My stay was truly like a dream. Peaceful. Quiet. Welcoming. Comfortable. I would definitely treat yourself to their spa services. I highly recommend treating yourself to one of their full spa packages ---3 hours long!--- and very reasonably priced! The spa was very inviting and the Tiffany (the massage therapist) was nothing short of AMAZING! The package I chose included a thorough, full body, sugar scrub and then a warm shower--followed by a 60 minute massage, scalp massage and 30 minutes of foot massage/reflexology. Bliss. I walked out of their feeling like a million bucks. Overall, all of the staff is extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. And there is so much to do and see here in Belize. It is wonderful here. Highly recommend!!

Bku Zen's location on North Caulker is perfect for those who want to indulge in peace and relaxation. It's a short boat ride (complimentary daily schedule) to the Village on South Caulker. Each condo has spacious living areas, including private balconies and a fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryers - a huge bonus for us as we had come from the Cayo District jungle adventure for 5 days. Bicycles and kayaks are available and there are three pools, two restaurants, a poolside bar, and a convenience store on property. The staff are fantastic. Jairo and Charlene were fantastic! Our only regret is that we didn't stay a day or two longer.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
We rented a 2/2 condo which ended up being in a great location right next to the pool and restaurants. Just a 1 min walk to the ferry. I communicated via email with the staff and everyone was always so polite, prompt and professional. We were greeted at the pier when we arrived, given a welcome drink and then shown to our room. The unit was clean and very nicely maintained.
We took the ferry daily to the other side and it was always easy and prompt. One day we wanted to go leave but the BZ ferry was scheduled for a while so they called us a private Split to Split ferry who picked us up at the pier.
We did a fishing excursion and caught a lot of fish and they prepared it and cooked it all for us along with sides for less than $20/pp. and it was DELICIOUS!!
The only negative was each day the ladies would leave our sliding door unlocked after they cleaned it and left. We would have it locked when we left and always came back to it unlocked. I also think there should be a stick in the door for at night as an added level of security since many people are traveling with money and passports. Just can’t be safe enough! We never felt unsafe while there but it’s always best to be cautious.
We would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again.
Bring bug spray and spray often!! We got eaten alive at the bar and pool. We were in Belize for 11 days and by far the worst bug bite day were at Blue Zen. They were just terrible there and it would probably be best if they sprayed area or did it more often. We were there the last week of November and weren’t expecting to get chewed on but we were prepared with spray just were hoping we wouldn’t need it.

Secluded, gorgeous new condos on the beach. Our family of 4 stayed in an oceanview penthouse just a couple hundred feet from the beach: top floor of a three floor condo, 2 bedroom (master King with a 3/4 bathroom and a queen bedroom with another separate 3/4 bathroom). There’s a full kitchen with island and kitchenware and appliances. Double filtered water dispenser and ice maker. There’s a full-sized washer and dryer. The private rooftop patio with pergola and grill was an added bonus. The grounds has 3 quiet pools, 2 private restaurants (one is Thai themed and open for lunch and dinner. The other is a pizza/wings restaurant opened for dinner). There is a small Mercado with basic groceries, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and ice cream. A special shout out to Jairo at the front desk for his attention to detail and setting up our tours, Clara for a relaxful morning at the spa, Hugo & Hugo (aka “Juice”) with Latitude 17 Tours for our private snorkeling tour, and Mr. Walter Garbutt for the local fishing trip that was so successful that there was no more room in the cooler for all the fish. The resort then immediately prepared our freshly caught red snapper. Delicious! A ferry goes back and forth between the peaceful condos on the north side of the island to the busier south side of the island.
Highly recommend!

