Cute hotel on the waterfront

Reviewed Nov 15, 2022
I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as part of an organised tour. Caye Caulker south island is very small and you can walk from the south point to the north point in 20 minutes, but the hotel was well located as it's close to both boat docks. It's close enough to bars and restaurants to be convenient, but far enough away for it not to be noisy (apart from the place right across the street). The grounds are very cute, it's quite small but pretty and the sea is just across the path from the pool area. They gave out pool towels which we could be exchanged every other day. The hotel has wifi which was great by the pool and bar area, but didn't work so well in my room which was on the upper floor.

My room was ok, and large enough with a double/full bed which was comfortable, and very clean. There was air conditioning which worked mostly ok and a fan. I didn't find the bathroom particularly well laid out, there wasn't much surface area for toiletries, and lacked items such as a hair dryer. There was no bath tub but the shower was large enough, and it had reliable hot water and pressure nearly all of the time. The tap water on Caye Caulker comes from a desalination plant on the island which I don't think works that well, not the hotel's fault but it means that the shower and sink water smells a bit of sea.

We had breakfast on both days which was ok, the offerings were a little slim but it's only a small hotel, and it's served outside though it's possible to sit inside at the bar. There was cereal, bread for toasting, waffles, fruit, yoghurt, granola, and either rolls or pastries as well as coffee, tea, and orange juice. The bar at the hotel was quite good, happy hour was 3-7 pm, it was quite cheap and the offerings were ok.

Overall it's a nice small hotel, very much in vibe with the island. I'd say by international standards it's around a 3 star hotel.

The thing I loved the most is the people who administer this hotel. They are so warm and welcoming, they know what hospitality means. The free breakfast was delicious, also, the bedrooms have all the stuff you need to be comfortable. The upgrade for a Jacuzzi bedroom is worth it!

Room tip: Jacuzzi room!

We reached out to Seaside Cabanas via email prior to booking. They were very accommodating and quickly responded. We booked room 18 which had two patios, an outdoor daybed, a hot tub, and a kitchenette area. We came with 3 people, so they were able to provide an extra bed downstairs for us. The only downside of that room was the amount of stairs that had to be climbed. The room is upstairs to begin with, and after you enter the room, the bathroom is on the upper level. The room has a set of steep stairs with no rails that reach the bedroom and bathroom. If you struggle with stairs, we do not recommend this room. The bedroom was beautiful and the bathroom had a nice shower window. Rooms were cleaned regularly. A pitcher of filtered water was also provided for us in the room. The patio provided great views. The hot tub was cold when we arrived since it had to be manually turned on for a while before it would heat up. The hot tub was smaller compared to the other rooms. The staff at the "Uno Mas Bar" was great. I believe the bartender's name was Rose. She served us great drinks our whole stay. The location was so convenient since it was about a 2 minute walk to the San Pedro Express ferry. Overall good experience.

Seaside Cabanas was strongly recommended to us by a friend and, except for one problem, it exceeded our high expectations. We stayed in the two-story unit that has a thatched roof. One night, very strong winds opened several holes in the roof, allowing rain to pour into the upstairs bedroom. The staff's response was wonderful and we were quickly moved to a new unit. It's time, though, to replace the thatch with a solid roof. Other than that, we highly recommend Seaside Cabanas because of its staff, the great views, and the private rooftop hot tubs.

The hotel is clean, the breakfast is very basic and was the same everyday (cereal and sweet roll). Location is very good however there's a restaurant behind it with loud live music so if you are a light sleeper you may struggle
