Very relaxing stay

Our family of 5 spent 3 nights at Joe Jo's on our way from Guatemala to Mexico. We visited Belize almost 20 years ago and felt that this time around we wanted a more family oriented option than Caye Caulker and Tobacco Caye seemed like a really good fit. Getting there is easy, we spent the nights before in Hopkins so it was a very short drive to Dangriga and catching the speedboat was no problem at all. Louis had provided us with the contact details to one of the captains in advance and we could park our rental car on one of the lots just next to the dock for a reasonable nightly price. The ride to the island was smooth and rather quick, you can probably hit some waves if you are unlucky with the weather but I think the reef protects quite well. Tobacco Caye is tiny, you will…

Lovely stay

My Mum and I had a lovely stay at Joe Jo’s. The staff are so accommodating and Carmen’s food was delicious. They even kindly baked me a birthday cake which I was so grateful for! Thank you for a delightful stay ☺️

4 amazing days at Joe Jo' By The Reef

The 5 of us had a great experience in this really tiny island. David & Carmen & children are excellent hosts, providing all support and delicious food, even to sometimes difficult kids... :-) For the 5 of us, those have been magic days, with plenty of snorkelling, boat trips, kayaking, reading and relaxing. Thanks a lot to all of you!

loved this place

My family and I loved staying on Tobacco Caye at Joe Jo's. The island is right on the reef, and the reef itself is teeming with creatures, so we saw many interesting things right from the dock: stingrays, octopus, squid, giant hermit crabs, colorful fish, pelicans diving into the water, etc. We also saw many rainbows and water spouts (little tornado out to sea) which was totally cool. Snorkeling around the end of the reef was a highlight with tons of coral and fish. We borrowed some of our snorkeling equipment from Joe Jo's and it was very good quality, and we used their kayaks and paddle boards every day - another huge highlight as they are readily available, free to use, and so much fun. David and Carmen took excellent care of us. The food was great with fresh vegetables…

Kind Regards,

Wonderful and relaxing

We loved our stay for 5 days in January as a family of four. We stayed in two ocean front cabins and all spent many hours on our front porches reading and relaxing. The meals gave a rhythm to the day and food was very good. Our 8 year old loved ringing the dinner bell that calls everyone to the dining hall. Kayaks, SUPS and snorkeling gear were all in good shape and we used everyday. Have ‘Doggie’ take you out to the reef for amazing snorkeling-about a 10 minute boat ride. David and Carmen took excellent care of us during our stay. If you are not a fancy resort sort of person but just want a beautiful location with basic, clean accommodations with warm and friendly hosts, I highly recommend !!
