Shaka Caye All Inclusive Resort

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!!!

I just returned from an amazing stay at Shaka Caye and cannot wait to return. If you want a low stress and relaxing paradise, this is the place. Being a private island, you avoid the typical annoyances of larger scale resorts. You feel like a valued guest from start to finish. The service was top notch from everyone, including Caption Andre, Daisy, Percy, Evelyn, GiGi, and everyone else who works super hard at the resort. They also offer massages from an amazing masseuse who travels to the island to provide services. If you want to scuba or flyfish, they will happily arrange these excursions for you. Seriously...this place is special!

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

This place is beautiful, so peaceful and all the staff is extremely nice. They take care of you like you are their own family! The drinks were great, and the chef made delicious food! Would highly recommend coming here! Peaceful is an understatement!

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.

I visited Shaka Caye with 2 friends in January. Overall it was a great experience on this gorgeous small private island. You felt special because the staff was able to give you all of their attention. The food was delicious. Housekeeping was impeccable. Most of the activities are off island which we knew when we booked the trip. We had no problem the first few days going to off island excursions using the island boat and captains. On day 4 of our 7 day stay the owner came to "his" island with 3 friends and the entire atmosphere changed for the worse. The staff acted differently, not as free and fun. They became "actors" their responses became scripted. They acted afraid for their jobs, frequently responding “the boss is here”. We were told where to eat on the island based on where the owner and his friends were going to eat. One night for dinner guests were told we could not eat in the bar area and all guest needed to go to dining hall. There was no reason given, After dinner we saw the owner and his friends in the bar area alone playing games and enjoying private time. I felt disrespected and humiliated. We had trouble getting off the island if the owner and his friends needed the boat and or captains. The manager told me there were no captains available to do any transfers for excursions. When the boat returned with the jubilant owner and friends from their fishing, sunbathing and snorkeling adventure all captains were with them. That’s bs and not fair to guests. He could “show off” and play with his toys any time. We literally were stranded and bored for three days because of his arrival to the island. SO SELFISH!!!! I brought my concerns to the manager and informed me she would discuss with owner. It’s March no response yet.
