Cocotal Inn And Cabanas

Me and my wife stayed at the very first cabana and it was great. We have been to Belize 5 times before. The property was clean, the staff were wonderful and very accommodating. The was some noise in the morning from the land next door, but nothing ridiculous. There is a restaurant right next door that served good food. The dock was awesome to fish from or just relax in the hammocks provided. The view of the ocean and reef was great. The people is what makes this place absolutely worth visiting.

Goegeous, clean, well-cared for property. The property manager Ben made sure we had a taxi to pick us up at the water taxi and drop us back on departure. The rooms are meticulously clean, spacious, and there is a pool for a cool down dip, and a dock / beachfront for getting some sun. Most of the east island side is not where you’ll swim in the ocean, but the west side is a ~30 min trip across by golf cart to Secret Beach. Good restaurant and cafe selection nearby, with ATM a 10 min walk and a market a 5 min walk. During the week, there’s a barge that will unload at the building materials company next door 2-3 mornings around 6:30am-7:00am, but we didn’t find it an issue as we were awake by then. If you’re a light sleeper into late mornings, a set of foam earplugs will let you sleep through. Weekends weren’t an issue. Someone mentioned wanting a restaurant onsite…there are so many places to eat that there are too many places already. A few min down the road and you’ve got every type of food imaginable. Note that WiFi anywhere on the island is slow, and LTE 4G cellular is the best mobile speed you can hope for. Definitely would stay at Cocotal again!

This is a cute, mostly out-of-the-way place that's nice and quiet. It's about 2ish miles north of town. We stayed in one of the cabanas on the waterfront which is nice. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. Use of bikes and kayaks is free, which is great. We made liberal use of the bikes, taking them all over the whole island (I think they also have locks, but we brought one). I took a kayak out to the reef once to snorkel, but there wasn't much out there so I didn't go again. The pool here is great for cooling off after a day out on the bikes. Our room was clean and comfy and had a kitchen, so we made a few meals here so we wouldn't be eating out every night. Having a fridge is nice so we could take home leftovers and nuke them the next day for lunch. Overall, a good place to relax on vacation. I only wish they had a restaurant onsite (there are some close by).

We’ve been coming to Cocotal for about 7 years. Switched our beach vacation from Playa del Carmen due to to much of everything. International tourism, harassing vendors etc. Belize and specifically Cocotal got us back to vacation mode. There’s a great team led by Ben and now his son Justin has joined, who give us the best service we can ask for. Peace and quiet and a pooch or two to pet. We love the quiet and it’s as a bunch of people said, very convenient to get to downtown and up north if you want. We’re birders so north is a fantastic place to see snowy egrets, lots of herons, osprey, and an occasional woodpecker. We’re looking again for a flock of parakeets but they’re very elusive.

A little gem on a very developed island. Ben and his team were so helpful and always with a smile. We visited with our daughter and her family. The resort was ideal for a multi generational Christmas. The grandchildren were so excited that there was a Christmas tree in the apartment on their arrival. Thank you Yahaira for organising. A fabulous place to stay. Close enough to town but in a secluded location.

My partner and I stayed here first week in March. It was so perfect!!! Our little garden cabana had everything we needed. A full kitchen and fridge was a plus. Everything was so clean and our dishes were always washed and drying when we got back from a day out. The caretaker, Ben, was so kind and welcoming. We loved seeing the beautiful birds and butterflies out our window everyday, and getting some greetings from Ben's dog, Jeff. This was the perfect distance from town (about a 10 min golf cart ride) and a nice little oasis for some peace and quiet by the water. We never got to use the kayaks and bikes but it was so nice how they provided them for free. You have to stop by the Truck stop nearby! Great food and live music. We would definitely stay here again, and hopefully are back soon!!! 10/10!!!

Absolutely the cutest place on the island and the cabanas are amazing. They have everything you need. Definitely will be back.

We stayed at the Inn - it was incredibly comfortable and very close to the beach. We had wonderful morning walks along the beach every day - just gorgeous. This was a great spot for the hubby & me. We loved that we were a little out of the crowds. A golf cart handled all of our trips to the various spots we wanted to see. |The staff was so accommodating and helped with any questions or requests. There are kayaks, and bicycles for use. If you're staying more than 3 days get a golf cart for the week.
