China Town Hotel, Caye Caulker

Room and pool area were good. Entrance area was a bit noisy.

The China Town Hotel is the best large place to stay on the island of Caye Caulker. It's centrally located on the south side of the island south of the Split between the snorkeling area and the boating area. There is a restaurant and a supermarket on the premises. The restaurant serves breakfast then opens again for dinner. Bar with music on premises as well. The rooms are cleaned every day and the staff is very friendly. There is a very large outdoor space with some shade and some direct sun space. The outdoor pool is not heated but the typical hot Caribbean sun makes a coolish water tolerable. There is space for laying out by the pool if you want to tan. There are common areas on the different floors with benches and swings. Affordable rates and multiple bed rooms are available. It is very safe as you must go through the restaurant waiting area then the common area to get to the stairs to the floors. No rooms are accessible from the street. Plenty of fun nearby. The only place to eat after midnight is Munchies which is on the next block over. You can see it from the rooftop of the hotel. There are often lines. The I and I reggae bar usually has crowds after midnight and dance music. Island Temptations around the corner serves cooked breakfasts. Panda chinese restaurant nearby is very good as well. Island Queen three blocks west of the hotel is the bar where the locals go. Everything else on the main drag is touristy but affordable and enjoyable.

Not the nicest hotel but the desk manager was amazing and it's attached to a supermarket, chinese joint (delicious) and bar/slot casino. Was watching a boxing match in the bar when at 1 amthey just shut down everything.decided to head up to room to see if maybe the ppv was available up there, it wasn't but i heard some people watching it in the lobby. It was the people who worked there. I asked them if it would be ok to watch with them and the front desk guy said of course. Would definitely stay here again for a budget view on the area,

Wow where to start, it's just out dated, and in need of lots of maintenance. But the internet was quick.

ice cold AC! was very clean. only downside is pond had a smell to it but we were either in our room, out and about, or on 3rd floor in the sitting area! would highly recommend for caye caulker!

The staff, particularly Andrew, was extremely helpful. My room was immaculate.

Originally i had booked the standard room which at $60, i thought must be great, but the room i was shown was quite small with no window, not ideal for a claustrophobic! I asked for another room but that had a small window so i upgraded to the $98 one at the top, much better, a big room with 2 king size beds and two windows plus a fabulous view of the sea 😊 bit pricy but my last few days of holidays and it was Christmas. Water is replaced everyday bit instead of plastic bottles it would be better if they had a water machine in reception like other hotels had. Andrew is a lovely receptionist and nothing was too much trouble for him.

Basic, but pretty good for Caye Caulker if you aren't paying for top of the market. To get a family room (3 beds / 5 people), for £90, with TV, aircon and clean sheets is a bargain now.
