“Lasted all of 5 minutes here!”

Trends Beachfront Hotel

Jul 31, 2007
1/2 found this review helpful

The title says it all - we seriously walked into our room and immediately decided we were NOT staying here.

(Granted, Caye Caulker was our last stop in Belize and the places we had stayed up until then were really great...so Trends had a lot to live up to!)

Besides the 2nd floor room we were given being INSANELY hot and stuffy (the main reason we didn't stay here), there is no place to hang out outside at this place....and who comes to Belize to sit in their room? Yes, there is a "porch" - if you can call it that - but there is no shade and it faces a big open space (not the water) that has no trees and is littered with trash. Zero tropical ambiance!! And there were too many people coming in off the water taxis right there, which made it seem busy and not at all mellow.

We were then taken to the Trends in the village which was worse! I saw better rooms in Placencia for $8! This place, at $40, was a total rip off. We were taken there because it had A/C. But the rooms were dark and dank and gloomy and again, there was no place to sit outside and relax with a beer. The beds were also terrible and full of popped springs.

They made us pay for the 2 nights we reserved anyway (boo!) but we decided just to eat it and stay elsewhere...it was that bad. We ended up at Seaside Cabanas....other end of the spectrum, I know! But it was lovely and while a pool is not the end all/be all for us, it was really REALLY awesome since it was so incredibly hot out. Caye Caulker has no beach and so this place was especially primo. Once I had a Belikin in hand, soaking in the pool....I completely forgot about Trends!

I should probably note that my boyfriend and I are NOT high maintenance-types. We are from CO and are used to roughing it. I don't need anything fancy, but for me - ambiance and environment is everything. Trends does not have this.

Trends was a super comfortable, friendly place to spend our time in Caye Caulker. The room had a huge porch and hammock that made our stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was the heat (no air conditioning.) All in all - a great stay!

“Great location, Quiet and clean”

Trends Beachfront Hotel

Feb 22, 2007

I stayed here over the xmas holidays and this hotel was exactly what we expected. It is not a 5star or anything but it has everything you will need for a stay on Caye Caulker. The location is the best part, right in the middle of the island, just off the water taxi dock. Easy access to either ends of the island. We loved the private hammock too, make sure to get on of the end rooms!

“Great little place”

Trends Beachfront Hotel

The Trends is a great little hotel at a great location steps from the ferry and jetty on Caye Caulker. The island itself is very laidback and a fun place to be with fun restaurants and a great ambience. I dived the Blue hole and Hol Chan marine reserve while I was there. The diving is ok, but not world class. The Blue hole is mainly done because it's very different and deep. It was cold, the vis wasn't so good and it's very short. But it was an experience not to be missed if you are a keen diver. The 2nd and 3rd dive were much better. And the day trip was worth it even though it is expensive and very long. (You leave at 5.45 in the mornning.) All in all I reccommend Caye caulker as a great destination and the Trends beach hotel was good, but don't expect luxury. It's pretty basic, but it's got all you need. You have your own private hammock which was put to use every day after my dives... :-)

“Lovely hotel”

Trends Beachfront Hotel

May 10, 2006
5/5 found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel as a lone female traveller for 10 days. The staff, especially one of the managers - Trenton, were really friendly and helpful. My room was on the beachfront and was basic yet very clean. The bedding, pillows, floor etc were all spotless. The maid cleaned the room and changed the towels each day. The bathroom was also spotless which is something I find particularly important. My room did not have air conditioning, but did have a very effective ceiling fan.
There are hammocks outside every room which are great for relaxing and catching the sea breeze and the wonderful view. The hotel is next to the water taxi terminal, making it extremely convienient to reach, especially if you get off the water taxi with lots of heavy bags, like I did.
The hotel is right next to the best restaurant on the island, the Sandbox, which serves up great local food for a decent price. I'd also recommend visiting Munchies restaurant, which is not too far away.
My time in Belize was fantastic, staying on Caye Caulker is quieter than San Pedro, but it is the most relaxing place I have ever been and I'd highly recommend it to anyone...you better Belize it!
