El Ben Cabañas

Room was super clean. On arrival to the site, we were greeted with 2 drinks and an overview of the amenities and services the hotel provides. Very professional and pleasant stay all around!

Excellent breakfast

The staff were wonderful, they were helping us on any issue that required assistance. Lovely quiet place, with free transportation to other locations on the Islad.

The rooms were clean and the staff was courteous and helpful. It would have been nice to have more amenities, such as hammocks or lounge chairs to relax in. There weren’t a lot of spaces for visitors to kick back and relax.

Really appreciate the use of the El Ben water taxi. Everyone was very kind and the service was great.

This was a tranquil experience. The hotel resides on the north side of caye caulker which is a nice break from the busy south side. The hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff was beyond excellent. They provided complimentary transportation to the south side and locations in the nearby area. They arranged a taxi for us to be picked up at the airport and transport us to the water taxi. Justin and Freddy were the best. We will definitely be coming back with more family.

Lovely property, clean room with a nice pool bar area and restaurant. Just a 10 minute walk to the split to split ferry, very convenient. Bikes available for $5 US per day make exploring the islands a breeze.

I booked this property after a disappointing experience at an AIRBNB on south Caye Caulker. Alyssa (sp?) greeted me with a cool fruit drink upon arrival and it set the tone for the rest of the stay. The property is beautiful, clean and bug-free (except for mosquitos once you get away from the grounds). The best part of the stay was the staff. It feels like family (and some of them are). Just nice people.

Highly recommend. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Such a beautiful location.

I should have known once the sever joked about us haviWhile the property itself is beautiful there are issues it seems everyone is aware of but have no interest in resolving. I went during crabfest 2025. They were aware their generators could not support the property yet they had it fully booked and I experience 7 blackouts in 2 hours. Btw the electricity controls the toilet and showers. So no light, toilet or shower for 4 hours. They didn’t fix my toilet for 12 hours . I have a 8 year old. Pee and poop sitting in heat for hours . I’ll let you imagine. Instead of coming to our room with even a sliver of hospitality, myself and 4 other guests had to find them. When I advised about the toilet issue - one of the property managers offered to bring a bucket of water to my room. Then they refuse to refund me for the days I was not there. Previous to this they did not communicate about needing a 2nd boat trip

Told me that my room was under a different name and still argrued with me after i showed them my itenerary. Gave us the wrong room which led to more argruements. We went to northside, and when we came back to the hotel. There was animal turd on our bed

I loved the seclusion, the hospitality of the staff and the amazing food and drinks at the restaurant/bar.

We had such a wonderful time at El Ben! It was our first visit, and we're already dreaming of returning. The hotel itself is adorable, but the true highlight was the incredible staff. From the moment we arrived until we checked out, they were consistently helpful, kind, and always available. What really impressed us was how they greeted us by name immediately – it made us feel so welcome, like regulars! The food at the restaurant was also a standout; we enjoyed the most delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout our entire stay. The bartenders were equally friendly and always happy to see us. A huge thank you to the entire El Ben team, especially the manager, receptionists, captain, chef, and bartenders. You truly made our trip unforgettable! We can't wait to come back soon.

This property was accessible and affordable. The location was very intimate. The scenery was beautiful. I will definitely be back with a longer visit.

Loved our stay at this resort! Friendly staff and clean rooms! Highly recommend!!

Great Times with the team at El Ben.

Really nice cabins on the shore, well integrated in the landscape. Staff friendly and accommodating

Very quiet, romantic, staff was friendly and attentive. Food in restaurant was probably some of the best I had while in Belize. Would definitely come back.

We stayed at EL Ben Cabanas for 3 nights. The Cabana was very nice, clean and very comfortable. The staff there were excellent and very helpful. Travelers should be aware that access to a beach at the resort is non-existent. This is mostly due to the volume of sea grass on the east side of the island. The sea grass also gives off an unpleasant odor as it gets hot during the day. Luckily the pool was a great way to cool off. The restaurant at the resort was quite nice. We mainly ate breakfast there and explored the island for other meals. We did use a couple of the resort bikes and rode to Bliss Beach on the west side of the island, which was beautiful. No sea grass and soft sandy beach. You can buy a drink or two and hang out on the lounge chairs or cool off in the beautiful clear water. El Ben Cabanas offers a boat ride to the south side of the island where the quaint little village is. We spent quite a bit of time walking around checking out the shops and variety of food establishments. We definitely recommend Reyna's restaurant for amazing Jerk Chicken.

The staff is so friendly
