Ray Caye Island Resort

We recently honeymooned at Ray Caye and it was a vacation we will never forget! They coordinated some of the tougher travel details for us, including a short flight from Belize City to Placencia and the boat ride out to the island. We didn't have to lift a finger. Upon arrival, it felt like there was always a staff member there for anything we needed, without being too overbearing. Even though it was technically the 'off season', the weather was perfect for us every day. We were able to scuba dive and snorkel, all easily arranged by the dive shop. We gave them a preferred day/time, and they made it happen! The food at the Lionfish Grill was amazing. Breakfast and Lunch stayed the same with several great options and the dinner menu changed every night. The staff working there learned our names almost immediately, and made coming in for mealtime enjoyable. Everyone on the island was super knowledgeable about all it had to offer, and it was fun getting to know several of the staff members and what they enjoyed doing when they were off shift. It was a perfect vacation for us, and I would recommend Ray Caye for a weeklong trip like a honeymoon or even for a quick couple day getaway. I hope to go back!

Ray Caye Island Resort was a little slice of heaven for us! My husband and I went for our 30th anniversary and stayed in the honeymoon suite, which I would highly recommend for its privacy and amazing view. We had our own private splash pool, and we were steps away from reclining by the ocean. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond to take care of us during our stay! The drinks and food were delish! The excursions were awesome! The best snorkeling I have ever experienced, and fishing was so fun, including catching a record-size barracuda. We could socialize as much as we wanted, but also enjoy some alone time. This definitely a five-star experience and worth every penny! Next time we're bringing friends and family!

We loved our stay at Ray Caye. Wherever you are on the island the views are stunning, and you never get used to it. Throughout our trip we would stop and marvel at the views in different corners of the island and at different times of the day. The staff are also lovely and made us feel like home. From the boating trip to the island, to the restaurant crew, and all the people working on the island, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the honeymoon suite—the view from our room was breathtaking, and waking up to the sound and sight of the ocean each morning was a dream. The whole space felt serene and private, it was so nice to come back to that comfort after being out in the water all day. The restaurant has a different menu every night and all the meals were excellent. We arrived right around the lobster season opening, so we were fortunate to try a couple of amazing lobster dishes. Our favorite part was swimming and snorkeling around the island. It has its own little reef section where you can snorkel straight from the island, swim on the reef, and marvel at all the marine life. If you enjoy snorkeling, I would also recommend the tour at the Silk Cayes and Turtle Spot. This was my favorite experience of our stay at Ray Caye, and I would definitely recommend it. All around an amazing experience, and we can’t wait to visit again. The island is like a postcard, the food amazing, the people are genuine, and the sea and sea life stunning.

Ray Caye is far more than just a beautiful island resort.||Yes, the island itself is immaculate. The bungalows are perfect, the food is delicious, and the island activities are outstanding. All of that is immediately obvious, even to the most casual guest.||But what makes Ray Caye truly exceptional goes far deeper than what you can see on the surface.||At the heart of the island is a dedicated and close-knit staff — many of whom have been with the resort for over a decade. What you need to understand is that when you visit Ray Caye, you’re not just a guest. For the brief time you’re there, you’re welcomed like family.||That’s what sets this place apart.||If you’re looking for an absolutely beautiful, peaceful place to relax… maybe have a little adventure out on the reef… and possibly even make lifelong friends with the incredible people who call this island home — Ray Caye is exactly where you want to be.

This place was absolutely incredible. My wife and I went a couple weeks ago for our honeymoon and could not have chosen a better destination. It takes a little extra effort to get there (you fly into Belize City and then take a small airplane to Placencia where a boat takes you to the island) but that adds to the mystique and is definitely worth it. From start to finish we loved everything. I had slight reservations going into it that there was only 1 restaurant to eat at. I cook at home a ton and eat out a lot so I have relatively high expectations but this kitchen was unreal. Breakfast and lunch menu is the same every day but there were several options I wanted to try that I didn’t even get around to in the 6 days we were there. Dinner menu is different every night and every option was delicious. I would come back for the food alone but the staff is what makes this place truly special. Floret, Noe, Franklin (Benjamin Franklin), Pablo (Pablito, The Beast), and Barnaby were the group taking care of us while we were there and they could not have been more lovely to be around. Honeymoon suite was insane. We snorkeled with sharks and sting rays. We will be returning with friends in the future❤️

Everything about this stay was spectacular. The island is beautiful, the room was immaculate, and the staff steals the show. From management, to the bartenders/restaurant staff, to the grounds keepers - super friendly and just overall great people. So much fun to be had on and off the island (or just relax if that’s your thing), but that REEF! It surrounds the island and so alive and colorful! We spent hours just drifting it with snorkel and mask. This was our 20th anniversary trip but can’t wait to come back with the kids!

This place was worth every penny spent. My wife wanted a 10 year anniversary vacation trip different from cruises we've been on and Ray Caye exceeded her expectations. I had a different location booked that had to cancel my reservation unexpectedly so I found this one by accident and we are both glad it worked out the way it did. The honeymoon suite is the way to go, it has the best views. The staff is amazing, the food is delicious, my wife loved the drink choices, and the views are priceless. It was the perfect break we needed, you really are on island time here. It's a nice change of pace and relaxation truly at it's finest, you will not be disappointed! We will definitely be repeat customers and already planning our next trip back.

This place is a true gem, one of the absolute BEST vacations i've been on. My Mom and I stayed here for 6 nights and its was a dream. The staff were warm, very attentive, treated us like queens and answered all of our many questions about the island. Grateful for such a kind reception from the moment we stepped off the boat, thank you to: Freddie, John, Francisco/Where-O, Aileen, KayKay and France, you all made our stay absolutely fantastic and we can't wait to come back. The food was delicious and plentiful, the drinks were divine, the cabana was clean and with the most amazing view. They take such good care of the grounds, raking the sand everyday and we didnt get a single bug bite! Boat ride to and from the island with our captain, Evel, was also top notch. The staff (Where-O!) made us a bonfire on the beach for our last night and it was such a memorable time looking up at the stars and with the waves lapping at the shore. We were sad to leave but can't wait to return. Highly recommend!
