What a beautiful country and one of the most hospitable people you’ll ever meet. El Ben Cabañas is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in. Coming to a country for the first time can be so intimidating but they have made it so seamless and wonderful. They are located in the North side of Caye Caulker where it is more quiet, I couldn’t have picked a better spot to have a relaxed time. They accommodated my early last minute arrival and I was greeted by Britney with a big smile along with the different workers there! Moren the main manager was also incredible and I very much felt like family in the time spent here. Plus the food in their restaurant is phenomenal. I will definitely be back!
