Thatch Caye Resort
This boutique resort was built with love, care, and real concern for sustainable development. Accommodations are in spacious individual cabins and casitas and a more modern family villa with a penthouse suite. The cabanas are smaller, built over the water, and feature thatch roofs and wonderful oceanfront balconies. The large casitas’ best feature is their huge, covered rooftop patios, with a couple of hammocks strung up under a high thatch shade structure on top. The family villa is three connected structures and is ideal for families or groups of friends. Solar and wind power are used to power the joint, although a backup generator kicks in when necessary, or if guests demand air-conditioning. The Coco Lounge, where breakfast is served, is a swell place to socialize with other guests, but it’s also easy to find privacy throughout the island. Royal Belize (www.royalbelize.com; 📞 800/348-0546) is their more luxurious sister resort that offers a true private island experience, as it’s exclusive to just 14 guests. Between the two, the vast majority of visitors to Belize will be more likely to spend time at Thatch Caye.
