Shaka Caye All Inclusive Resort

This resort is beautiful. The staff are excellent and make your stay a personalized experience. The food is high-end and prepared by a very talented chef and sous chef. The rooms are great. Setting up excursions are very simple and the staff keeps you informed of your schedule. We can't wait to come back.

The absolute BEST getaway you can plan! If you are lucky enough to find this island, you MUST come experience it! This was my second visit here, and the first was 6 years ago prior to a renovation and change in ownership. I came with a group of friends then and always wanted to share it with my family. It was even better than my memories, thanks to amazing staff and island updates. Our teenage girls kept saying...is this real life? are we in a real life travel brochure?! And the adult's that came along, were just as impressed! From planning our visit to our sad goodbyes leaving the island, each staff member played a role in making our trip perfect. Veronica made booking easy, and Daisy helped keep our daily memory making at Shaka Caye the very best. We loved our new bartender friends, Obie and Percy, as they made us the best drinks whenever we needed them. Our food was honestly the best we have had all-inclusive. We were blown away by the taste and service every time we were served. Thank you, Roddy and Michael and the amazing chefs! We had a fabulous excursion to a nearby caye for exploring, shopping, tarpon feeding, sea horse viewing and nurse shark watching with Andre as our captain. Edwin also helped us on and off the island with his great boating navigation. Our cottages were cleaned so well every day by Judy and if you love a good massage, you must visit Tiff in the spa. Lastly, Glenda, the manager, works so well with staff and visitors to create a picture perfect stay! Book the trip if you love hidden treasures and i bet you will be back too!!!

Wow, Shaka Caye felt like your own island home away from home. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make you feel at home from the greeting at the airport to the boat transfer to the staff awaiting your arrival dockside. The accommodations were very comfortable including comfy beds, amenities and snacks. The food was quite good and better than expected for all of us. This is definitely a laid back vibe but tours can be booked beyond the island. There are also kayaks, a canoe and paddle boards to borrow for playing around the island. Really appreciate the hospitality from Glenda, Evelyn, captains Edwin and Andreas plus our bartender Roddy (Radi?). A really magical experience for our first visit to Belize with kids 18, 15 and 13yo.

Booked Shaka Caye Resort on somewhat of a whim with a large friend group for a 50th birthday party week adventure. Didn’t do much research, was in for the adventure. Began getting emails and texts immediately from Daisy (travel coordinator). Communication was great and all questions answered. Our party landed in Belize Airport late January ‘25 on our journey to Shaka Caye Resort. We were Sept up at the airport and driven to a very quaint and private boat house, located down an isolated dirt road. Don’t fret if you feel you’re in a scene from a kidnap movie, you are not! The charm of Belize and spirit of adventure is not lost. We were met at the transport boats at night, in complete darkness. Both captains along with Daisy greeting us with big smiles and friendly welcomes. This was just the beginning of Shaka Caye staff treating us like family. After departing the dock and traveling through what I can only describe as the beginning of Disneys Pirate’s of the Caribbean ride, a 45 minute moonlit ride off the coast of Belize, and we found ourselves pulling into the small sheltered harbor of the island. Quickly greeted by bartenders Roddy and Michael who presented cold cocktails and warm greetings. Staff delivered our luggage to our rooms as we adjourned to the open Telapa style bar with ample seating and ambiance music filling the air. Soon we found ourselves sitting down at the newly remodeled water front restaurant with wrap around deck. Waiter Percy gave us our 3 dinner options that included locally sourced and quite delicious items. After a great first night we adjourned to our rooms. I found our two bedroom beach front bungalow beautifully restored, giving off a warm island vibe feeling, nothing too fancy but the linnens were fresh and clean, the mini fridge stocked with chips, candy, water and soda and the mini split AC’s blowing cold and hard. The fully stocked kurig machine, sink with cups and glasses was a great touch. Seating area in the living room with two comfy chairs made for a nice area to prep for the days adventures. Open the curtains and quickly find a view to die for. Turquoise blue water and white sand beach lined with kayaks, paddle boards and sun lounges to make your beach days perfect. After exploring the island on the first day and locating a nice little lounge and gaming area with massage room and his and her bathrooms, we found a second building with some weights, treadmill and yoga mats, in case you wanted more exertion than stumbling out of your room to the bar, the beach or the restaurant. Over the next 6 days our group found ourselves each night socializing at the Telapa bar, while drinking our weight in tasty beverages, singing karaoke and enjoying conversation with staff. Each day we were treated to at least three meals, each course we were given a choice of three options. Never disappointing, always a great veriety, we found ourselves rarely eating the same thing twice. All meals and non premium cock

Our family had the BEST stay of their lives so far. We traveled with 2 adults, 3 kids (10 - 12). We stayed in the presidential house because of our family of 5. While it does not have direct beach access, it is a 30 second walk to the beach. There is a ton of space, no kitchen, which is fine, the beds were very comfortable, the rooms were cold and the ambiance was calming, serene and forces you to slow down. We saw the sunrise from our porch, the kids loved laying in the hammock and nearly falling asleep. Our boat captains, Andre and Edwin navigated night time travel and rough seas to transport us safely to and from the mainland. It was a very unusual windy time when we were there, which did not at all detour our experience. Daisy was always kind to us, smiling, checking in on if we were enjoying our stay. She met us at the dock when we arrived and was there with Obie when we left. Obie would run us beers to the beach and back -- that was above and beyond and he shocked us with that a few times! He makes the best Pina Coladas. Not the mix stuff, all fresh and from scratch. Raddy and Michael were our restaurant waiters who were ever so patient with us and our kids. They were extremely accommodating and the service they provided was great. The chicken tenders were ever so good -- the kids loved them. We asked to meet the chef to send our personal thank you for wonderful meals that were unique to Belize and inspired by their culture. My kids did not want to leave, neither did we honestly. We did arrive to our next destination and the entire time we were wishing we were back at Shaka. The kids were able to paddle board, snorkel, they felt so safe on this private island. Entering the water was easy and gorgeous clear blue. It was the most beautiful place we have been and the people that work there make this island experience wonderful. Be sure to consider the tip at the end, you don't tip per person. The other respectable mention is they will not take a direct tip, they do communal tipping at the end, and please be sure to consider that if/when you are booking. We will ABSOLUTELY be back. This time, stay at least 5 nights and likely have plans to make a quick trip to Caye Caulker, but mostly stay on the island and relax. We can't wait to return.

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.
