We ventures to Hatchet Caye as a result of the LivingSocial deal, as the poster before and I bet MANY posters after us did. The island was very nice, but I think calling it 5 star is a little much. While I understand the definition of 5-star changes when you put it on an island out in the middle of... More

Imagine waking up on your island paradise, what would it look like? For us, it looked incredibly like Hatchet Caye! We arrived at night, so it was difficult to tell what the island looked like. I was awakened in the morning to the sound of ocean waves lapping up on the shore and looked out my cabana window to discover... More

We arrived at Hatchett after hearing that it could be reached by boat. It has a great dock and were well received. The entrance is difficult because the docking facility is a bit shallow. We were going to dive and fish. The dive master was not upfront with us and not very professional. He never asked for our diving licenses.... More

Thanks so much for your review. Any and all suggestions on ways we can improve the overall experience at Hatchet Caye Resort is considered an opportunity. We actually have 3 vessels that service the island - one for Diving/Snorkeling and guest transfers, one for Fishing Tours and guest transfers and one for supplies and staff transfers. Our 'Catch and Release'... More

When our daughter suggested Hatchet Caye--a 3.8-acre island some 17-18 miles off the coast of Belize--I thought, "Cool! It will be like Outward Bound," while my wife thought, "Does it have electricity? What if someone gets sick or has an accident?" Photos and further clarification from our daughter answered my wife's questions and corrected my misconception. Far from being an... More

As I looked at the amazing panoramic shots of Hatchet Caye on the internet before we booked our trip, the bright blue of the sky, the inviting swimming pool and the appealing architecture of the buildings and rooms all seemed too good to be true. But after staying there, I can assure you it is as beautiful as it appeared... More

Wow! We spent 2 nights, including New Year's Eve at Hatchet Caye - We went snorkelling with Eagle Rays and a big crusty old Turtle and then had a great lunch at Silk Caye. There were 5 of us and we raced the Hobbie Cats around the Caye while others kayaked. The professionalism and sincere friendliness of the staff was... More

I'm giving Hatchet Caye a bit of a critical review in the hopes that, down the road, it may become a true five star resort. First, the positives: Hatchet Caye is a fabulous location with limitless potential; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly return. The infrastructure and activities are first rate. The pier that juts out past the... More

Wow, was my first impression as we pulled up to the dock after navigating through the crystal clear water surrounding the Caye. After almost 3 weeks in Belize an unexpedted day trip brought us and friends to the island for an awesome BBQ & drinks. We decided on the spot to stay for 2 nights and said goodbye to our... More

We spent this past weekend at Hatchet Caye as a little get away and got more than expected.The Caye's white sand bounces off the various shades of blue water giving it that Caribbean vibe. The Caye has all the equipment you need to keep busy IF lazying by the pool or cuddling on the barside lounges aren't enough. We snorkled... More

Our trip and stay at Hatchet Caye Resort was amazing. We went snorkeling and scuba diving at the islands reef and at a atoll close by. It was great we say lots of marine life including a reef squid. The restaurant and bar were also very good. Every meal we had we cleaned our plate. The pool on the island... More
