Shaka Caye All Inclusive Resort

A very nice and quiet place for a relaxing vacation. There can be a maximum of 30 guests on the island, there is no crowd. There are 10 bungalows that are very nicely furnished. You can choose to eat on the terrace of your bungalow or in the restaurant. For each meal, you choose one of the 2-3 dishes offered. Everyone tries to please you, they are always ready to help. Special thanks to Veronica. There are many kinds of birds on the island, it's nice when you wake up in the morning with their chirping. The sunsets are beautiful.

We just returned from one of the best, if not the best, vacations ever! If you want to go on a vacation where you and your significant other can spend quality time and embrace Mother Nature, this is your place! The Shaka Caye Staff catered to our every need! We want to give a special shout-out to Mrs. Glenda for running a fantastic staff, Ms. Veronica for coordinating all our needs and excursions from start to finish, Edwin & Andrew for the fishing and Marine life experience, Percy for creating incredible drinks and keeping them coming, Henry for putting together masterpieces of dishes and last but not least Brenda for keeping those pillows fluffed when we got back. We look forward to returning. Thank you for a phenomenal trip!

The island is quaint and intimate. The service was spectacular: many thanks to Sledge for the great drinks, Wings for the adventures, Norvin and Dennis for the amazing food and Veronica for an overall outstanding experience. Definitely going back. And right soon.

My family and I recently stayed at Shaka Caye and we cannot wait to return. In fact, we wanted to take this opportunity to say "thank you" and express our gratitude to the amazing staff for such a wonderful stay. You made us feel like family and we are truly grateful for the time we got to spend with you and the memories you helped us make. We loved how Edwin and Raddy greeted us with warm smiles for each of our meals. They provided very friendly service. The food was fantastic! The bartender, Percy, was awesome. He kept the drinks flowing and the conversation going. We thoroughly enjoyed his craft cocktails and we appreciated how he introduced us to new things. Veronica was also amazing! She was extremely helpful and even played games with our son while my wife and I watched the sunset. Andres got us to and from the airport and island safely and we enjoyed the time we spent with him on the boat. John helped us get to and from the airport safely and promptly. And Lily and her crew kept our room clean and comfortable, it felt like home away from home. We really appreciated the entire staff and their dedication to us during our stay. We hope to see you in the future and cannot wait to return. ❤️

As others have mentioned, Shaka Caye is not as advertised. The positive reviews must be fake! From the moment we arrived to the day we left, the overall experience was the worst we've ever experienced. My husband wanted to leave after the second day, but we unfortunately stayed the entire week hoping things would get better but they did not. The food was simply awful. I don't know where these other reviewers ate, but there was no seafood or shrimp. Just salty meat and a lot of starches. The eggs in the morning were cold and the toast wasn't even toasted! The bar is just a small counter with dirty glasses and extremely cheap and disgusting alcohol. We had one drink and that was enough! Unfortunately there are no other beverages besides water, so we spend the week drinking tap water. Yuck! One staff member mentioned that the new owners haven't visited, and it shows. There place is a mess, worn down buildings, trash along the island and the when it got warm there was a definite smell of garbage. So gross! Where does all the money go that guests pay for staying? The staff also fails to mention the various hidden charges for going to/from the mainland. A round-trip boat ride is going to cost you upwards of $150. My husband was furious when he found out during the checkout! Please, please, please find another place to stay and read the negative reviews carefully. They're accurate unfortunately :(

This resort is nowhere near as advertised. I’ve travelled to plenty of all inclusive resorts and I can easily tell that this is not even close to that. When I originally booked, they were kind enough to give me a small discount as I felt that the prices listed were outside of my budget. The small discount that was offered was still overpriced for our overall experience. They advertise a welcome drink - it was warm and had no alcohol. You’re stranded on the island with nothing to do all day and it costs $150 to go anywhere else. They told me this cost would be split between boat passengers but when we checked out, they charged me and my boyfriend the full $150. They advertised that there was a shop at the island to buy sunscreen and bug spray and there was not one. The kayaks and paddle boards were old. There was seaweed/grass growing all around the island making it virtually impossible to swim. Half of the cabana is not air conditioned and the other half that is, I was told, there was no key to lock my belongings up. I later found one in the room… The snacks in the mini fridge were expired and the fridge did not keep anything cold. The island bar was uncomfortable to sit at as the wooden high top chairs did not have any cushion. The bar drinks were watered down/not really alcoholic. The staff is cordial and friendly but it seemed that most of them did not want to *actually* attend to us. I’m also concerned about their living conditions as they all seem to stay in one cabana, which like another reviewer mentioned is inhumane. They tacked on a free snorkeling trip with my stay, which was kind but I had to remind them of it when I arrived because they tried to charge me. During the snorkeling, the equipment was old and dirty and no instructions were provided for first timers like my boyfriend. The snorkel guide just so happened to be our boat captain as well. He took us into heavily current waters and my boyfriend cut himself on a coral reef as a result. During our $150 transfer to Caye Calker, the same boat captain got drunk and on our way back, he swerved the boat so hard that a couple who was also on the boat fell into us and hurt my ankle. Although the staff offered ice and a band aid for me and my boyfriend, we felt that this all was extremely careless on their part. When I requested a partial refund through my credit card company, they refused. Do NOT spend your money here! Go to a real all inclusive resort. It’s a shame that this was our experience because I travel frequently and could have referred plenty of new people to come here. Did I mention we came home with random bites all over our body as well? Yeah, never again.
