El Ben is a great space with very friendly and helpful staff! Great accessibility to explore the North Side and for trips to the South Side, too. Would definitely recommend & stay there again.

Beautiful stay, great service and would highly recommend!
Great cabanas that were clean & with everything you need. Staff were fantastic and we enjoyed the restaurant. Loved being in a quiet setting but near town, and the free boat transfers worked great.
Great customer service they made us feel very welcoming. Thumbs up to the restaurant staff that served us great food every time. I would recommend this resort to everyone who wants to visit Belize. We enjoyed visiting the split where most activities were and great food.
Great rooms. Boat service across the split was a life saver

We loved El Ben Cabanas! The staff was so welcoming and helpful. The grounds are quiet and peaceful. The cabana had all the modern conveniences we could ask for. It was an excellent stay!
Wonderful spacious cabanas, so cool inside with large beds and a roomy shower. The on-site restaurant was also fabulous. The staff were incredibly helpful. This north side of the Split on Caye Caulker is pristine and quiet. Town is a short hop on a golf cart and 2 min ferry ride.
Everything was great just being on the other side of the island is an inconvenience as boats from hotel only run this certain time after they stop you have to figure out your own way back to the hotel
Excellent property on the north part of the island.Front desk staff, restaurant and bar staff. We're all very kind and knowledgeable, special shout out to Keith Golf cart driver extraordinaire.And the unofficial concier recommended great snorkel charter... Well done
