Hotels near Maskall Forest Reserve

"Great vacation and location. Not much to do on the island but if looking for laid back this is the place. Sargasm is pretty thick in the spring and summer and can be stinky. No beach. We took a boat out for the day and was amazing. Also hung out at the split. "

"Room dirty. Literal dust on our fingers when we used the railing. The towels and robes were stained. The pool towels were shredded and had holes. The staff was slow and half of them were incompetent. The managers were kind, but you shouldn’t need to involve a manager for every little thing. The food is bad and on the last day we ordered tiramisu that came frozen (after Princess told us they had a baker) and the whipped cream on top had turned and was sour- this skeeved us out- it was impossible not to consider what other food may have been expired or close to expired. Honestly this property is a bad look for Hilton and I don’t recommend for anyone. The pool server spilled a drink on my book and just left it there to soak. He couldnt even be bothered to wipe it or move it. In fact, he just left the lime and straw on the ground and pretended it didn’t even happen. I could go on…. Our stay was pitiful. Waste of money and waste of time. Extremely disappointing. "

"Clean room, nice staff, chill atmosphere "

"Lovely hosts! Everything you need for a comfortable, safe and independent stay on Caye Caulker. We had the room on the top floor, with a King bed, SPACIOUS private bathroom, our own fridge and patio, plus easy access to the main communal patio and kitchen. Lots of great local recommendations provided. Easy, complimentary access to bicycles and a small pool. The dogs are friendly. This is the PERFECT place to stay for folks like us who enjoy a quiet retreat away from the "busy" zone and we enjoyed the exercise (we biked everywhere). This may not be for everybody, based on other reviews and comments from other guests, please be aware of the following: - there are (friendly) dogs on the property - the property is a 25 minute walk from the main part of town / most activities & restaurants. If you are not comfortable walking this EACH way, or riding a (complimentary) bicycle on dirt roads (that can get quite muddy) in sometimes unpredictable weather (*it rained a lot while we were there) consider a different option, closer to town. You can get golf cart taxis, of course. BIG PLUS: Throughout the Caribbean, the sargassum (stinky seaweed) issue is extreme and EARLY (in March it is not usually a problem but this year it is). Many waterfront properties on the EAST side of Caye Caulker are subject to the very unpleasant, intrusive smell of rotting sargassum. At Shipwreck Cove, you are completely free of this nuisance. "

"Great location, amazing rooftop views, very friendly staff. Clean large room. "

"We traveled as a family of 4 and stayed in the suite which included 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a family room with a fridge. There are many great things to note, the space is as described “a jungle resort.” We were immersed in the jungle vibe with coconut trees, all sorts of birds and other wildlife. Our room included made to order breakfast, which was always delicious and we opted to dine in the tree house. The kids enjoyed the pools and I loved the mineral bath. The hosts were very accommodating and there is a restaurant on premises. Special shoutout to Gloria, Benito and Orlando, they made our stay worth it. Things to be mindful of, it’s a hidden gem so a bit secluded and the roads getting in are full of pot holes. It’s about an hour drive from the airport and they offer pickup and drop off services. We opted to rent a car which was helpful. There is a spa, we didn’t have an opportunity to try it but I heard great things. "

"Staff was great ..pool , restaurant ,bar all were awesome..only 2 major problems 1st every phone number I tried ( including the key card holder and Expedia listed number) didn’t work. Front desk gentlemen gave me a number that was not close to not one of the numbers on the website or on Expedia or their in-house key card holder. 2nd I understand it was a super busy week for them however, the room I got everything was amazing except the fact that I felt like I was in a closet not one window and unfortunately, they said they didn’t have another room to give me, I felt like it was a cave but a really nice cave. Tahinia & Jamir (sorry if I misspelled it.) a great first impression when you walk into the hotel both are very kind very polite and very helpful."

"Property and staff were lovely. But, the sargassum was so bad due to the location among the mangroves that the rotten smell permeated the whole property including our cabana. I know that’s completely out of the hotel"

"Pool was clean and perfect! The area was quiet, and host was so nice, the room was beautiful, but the bar was closed so it was a hit hard getting good & drinks, but beautiful place! I will def go back!"
