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.

Shaka Caye was exactly what we wanted and needed from our vacation. My husband and I have never been so relaxed while vacationing. No real schedule, low key, breathtaking location, staff takes a minute to warm up to you, but we understand they are trying to gage how much or how little you want to socialize. We enjoyed getting to know each and every one. Bryan, George and Logan were our favorite servers. Rodney and Percy were our favorite bartenders. Veronica and Fiona were amazing from the reservations to email communications. Gigi, the best chef ever! Her table side manner was impeccable from the explanation of the food options and preparations to the next meal options. She even fished for us one afternoon because we were one of two couples onsite. What a treat!! The maintenance crew could pay closer attention to detail, as my husband picked up a few screws and nails on the island. The re was a flapping vent we could hear at night, but I am admittedly a light sleeper. We opened up all the widows during the day to allow the perfect island breeze flow throughout our villa. Thank you to all of the Shaka Caye team for making it a place we will dream about until we return!!

Great hospitality, easy communication with the staff, delicious fresh food, nice calm beach, Access to kayaks, snorkeling gear, and paddle boards, great snorkeling and other tours available for an extra reasonable fee. The cottages were large, modern, with a private balcony. The beds are very comfortable. Everything was easy. No complaints at all.

This was a vacation of a lifetime. The resort is very small and quiet. The service is excellent. I worked with Jacob prior to our arrival and he went above and beyond to meet our expectations. Edwin can take you on an adventure that you will never forget. His knowledge and personality made it so much fun. The chef was amazing, every meal he cooked was delicious. Now Hector…this guy…he made all our drinks, delivered food to our room, brought coffee when asked. He is a character and writes the menu options out daily (it was the highlight to see what he would come up with). Everyone on the island treated us great. Made sure we had everything we needed and then some. Beachfront is the way to go, the views you can’t beat. Romantic dinner on the beach is a must. Book the trip with Edwin to go to Caye Caulker for a day. It was so much fun. There was only 2 other couples there when we were and we became friends and went to Caye Caulker together. The staff set up a bonfire, found all of us our own crabs to have races, gave us a firework display. Just Amazing! Book it and enjoy. We plan on going back for sure.

We had a wonderful time at Shaka Caye. The staff was amazing and very welcoming. We happened to be the only guests for our stay and they never once made us feel like we were inconveniencing them. Instead, they said, don’t feel bad, the island is all yours! How cool! We reef snorkeled and went to Caye Caulker, all of which I would recommend as our guide was fantastic. We also got great massages, ate great food and drinks. Anything we would have asked for, the staff would have made it happen. We felt incredibly safe with our 4 year old running around as well. We highly recommend this resort!

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
