Loved this place!

We traveled with our 11 year old son here. From the minute we got there we felt like we were in paradise. The island is magical and the staff amazing. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and even caught a shark. Also loved deep sea fishing, snorkeling at turtle point and taking the…

Best Island stop

A beautiful island resort with nothing to do but enjoy nature and God's creation. The units are undergoing renovations, but as available, they were clean, comfortable and nicely stocked with all that you needed. the staff were always present but never in the way or obtrusive. …

Can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I just spent a week on Ray Caye for our honeymoon, and loved every minute of it! To start with, the island is gorgeous...exactly what you’d imagine an island paradise to be. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but you’ll want to spend most of your time lounging…

Great snorkeling!

We love the new “soon to be” Ray Caye! As a mariner or day visitor, Ray Caye is running beautifully. Guest rooms, we were told, should be completed in March. We moored for two blissful nights and had drinks, lunch, and dinner at the Lionfish Grill. I love seafood but after two…

Gorgeous cay, resort, and restaurant - very far off the beaten path

We moored off Hatchet Cay after learning they were serving dinner despite the resort being closed for renovations, and were mightily impressed by the choices and quality of food offered. The restaurant is physically a truly elegant wooden structure, open air, of course, with…

Does this resort offer day passes to travelers not staying on the resort?

Our arrival area, which includes our restaurant, bar, pool and dive shop, is open to the public.

Is there another form of water transportation to and from the hotel from Placencia other than the $400 boat ride the hotel offers? Can I find something cheaper, are all boats allowed on the island if they are taking guests?

The boat ride was FREE if you are staying at the resort. It can be either a medium sized boat or a very small boat

I will be staying in Placencia in April. Is it possible to catch a private boat over to Hatchet Caye and just spend the day there? Or do you have to be a paid guest of the resort? I'm ok with paying a day fee if that is what it takes.

Many day trippers come over to the lovely restaurant. The day trippers are limited to the restaurant side of the island. This is where the best snorkeling is . You would also have access to the swimming pool

We're thinking of coming in December. I'm guessing the water will be pretty cold during that time?

I don't like to be cold at depth regardless of the surface/air temp so I wore a skin with a shorty over (or under!) and was never cold at depth for my 50+ min dives. Have a great time, wonderful property and staff!!

Hi, rodrjo. What would you like to know about this accommodation? !. If my wife needs assistance, such as a wheel chair, is there one available on site? 2. I'm a certified scuba diver. Where can I rent equipment?

I don't think there is a wheelchair on site - I did not see one, but they may be able to arrange for you to rent one. You can arrange your diving right on Hatchet Caye - there is a dive shop with equipment rental on site.
