It was a wonderful experience. The facilities were great: the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The house's setup was very warm and comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful and fun, always available to answer questions, make suggestions, and give tours. I do suggest, however, that anyone staying for more than a few days consider cooking, as restaurants in PG close... more

Hickatee cottages was the perfect jungle paradise! Ian and Kate treat there guest as old friends, after a week you feel like family. The cottages themselves are confortable and charming. Anyone looking to find the REAL Belize and immerce themselves in the culture, this is THE place to stay. I will be returning to Belize and would not even think... more

Hickatee Cottages was, for us, the perfect mix of jungle, wildlife and birds with the familiar comforts that make us feel at home. After four previous trips to Belize, we decided to venture further south, to the Toledo District. We chose Hickatee Cottages primarily because of the location and guest reviews. Their website and all the stellar reviews, written and... more

This past August my husband and I enjoyed a week visiting Belize. The highlight of the trip was the visit to Punta Gorda and the accommodations at the Coral House Inn. It was exactly what we were looking for.....quiet time enjoying the view of the Caribbean, relaxing in the hammock while reading a good book, bicycling to the market and... more

I was looking for a quiet place to hang-out in Punta Gorda for a week, whilst visiting family. The hotel is on a quiet stretch in the middle of the bay. The building is new and well kept, and has good staff that go out of their way help you and welcome you to this peaceful town. For lunch you... more

As an addict to salt water fly fishing, I've made several trips to Belize in recent years, Following a week of fly fishing out of San Pedro, my wife and I decided to extend out trip and visit Punta Gorda after having heard it is a uniquely Belizean community still largely unchanged by tourism. Rather arbitrarily we selected the Coral... more

We stayed at the Coral House Inn in Punta Gorda Belize on a stopover and liked it so well that we returned and spent a week. This is a lovely small inn. The ocean front property faces the Bay of Hondurus. The pool, patio and gardens are beautiful and provided a much needed retreat. It was so peaceful and relaxing... more

We recently traveled to Belize and Guatemala. After visiting the ruins at Tikal, we traveled south through Belize to Punta Gorda before continuing to Antigua, Guatemala. We had heard about the Coral House Inn in Punta Gorda and had reserved a room. Arriving somewhat worn out by our travel, we were able to relax and recharge in this very nice... more

My friend and I stayed at Hickatee Cottages our first three nights in Belize and it was a great start to our two weeks in Belize. The hosts went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay comfortable and fun! They helped us with planning day trips, arranging transportation, and the meals were fabulous. The cottages are... more

I stayed at the BlueBelize Guesthouse for 3 or 4 nights in July 2008. Loved the room, especially the kitchenette and the restroom. They were beautiful, clean, well-appointed and airy. Great views from the porch and front windows. It would be great if they get cable t.v. in the rooms so a traveler can watch CNN in the evening! more

I highly recommend the Coral House Inn. It's clean, safe, and well-run. I asked the owners, Darla and Rick, about 1,001 questions about Belize and Guatemala and they gave lots of information and insight. After being on the road for 10 days I was happy to be able to see the cable t.v. at night and use the computer to... more

My family recently concluded our first trip to Punta Gorda where we spent 5 delightful nights at Hickatee Cottages. We are fairly well seasoned travelers to Central America and Mexico and can sincerely state that we have never enjoyed the high level of professionalism, hospitality and warmth afforded to us by the proprietors, Ian and Kate Morton. We like to... more

Well, I want to make this short sweet, and informative: I was apprehensive at first ( going to Hickatee) because there were no (to my memory) bad reviews) of Hickatee so I assumed that it was probaby the friends and family of Kate and Ian writing the wonderful reviews. Yes, I said it, you probably thought of it as well.... more

very comfortable cabanas, excellent service, lovely people, but the dinner menu never changed while we were there and some of the food eg the steak was inedible and I got fed up with fish smothered in tomato sauce with black olives . Incredible birds, toucans vermilion flycatchers bat falcons etc and booming howler monkeys at dawn made this a fabulous... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Coral House Inn. The owners Rick and Darla made you feel so at home. The rooms were very comfortable with air conditioning and cable television. The grounds were beautiful with flowers and tropical foilage complimenting the decor of the inn. The view and the breeze from the Gulf of Hondurus made it the perfect... more

I stayed at Cotton Tree Lodge from July 13-20 2008 for my honeymoon. The experience was absolutely wonderful. The staff on hand at Cotton Tree (especially the cooks!) were warm, friendly and helpful every step of the way. Daily activities included tortilla making, chocolate making, kayaking, spelunking, visiting with a harp maker (1997 Belizean Musician of the Year!), hiking, horseback... more

My husband and I stayed at BlueBelize for a week in October 2007. Rachel and Dan picked us up from the Punta Gorda airport and took us to the beautiful, airy flat on the second floor of their house. The flat had a comfortable bed, futon, table, and chairs--simple but very nice. The free wifi came in handy when I... more

This was our first trip to Belize and we loved it. Kate and Ian were great hosts and were very helpful in everything from the booking of the plane from Belize City to Punta Gorda to trips we did everyday while there. Kate is an excellent cook! Ian has such dry sense of humor and I enjoyed the interaction between... more

My daughter & I stayed at Hickatee Cottages for 4 nights. The cottages are in a beautiful natural setting, yet within an easy cycle ride or walk of PG. The tropical garden is natural & serene, and flows imperceptibly into the surrounding jungle. The cottages provide all the comforts any sane traveller would need, and, in addition your own verandah,... more
