We had a cabin overlooking the lagoon, mangroves and the reef. It was spotless when we arrived, clean sheets and comfy beds! The front porch to each of the stand-alone cabins have 2 deck chairs (either plastic or wooden muskoka-type) and a hammock. Inside the cabin had a single and a double bed, a tall floor fan, a chair, a table, and a bookshelf (we used it for clothes), as well as some hooks on the wall for hanging clothes. Each cabin also has a private 3-piece bathroom that was nice and clean, with shower. Meals are included, three/day, served at 8am, noon and 6:30pm, and you are summoned by a bell for mealtime. Carmen (chef) cooked up incredible meals! Mealtime is social, with various guests sitting together family-style. Fresh food, plentiful and cooked so well!! Our days were spent snorkelling on the reef (incredible), kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, swimming off the dock, relaxing on the verandah of the main lodge, and visiting with other guests (all the equipment is free to use). David and Carmen and their family took great care of the guests, and the property is well-maintained. In fact, it's the best-maintained lodge on the island, in my opinion! During the summer, the young grandsons also kept the guests' children entertained playing together ... although sometimes were a little bothersome (peeking into cabins windows, banging on the cabin walls, underneath the cabin banging on the floor...). The journey out to the caye was a bit rough in the rainy weather, but the captain took good care of us. On the way back to the mainland, it was smooth sailing and rather a pleasant 30 minute journey. There is a small epi-bar at the other end of the island that was open a few hours a day that sold chips, snacks, pop and beer, but other bars are open in high season. It was a really great experience to visit Tobacco Caye - rustic, but lovely. Hope to travel there again!
