Independent Hatchet Caye hotels

"Itz'ana is exceptional. The staff embodies the meaning of hospitality. From the reception desk, the wait staff, housekeeping; everyone was so nice and helpful. The GM is amazing, he has assembled a great staff. We are aready planning our trip back in February 2026. We love this place."

"Ray Caye Island Resort was a little slice of heaven for us! My husband and I went for our 30th anniversary and stayed in the honeymoon suite l, which I would highly recommend for its privacy and amazing view. We had our own private splash pool, and we were steps away from reclining by the ocean. The staff went above and beyond to take care of us during our stay. The drinks and food were delish! The excursions were awesome! The best snorkeling I have ever experienced, and the fishing was so fun, including catching a record size barracuda! We could socialize as much as we wanted but also have alone time. This was definitely a five-star experience and worth every penny! Next time we're bringing friends and family!"

"Shelly was so sweet, kind and helpful. She even helped me arrange a rent a car at a fair price. Thai also go me a fresh coconut every day. "

"Great for relaxation "

"Ohana is a great place to stay. Everything was clean and well kept. The views were beautiful and the staff was very accommodating. "

"One night stay last minute, very good value!"

"The best of both worlds! This property is stunning, and it really offered the best of both worlds. We were able to experience resort-style amenities and service, while enjoying the space of an AirBnB. Our suite was huge and gave us ample room to enjoy ourselves. It was nice to be able to cook some meals in the suite, although they could definitely stand to upgrade their kitchenware. The pool is huge, and we really enjoyed the swim-up bar. The restaurant sits right on the water, and we were really impressed with the food there. The service is top-notch from the bar to the housekeeping staff. *A note about the location: Placencia is a lot bigger than I realized. This property is in an area that is mostly just resorts and a handful of restaurants. A little further South is Maya Beach, which is quite nice. If you want to actually visit Placencia Village, it's a good 20-30 minute drive. So this is the perfect location for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. But if you want to be in the heart of Placencia, go further South. "

"The hotel staff members were attentive and knowledgeable about the area. The amenties were perfect and everything we needed for our stay. The concierge team was very helpful with booking tours and excursions throughout our stay. We would love to come back and stay again in the future. "
