What a beautiful country and one of the most hospitable people you’ll ever meet. El Ben Cabañas is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in. Coming to a country for the first time can be so intimidating but they have made it so seamless and wonderful. They are located in the North side of Caye Caulker where it is more quiet, I couldn’t have picked a better spot to have a relaxed time. They accommodated my early last minute arrival and I was greeted by Britney with a big smile along with the different workers there! Moren the main manager was also incredible and I very much felt like family in the time spent here. Plus the food in their restaurant is phenomenal. I will definitely be back!

I highly enjoyed my room with its high ceilings and comfortable bed. Very quiet and peaceful, waking up to the sounds of morning doves. The restaurant was exceptional - friendly staff and delicious food.
Only complaint was the lack of communication between office staff and access to needed services - not having a reservation on Tropic Air on upon my arrival in Belize City, confusion about what could be ordered with the breakfast certificate, not giving me correct information about the pickup time for a snorkeling trip and then not being on the list for the trip, not being on the list for the water taxi to the airport. not arranging for my driver to be paid for my ride from the water taxi to the airport. Chronic lack of follow through.

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.

We ate a lot of our meals at the on-site restaurant after trying the food at a couple of local restaurants. The food at T.T.'s was delicious and reasonably priced. We live in the Northeast, USA, so that is our comparison. The hotel provides a complimentary boat service to the ferry terminals, which are in the heart of the main part of Caye Calker, and a golf cart service to the Split ferries to get to the main part of the Island. All in all, El Ben Cabanas is a quiet oasis on the northern part of Caye Calker.

Staff was superb and helped me both with a booking issue (resolved wonderfully) and any questions I had about town and other bookings. It is on the north island making getting to town a bit harder but their boat and the ferry are pretty convenient but you do have to plan extra time for them. Great overall

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

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.

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.

Nice resort with great food

Our cabana was nice, but the air conditioner could not keep up with the heat. Our first night we sweat through the night and slept on top of the covers. The next morning they looked at the AC and said it was frozen over and had been repaired. 8 hours later - still the same situation. They changed us to a smaller room that was more like a hotel style and the room was much cooler. Restaurant had great food and service. We really enjoyed the nearby beach ($5BZD) too!

One other note. The pool bar opened up one day when we were the only ones there. The music was blasted so loud for no reason. I tried to order drinks and the bartender couldn't even hear me without yelling. We asked him to turn it down and it went from a 10 to an 8. We finally gave up an left. A few hours later though it was at a more reasonable level, but the pool bar should be for the guest's enjoyment...not the employees.

Five stars isn’t enough for El Ben Cabanas. Our cabana was decorated beautifully for our anniversary upon arrival. The staff was so friendly and attentive and welcoming. The location is very accessible from the more active areas of the island but it’s separate enough that it’s nice and quiet all the time. My morning coffee on the porch watching the sunrise and listening to the birds was the perfect start to each day. Bikes, golf carts and water taxi were available to get around, no issues. Property was perfectly manicured, clean and beautiful.
