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!!

Great hospitality, easy communication with the staff, delicious fresh food, nice calm beach, Access to kayaks, snorkeling gear, and paddle boards, great snorkeling and other tours available for an extra reasonable fee. The cottages were large, modern, with a private balcony. The beds are very comfortable. Everything was easy. No complaints at all.

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!

Shaka caye was not the experience we were hoping for. We booked for 4 days and left the island the morning of day 2! The food was horrible, could only eat on the island schedule. Not all inclusive on drinks or food. They opened on there on time. We took the boat to Caye Caulker for fun, food drinks and adventure. If you want to stay on the island and do absolutely nothing this is it.

Shaka Caye is an amazing hidden treasure. The private island experience was like none other. Because there are only 10 villas on the island (none of which were all occupied at one time during our stay), there are times when you feel like (or actually may be) on the island to yourself. Beautiful beach views no matter where you were on the island and had the special treat of dolphins outside our room in the mornong. The staff are super attentive and the chef even made special menu items throughout our stay because I am plant based and my huspand is a pescatarean. Special shout out to Rodwell, Fiona, Josh and the Chef for a memorable stay. Only suggestion to the property would be to consider having snack options throughout the day (outside of the 4:30 bar snack or at least offer guests the opportunty to make a pit stop at a local grocer on the mainland before heading to the island. We will definitely be back!!!!

My wife and I just spent 3 nights of our honeymoon and had an incredible experience at Shaka Caye. The island is gorgeous, rooms super comfortable, incredible dining experience, but the thing that really blew us away was the staff! We felt like VIPs the entire time we were there. Big shout out to Breeze who was seemingly everywhere all the time. Definitely take a tour with Dre… a Caye Caulker local who guided us to see sting rays and swimming with nerf sharks. The island I’m not huge but if you want a Belizian flare with some quiet island tranquillity… I have a hard time imagining a better place to recommend!

Our trip to Shaka Caye was perfect from beginning to end. Transportation to and from the island was quick and easy and everything about the island was as advertised. Beautiful surroundings, very nice accommodations, good food and drink options, and an amazing staff that works hard to cater to the guests. Quiet and secluded but just a short boat ride away from all sorts of activities.
