Rooms matched the photos, views were beautiful, and the staff was wonderful.

Shaka caye was not the experience we were hoping for. We booked for 4 days and left the island the morning of day 2! The food was horrible, could only eat on the island schedule. Not all inclusive on drinks or food. They opened on there on time. We took the boat to Caye Caulker for fun, food drinks and adventure. If you want to stay on the island and do absolutely nothing this is it.

property was great. Nice and quiet!

This place is beyond words. I really never knew the waters could be so blue. I literally think about my anniversary on this amazing private island everyday. I cannot wait to go back and I highly recommend.

Shaka Caye is an amazing hidden treasure. The private island experience was like none other. Because there are only 10 villas on the island (none of which were all occupied at one time during our stay), there are times when you feel like (or actually may be) on the island to yourself. Beautiful beach views no matter where you were on the island and had the special treat of dolphins outside our room in the mornong. The staff are super attentive and the chef even made special menu items throughout our stay because I am plant based and my huspand is a pescatarean. Special shout out to Rodwell, Fiona, Josh and the Chef for a memorable stay. Only suggestion to the property would be to consider having snack options throughout the day (outside of the 4:30 bar snack or at least offer guests the opportunty to make a pit stop at a local grocer on the mainland before heading to the island. We will definitely be back!!!!

loved the solitude and the water! its remote, so be prepared for that :)

My wife and I just spent 3 nights of our honeymoon and had an incredible experience at Shaka Caye. The island is gorgeous, rooms super comfortable, incredible dining experience, but the thing that really blew us away was the staff! We felt like VIPs the entire time we were there. Big shout out to Breeze who was seemingly everywhere all the time. Definitely take a tour with Dre… a Caye Caulker local who guided us to see sting rays and swimming with nerf sharks. The island I’m not huge but if you want a Belizian flare with some quiet island tranquillity… I have a hard time imagining a better place to recommend!

Our trip to Shaka Caye was perfect from beginning to end. Transportation to and from the island was quick and easy and everything about the island was as advertised. Beautiful surroundings, very nice accommodations, good food and drink options, and an amazing staff that works hard to cater to the guests. Quiet and secluded but just a short boat ride away from all sorts of activities.

We just returned from Shaka Caye celebrating our 25th anniversary in late April/early May. Our updated cottage was very nice with everything needed. The bed was surprising comfortable. The island was quiet and very low-key so if you're looking for seclusion and relaxation, this is it. Most of our 6 day stay had only one other couple, which made making friends very easy. On one day, we were the only guests on the island. The food was great; never had a bad meal. The staff were outstanding. We couldn't have asked for better service. They were very accomodating booking excursions and working with us on meal times. Big shout out to Ray and Ismael for keeping us well-fed and mixing drinks (ask Ray to make you something special!). They were a delight! Andre took us on a snorkeling trip at the reef, and made the whole thing just amazing. He got us close to a dolphin so we could swim with it -- highlight of our trip! He made the trip to the reef so enjoyable. The sweet ladies in Housekeeping did a great job too. Edwin transported us back and forth from the mainland, and always communicated with us if the water was going to be rough, change in course, or just timing. Overall we couldn't have met nicer people! The only cons are they need a robust ice machine to keep drinks cool (I believe one may be on order), broader drink menu, lighter food options for breakfast and lunch, and consistent wifi.

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.

Best place I ever been will come again

We had a amazing vacation at the Shaka Caye. The staff was AMAZING!! It was very quiet and peaceful. The view was out of this world. If you are looking for a place to unplug and just enjoy the peace and tranquility of a beautiful view and weather then this is your place!!! The staff was so helpful and so pleasant. Fiona the manager was very knowledgeable and helped book excursions that fit us. Kelly, the hostess and sometimes bartender always had a smile on her face. Ismael, was so friendly and attentive. The entire staff was something I’ve never experienced with that level of care and hospitality. I can’t wait to go back and visit again. Absolutely AMAZING

Loved it. Very quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Would only love it more with the upgrades. Absolutely plan on returning. Staff and food were wonderful; give those 5 star. Accommodations need some updating; give those 3 star. Property came under new ownership from when I booked to when I stayed. I assume that contributed to difficulty communicating at first. I was told the new owner plans on making some updates to the restaurant, the cottages and adding some additional amenities such as a pool, which would put this place over the top.

Spectacular place, location was perfect-Oceanview, its was peaceful, staff was exceptional friendly and helpful with all my needs. very clean place and food was fabulous.

Great place to rewind and relax. Amazing location. Great staff always willing to please.

I just needed to have some solitude and a disconnect from the real world and this was a perfect choice.the manager Carmen,Jyra and Kelli took amazing care of me,including bringing almost all of my meals to my cottage and brought me a cocktail anytime I wanted one.The internet worked pretty well considering you are on an island in the middle of the ocean.Jyra took me on a private snorkel tour about a 15 minute boat ride to the crazy beautiful reef that had the best snorkelingI have ever done,it was truly amazing!

