Ray Caye Island Resort

Our 5 star experience at Ray Caye Island Resort⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We stayed 5 days and 4 nights in celebration of our Silver Anniversary & birthdays. A postcard perfect, private paradise. We were welcomed immediately with tasty tropical drinks and a tour of the incredible island. We stayed in bungalow #20, 1 of their 2 honeymoon suites. Our accommodations were clean, cozy and comfortable. We were mesmerized with the amazing view out our patio along with an infinity pool. Scenery that we could have stared at all day long. The room was well equipped with a king bed, ceiling fan, a/c and a large bathroom. There was also a side patio complete with a hammock fit for 2! The meals…OMG, the meals were gourmet!!! We read a review warning that there was only 1 restaurant on the island so our choices would be limited. Yes, there is only 1 restaurant currently on the island but it’s all you would need. Their breakfast & lunch menu is the same daily with plenty of selections. We tried something different every day. Dinner menu varied every night. The food was so flavorful and always creatively presented. All menu items are made from scratch including their delicious bread! They maintain an impressive organic garden on the island where much of the vegetables and herbs are grown and used. Their drink menu was vast. Especially loved their refreshingly yummy signature mixed drinks. We opted to include the private, romantic beach dinner for two on the occasion of our 25th anniversary. The amiable staff executed this so well. If you’re looking for adventure, the resort offers plenty of excursions. Our purpose was to pretty much chill the whole trip but we did go out on the Silk Caye snorkel. Highly recommend this excursion. I enjoyed the snorkeling but decided to stay on the boat while my husband & dive master Bryan swam with the sharks. Bryan and Captain Sydney were wonderful guides. There is also the famous Ray Caye water slide that was a fun bonus! There is much to be admired on this picturesque island but the most impressive thing about our stay was the first class treatment from all the staff. Always a warm smile to greet you wherever you were on the island. The service was especially superb in the Lionfish Grill daily from Noe, Pablo, Morris & Franklin. Warm, welcoming and always accommodating. They always had our table romantically set for two with a view at each meal. Thank you Ray Caye resort for this very impressive introduction to beautiful Belize. We hope to be back some day!

We went back to Ray Caye Resort a year later and it was just as great. So great we moored off the resort for two nights and enjoyed the amenities. Some of our crew booked one of their scuba outings and had a great time even though they hadn't dove in many years. Food and drinks were delicious and there was a good selection available, even with very few guests during the off season. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Snorkeling right off the boat was very nice.

Amazing staff. Felt like family

A beautiful place in the world made more beautiful by your good stewardship and your friendly staff. We enjoyed the food, the amenities, and the accommodations. The sunsets on the island and the beautiful sunrise boat ride back to Placencia were nothing short of breathtaking.

This is a lovely quiet 7 acre resort island. It is surrounded by reef for all aquatic fun. There are 2 pools and one restaurant. One side is fairly calm with beautiful sand for swimming and playing in the ocean. The other side is more reef with tons of sea life to be seen from just the dock. All rooms are lovely. I would think this is more a couples or adult type of place as it is quiet and all about what's in the ocean. The negative is that there is only one restaurant and food options are limited. If you have any diet restrictions or needs, this is very difficult to accommodate. Also, they work on a running tab type situation. Prices are listed for breakfast and lunch (as many day trippers come in), but there are no prices on the very limited dinner menu. On one hand this is nice, as you don't need to carry around your wallet. On the other hand, you have no idea how much you are spending while you are there. The staff was fantastic, friendly and fun. Oh, and if you are going to Belize for the whale sharks - don't. They no longer show due to lack of food source.

Ray Caye Resort is our happy place. This was our second stay here. The island of course is beautiful, but it is so much more than just a pretty place. The people who tend to it and take care of you are kind, helpful and enjoyable. The food is so amazing. If you enjoy peace and quiet, water activities, pool time, diving, snorkeling, this is your place. You can stay busy or you can sit and read. We stayed in one of the two suites at the end of the island for the second time. The views are gorgeous. It is a great place to come to relax and unplug. You won't be disappointed. I hope that we will be able to visit again sometime.