Belize in general has a lower level of services and quality of accommodations than a typical tourist destination in the US. HOWEVER, The Blu Zen is extremely nice and up to the higher standards many accustomed to staying at a Wynn, Omni, Hilton, etc may be looking for. It was exactly what we had hoped.
Our suite was huge, very nice, air conditioned, and reasonably priced. The Blu Zen resort and North Caye Caulker in general is very quiet and off the beaten path. It was very nice to be outside of the very congested and busy south Caye Caulker at night and to relax. There's a shuttle that runs frequently between both ends of the island which is very convenient and reliable. There's a few other amenities/restaurants around Blu Zen but for the most part you should expect to have to take the shuttle south to get a larger variety of shopping for household goods, food, etc. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying here in the future!

This was our first time in Belize and we stayed at Blu Zen in Caye Caulker. As soon as we stepped out of the boat/ferry we were greeted by Blu Zen’s amazing staff. They were attentive, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The accommodations were beautiful and clean. The apartment had an open concept with a full size kitchen (with an island), a living room and they even had a washer and dryer (this is great specially if you have kids)!! The amenities were exceptional, from the front desk to the bar (live music on the weekends), 3 pools, gym, 2 restaurants on site, a SPA (I had 2 massages!!) and a market. They have other amenities like kayak, bicycles, etc. but we didn’t use them.
A 10-15 min free ferry ride will take you to the south side of the island (the Village - the busy side of the island). They have delicious Belizean chocolates, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. We are glad we stayed at the north side of the island because Blu Zen is a stress free resort. We felt so safe staying there that we even let our 10 yr old daughter walk around the resort to explore without a wary. This was one of the best vacation we ever had. We miss the stunning sunsets and sunrises. We fell in LOVE with Belize and we’ll definitely be back…hopefully soon.

This is a great resort with tons of amenities and a super friendly staff. We were in unit F2 which is in a perfect location adjacent to the main bar/restaurant and pool with gorgeous views of the sea. There is a second restaurant with great pizza and wings. Free shuttle to the main part of the island with regular trips. Simply an awesome experience!

The word Wow is insufficient! Blu Zen is the best! Just arrived home from an annual girls trip where we travel somewhere new every summer! We prefer to stay under the same roof so we chose the Nirvana Penthouse! We arrived at the Blu Zen dock and were greeted by the staff with fresh and cooling Lemongrass scented towels. The resort was breathtaking with a serene spa like feel. Before our tour we were welcomed with a fruity umbrella drink! Typically when booking a suite, you expect equal or less than the photo’s present. This suite was better than expected! Pictures did not do it justice! The size and decor were perfect for what we wanted! Beds were comfy! You’ll love morning coffee on the rooftop patio with the beautiful ocean view. Another plus is the food! Our group of 8 pretty much tried everything on the menu and there wasn’t a single thing we didn’t love!! The staff is amazing! So polite and responsive. I can’t say enough great things about this place! I also can’t wait to bring my family back!! 10 out of 10 for me!

The Blu Zen is a beautiful property! The 2 bed, 2 bath condos are very roomy and equipped with basic necessities (2 rolls of TP per bathroom, beach towels, basic spices). The kitchen has a Keurig and a few pods, though you need to replace them if you use them. It is a newer, nicely appointed property. The 3? Pools were nice. I like the availability of bikes, though they probably need tune ups as some seats were loose or broken. Bring bug spray! My husband and I got bit by the sand fleas, though our friends did not. The ferry to mainland Caye Caulker was a quick and enjoyable 15 min ride. There are a couple of restaurants and a tiny grocery store on the property. It is a very quiet place to stay. I would definitely return to this property!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I first came here as a part of a group. The arrival was seamless - the staff is waiting for you at the dock and after a customized check in - you get your room and your bags are already delivered. The apartments are well appointed, the grounds are super nice and the ferry to go back and forth to the village is free and runs on a consistent schedule. The staff are AMAZING, truly dedicated to customer service. They remember you and are super friendly. When our group checked out, I had extended my stay at a different hotel which turned out to be awful. I quickly called Blue Zen back - they remembered me, got me a room and stayed late to make sure I could come back and check in. I will say it again - they mastered customer service. A big shout out to Jose and Erika who were always visible and made this happen. I cannot recommend this place enough.
