note this area of Placencia has lots of sea grass and sargassum that washes up on the beaches daily. So depending on your level of comfort swimming in and around it, you may not be able to use the ocean. When it decays it smells heavily of sulfur. "

"Had lots of little bugs in our villa. Could use a few more railings as floors get slippery when wet. Food was excellent. Beach was beautiful but found a few glass and plastic bottle pieces in sand, Not good for bare feet. 2 lovely and clean pools for non sea swimmers. Would recommend this resort."

"Great to be right in the water "
