What an amazing place!! The rooms are beautiful! The property is so beautiful! So well maintained, like a gorgeous Zen garden. The staff are AMAZING! So welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious. We had the best time!
This property has all the amenities and quiet surroundings. Rooms are very spacious. Great staff. Water taxi service to other island is amazing. Restaurant at hotel has great local options.
Wonderful spacious cabanas, so cool inside with large beds and a roomy shower. The on-site restaurant was also fabulous. The staff were incredibly helpful. This north side of the Split on Caye Caulker is pristine and quiet. Town is a short hop on a golf cart and 2 min ferry ride.
Greeting when we arrived was fantastic. Room was clean, and food was good. When we booked this place it was because of the pool bar, however, what isn’t said is that the bar is only open Friday-Sunday. This should clearly be stated as we were there Sunday- Wednesday so only got it for one day.
The place is clean and the staff are very helpful. You are on the quieter side of the island which we loved but they will take you back and forth by boat which is free of charge. The pool is nice and the place was clean and well maintained. Would recommend!
We had the most lovely, comfortable stay! The staff were amazing! Most helpful, kind, considerate group that I’ve ever encountered. Not intrusive at all, but meet every need, request, and anticipated need. The complimentary boat ride across the split multiple times a day was soo nice. Very clean. Restaurant was great as is the cafe directly across the street. Best fruit smoothies we’ve ever had. Very quiet and peaceful. Can’t wait to go back some day!
El Ben is a beautiful, well run property. Everything about our stay was fantastic from the staff to the food to the cabanas. All the food is made from scratch - from the bread for morning toast to the fresh squeezed juice. I only gave it a 3 for amenities because that’s somewhat intentional as it’s on the north quiet side of caye caulker. If you want to relax, unplug & lay low it’s perfect. If you want to sign up for outings & adventures off site, you can do that too.
A room is clean. Staff is good but I don’t see much.
A complimentary boat ride between north and south is good and exciting but it can feel a little limiting especially on Wednesdays. If you provided a booklet about the hotel facilities, amenities, activities the way to get north… that would be nicer and kinder.
Our room was spotless. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant food was very good. It was a very quiet and replaxing stay. We will return.
The staff was wonderful. The restaurant was reasonably good but a little pricey. The advertisement was a bit deceptive, and that you cannot just walk out to the reef and go snorkeling. You need to rent a boat.
