This is a beautiful island. Great vacation if you want a quiet, relaxing and secluded time. The food was amazing. You need to take a boat off the island to do excursions and that can be pricey. Also, if you like to watch TV at night, you should take a tablet, since the villas do not have TV’s.

We loved shaka caye, wonderful island with great people. We loved our time there. If we are to give feedback, purchasing may be planned better. We ran out of limes :))

We traveled there for a family vacation. The staff is outstanding. The location is also beautiful. My only critique would be the need of a pool and reconditioning the beach and the beach front wall. The food is outstanding. The staff is incredibly accommodating and very friendly. Definitely would highly recommend to families and or couples.

Private Island Paradise with Exceptional Service Shaka Caye Our stay at Shaka Caye was magical. From the moment we landed, everything was perfectly arranged. We were picked up at the airport, taken to the dock, and transferred by private boat to this stunning private island. Shaka Caye is peaceful, exclusive, and ideal for anyone who wants to disconnect. We stayed in a beachfront villa, and waking up to turquoise sea views from our balcony while enjoying fresh coffee and breakfast was unforgettable. What truly sets this place apart is the personalized service. The staff was warm, attentive, and always made sure we felt comfortable—whether bringing piña coladas to us on the beach or checking in just at the right times. We took a guided tour where we saw nurse sharks up close—an incredible and safe experience. I celebrated my birthday there, and the staff surprised me with a personalized cake and a romantic private dinner. Every detail felt thoughtful and sincere. If you’re looking for privacy, natural beauty, and exceptional service in a quiet, Shaka Caye is the perfect destination. We left completely relaxed and already dreaming of coming back.

Lovely and quiet little island, half an hour by boat from Belize city! The local team provides excellent hospitality! Many thanks to Magnoly, Daisy and Glenda for their services and support! Rodwell for spoiling us and last but not least Edwin for being such a nice and attentive Captain initiating me on my first fishing trip! Kudos to the Chef for the amazing food! This small corner of paradise is definitely unforgettable!

Really lovely ‘get away from everyday life’ holiday. Super helpful and friendly staff (who work so hard), food choices were great and liked how quiet and peaceful the small island is. So relaxing made it very hard to want to do anything! Only tip to add: if you’re a pasty white ‘gringo’, make sure to pack a decent insect repellent as when the wind drops and the sun is out, so are the sand flies. The staff recommend baby oil! Would recommend coming to Shaka Caye in a heartbeat.

What an amazing place and an amazing staff. We are pretty picky when it comes to resorts and this place exceeded all of our expectations.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! Once you arrive in Belize City, you are chartered to a marina (15 min) then taken by boat (30 min) to the island. You are greeted by staff immediately with cocktails waiting for you. The stay is intimate… you are 1 of 32 max guests on an island. (During our stay there were maybe 15 guests total at one time). Which means it is easy to schedule all activities on a whim. We as novice did reef fishing, kayaking in the ocean, reef snorkeling! All meals and an afternoon “bar snack” are provided with an open bar for your enjoyment. The staff are amazing and cater to your every need while giving you the privacy to enjoy your vacation. All were great but specifically Andre, Obi, Glinda, Daisy, Reddy, Michael, Percy, Evelyn treated us like family. Would love to return!

My family and I just got back from our stay at Shaka Caye and I have to say that all of the positive reviews are dead on. The cottages are literally a step away from the beach and are well appointed (comfortable beds, plenty of space, hammock on the porch) with an amazing view of the ocean. We were picked up at the airport and driven to a small marina where we had a short 30 minute boat ride to the island. We were greeted with delicious drinks and smiles from the staff. Our bags were brought to our cottages and were given a mini tour of the island. We had no complaints whatsoever regarding our stay, but the 2 highlights for us were the absolutely AMAZING staff - Glenda the manager for keeping everything running smoothly, Obie and Michael at the bar with endless drink choices, Daisy for arranging our excursions, Edwin and Mark for our boat trips (2 snorkeling trips), the groundskeepers and lastly the kitchen staff. For the kitchen staff, this was by far the best all-inclusive food we've ever had compared to other resorts we've stayed at. Multiple choices for each meal, everything prepared fresh - DELICIOUS! Thank you to the Shaka Caye staff for an amazing vacation that we will always remember and cherish!!!

We loved our time at Shaka Caye. It was a dream come true, perfect for swimming in the ocean, kayaking & relaxing. We enjoyed watching a family of dolphins from the restaurant balcony while eating breakfast. We went snorkeling, booked a day trip to Alton Ha & the midnight cave, went deep sea fishing, Day trip to Caye Caulker where we petted nurse sharks, fed the tarpon, saw stingrays & enjoyed the shops & restaurants. We were well taken care of on all of the excursions & enjoyed the one on one treatment we received. The food was delicious & fresh! I highly recommend Shaka Caye!

This was such a gem! Private island with few guests made this stay such a unique experience. The service was EXCEPTIONAL and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Couldn't have asked for anything better. One note is that if you want to do anything off the island, it's a process to take a 40 min boat ride to the main land. Well worth the stay if you want to relax and stay on the beach!

I never thought I would be able to experience a private island in the Caribbean. This place is incredibly beautiful, clean and quiet with the best service and staff. The food was absolutely amazing and all 3 meals can be served right to your cottage every day. They offer several different adventures to add on. One that we did was the private snorkeling tour with Andre at the mesoamerican barrier reef. I traveled with my elderly mother who wouldn't have been able to swim the reef, so they pulled her around with a life raft while she observed the reef. If you want a private Caribbean vacation without the crowds, book Shaka Caye. We were so pampered that we didn't want to leave.

Shaka Caye was the most amazing island and vacation I've ever been on! From the time we got to the marina, the boat ride to the island we were greeted with a cold towel and drink and friendly staff!! Each and every staff member was AMAZING, and friendly and wanted our stay to be the best! We celebrated 2 birthdays while we were there and they all went above and beyond to make them special. From homemade birthday cakes they brought out to us while singing happy birthday, to decorating our room with palm leaves and special birthday message on the bed. At times we were the only visitors on the island so we got to explore and hang out with the staff and it was just such an awesome place to be! I would go back in a heart beat! The food was phenomenal with it being farm/sea to table, there was no food that I did not enjoy, it was all sooooo yummy! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! We love Shaka Caye and all our Shaka Caye friends!

Our stay was excellent! Requests made in advance for services and a special birthday surprise were all easily accommodated. The bartender/waiter became our best friend by the end of the trip. The food? Chef's kiss! Every single meal was either delightful or delicious. Every staff member we met was incredibly friendly. We were the only guests on the island, and everyone still made it special. It was completely safe and relaxing. A tip for drinkers: We supplemented our liquor from the airport duty-free store and were able to use it for our cocktails.

The property was very secluded, which meant very little competition for staff or cleaning service attention. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. Overall i went on several excursions that the staff recommended to me that were either provided or arranged by the resort. Including snorkeling, trips to mayan ruins, fishing on and off the island, and massages.