We loved our stay here. The staff were amazing. We will definitely come back.

This resort is absolutely breathtaking! My husband and I were greeted by the property manager, Carmen, who was very helpful during our stay. Anything we ever needed, we just asked, and there it was! The cottage we stayed in was very roomy, with a nice hammock, table and chairs on the back porch. Our stairs led directly to the beach, where there were kayaks and paddleboards to use. We were able to kayak out towards a little island and it was as beautiful as the resort. The cuisine on the island was diverse (we had no dietary restrictions) and always delicious. I highly recommend the snorkeling and the sunset boat cruise activities that the resort has available for purchase. The bartenders were helpful and friendly, as well as the overall staff. I recommend this resort for those who need to get away from all the noise of life! Very relaxing, we will be back!

You can't beat the location--a private cottage right on the beach with an awesome view. There were only five cottages on the island, which made for a very quiet, peaceful, and enjoyable stay. The staff were fantastic. Carmen was attentive to all our needs. She came by every day to make sure that all was good. The food was outstanding. We loved having the option of eating at the restaurant or having the food delivered to our cottage so we could enjoy it on our porch overlooking the ocean. The interior of the cottages could use a little tlc, but don't let that hinder your decision to stay here. You won't be disappointed.

The island is quite small but we had it almost to ourselves. We had a lovely stay. The views are beautiful. The food is absolutely wonderful- they have an excellent chef. Because of covid, maid service was every other day but that was sufficient. My only reproach was not having been warned in advance to wear bug spray if it is not windy and to bring creams for bites.

Loved the sparse, quiet vibe of the whole place. Bring your own liquor and a Bluetooth speaker and novel. Thank me later. Amazing place to unwind if you’re needing to unplug from life and gadgets.

Amazing Amazing Experience! The staff! The property! The Food! The View! Words can’t describe everything! We didn’t want to come back home! Mr Brown, Carmen, Kelly, Huron, chefs, housekeeping and staff were so friendly and went above and beyond! Thank You again!

This was a spectacular place to stay, very relaxing. Everyone was very nice and helpfully. Ricky is like our mr rourke. Whatever excursions you want to do, he found a way to make it happen. The food was wonderful, no deciding what you are going to eat. I can’t say enough good things about this resort. Go, You will not be disappointed!!

Truly an island get away. Dreamlike. The staff worked hard to ensure we felt welcome and relaxed. The advanced emails were helpful as we askes about tours ahead of time and the arranged them. Also with Covid we found out ahead of time to get a test in the US that saved us delays upon landing in Belize.

Secluded and peaceful. Great staff!! I’ll go back for sure!

Amazing staff, great views, and the cottages were perfect for a tropical getaway. The food was really good, and the chef made a few special dishes out of the fish we caught from our backyard! Fishing was great from shore or kayak with spinning tackle. We caught a 30lb barracuda, a bonefish, several jacks and snapper. What a stay!

This place is fantastic, Ricky (manager) and his staff made sure all of our needs were taken care of. The island is beautiful and the food is amazing. Its the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view, light blue clear waters, beautiful picture sunrises and beautiful sunsets. Bungalow was spacious well maintained and beds were very comfortable. The staff hospitality made this place even better and truly an enjoyable stay.

The Royal Palm Island Resort is an awesome destination place in Belize. We were picked up at the Airport by a driver, taken to a small port and whisked away on a 30 foot boat to a small island where the resort is located. Several staff including a gentleman managing the resort named Ricky and one of trusted restaurant and bar staff members named Roddy were eagerly awaiting to greet us with two island punches.

The island was super secluded but has everything you would possibly need.

I loved every bit of it. I have traveled to many resorts and beaches, but this was the best experience ever. This is truly a relaxing paradise. I can’t say enough about the staff. They are extremely nice and accommodating. I took 3 kids of very different ages that range from 21 to 3 years. None of them wanted to leave. We did do the snorkeling experience, and is by far exceeds snorkeling in Australia. That speaks volumes. I plan on going back soon. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. This place is truly for relaxing, but offers excursions for those who want to explore.

The staff was EXTREMELY accommodating and professional. They try to keep a chill and relaxed vibe for the island and they truly care about making sure you have a good experience. We happened to be the only couple on the island for a few days while celebrating our honeymoon. On our last night there they went out of their way and prepared a special table for a romantic dinner on the beach. They helped create some very intimate moments for us as a newlywed couple. We felt very loved and impressed with everyone. You totally need to book this place!! I could go on for hours about all the paddle boarding, snorkeling and sea life we saw but you just need to experience the beautify of this place for yourself!

Amazing location and beach is breathtaking. Hospitality level could be improved upon with some more customer service training... sometimes we felt like we were bothering the waitstaff and they seemed to be irritated having to make certain drinks. Would have loved if occasionally someone would offer to bring us drinks to the beach. They keep the grounds and beach very clean. No wi-fi in rooms or at bar which is a bit of a hassle when you need to check in on kiddos at home. also keep it off at the dining room when eating times are over.
