Ray Caye Island Resort

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.

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!

My family stayed at Ray Caye in early March 2025. Everything about the resort exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly welcoming and warm. The Lionfish Grill absolutely blew us away. The food was super tasty, the menu had variety, and the service was a genuine pleasure. Our room (we stayed in an Oceanfront Villa) was spectacular. ||But you come to Ray Caye for the water adventure, and it did not disappoint. We did five dives over two days (including a night dive) and saw absolutely everything (eels, turtles, rays, grouper, barracuda, lobster). Even the snorkeling around Silk Cayes between dives was filled with eagle rays, sting rays, and loggerhead turtles. The underwater highlight was the nurse sharks that followed us around during the dives like puppies, hoping to snack on lionfish. ||Because the Caye is only 10 minutes from the barrier reef we could finish up a two-tank dive by lunch and have the afternoon to enjoy fishing, kayaking, and sailing around the island. The staff are laid back and make it easy to enjoy yourself at whatever pace you choose. This place is truly magical.

EVERYTHING about our stay at Ray Caye was nothing less than perfect. All of the staff went out of their way to make you feel special and at home. Every meal we had was exceptional and unexpected at such a small place. The views all around the property are beautiful. Seeing all the wildlife, and a few local dogs, made our stay even better. We loved, loved, loved this resort and will be back.

Stayed on the island 4 nights while doing research here in Belize. HUGE comfy beds, nice cool breeze always, a gorgeous reef, and great menu (they even have tofu!!!). I couldn’t have asked for a better stay!! Shout out to the super attentive staff, Evel, John, KK, Lloyd, France, Danny, Tommy, Francisco, Joerem, Aileen and Freddy. They all made my stay absolutely magical. I hope to return again soon!!!
