The reviews sum up Hickatee very well – comfortable accommodation, great food, and a lovely jungle setting, but close enough to cycle to PG town and visit the chocolate factory, market, the local maya embroidery cooperative, and for meals at local restaurants. Ian and Kate were great company, very hospitable, and have loads of information on self-drive tours of the... more

Punta Gorda (PG) is one of those rare, uncompromised havens that true travelers will cherish. PG is close to treasures of the land and the sea. There are keyes for diving and jungles for exploring. The area’s economy is simple but its culture rich and diverse. Families grind exquisite chocolates from cacao grown on trees that they treat like friends.... more

Ian and Kate have truly created something special at Hickatee. The location is great -- only 1.5 miles from PG. . yet, you feel as though you are in the middle of the jungle. I have stayed at other jungle accommodations in other parts of Belize -- the kind that are far away from everything - and I felt the... more

We traveled to Belize in May and planed our entire trip around staying at Hickatee Cottages because of the reviews we saw on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed. Ian and Kate organized private tours at our request and we couldn't have been happier. The trip and accommodations exceeded all our expectations. We were treated like royalty and we had the... more

We spent 5 wonderful days at Hickatee cottages at the end of our 2 week stay in Belize. Our cottage, located in a beautiful jungle setting, was extremely clean and comfortable. This was the least expensive accommodation that we used in Belize, but was by far the best. The food (breakfast and dinner) was delicious and very reasonably priced –... more

It's taken me a while to get around to writing a review of Hickatee, but the fact that it has lodged firmly in my mind must be a good sign. My wife and I stayed at Hickatee Cottages last year (or maybe the one before!) and I've always meant to write a review raving about how good it is. I've... more

We visited Punta Gorda in April and stayed at Hickatee Cottages. What a jewel this is! The cottages are comfortable, clean, and tastefully decorated. When you enter you relax. The grounds are beautiful and tranquil except for the Howler Monkeys and Oropendolas which awaken you each morning before your coffee delivery. I was calling our cottage "home" before the first... more

Hickatee Cottages is an excellent place to stay if you are in Punta Gorda, Belize. The owners are delightful, truly helpful and very knowledgeable of the area. The rooms are lovely, the food is tasty and the surroundings are beautiful. We had a great time in Punta Gorda and I think most of the credit is due to Hickatee Cottages. more

Hickatee Cottages provided us a great room, at a reasonable rate with the best service in Belize. Ian & Kate (the owners) are amazing. They'll arrange activities with trusted outfitters without taking a commission and have great advice for things to do in the area. We thouroughly enjoyed their cooking (especially the fresh breads!) and feel it was the best... more
