Tropical Paradise Hotel – Caye Caulker Review
We just returned from a trip to Caye Caulker Island, where we stayed at the Tropical Paradise Hotel. Overall, our stay was good, but there were a few areas that could use improvement.
Housekeeping was inconsistent. If we didn’t specifically request our room to be cleaned, it didn’t get done. We also asked for a king bed but were given two double beds instead, which was a bit tight and uncomfortable for my wife and me.
That said, it’s not a bad hotel for the money. The absolute best part of our stay was Mrs. B, who sells tours on the beach. She was fantastic, and the guys who took us out snorkeling were excellent—truly the highlight of our trip. There are many tour options on the island, but our experience with them was top-notch.
Some of the hotel staff seemed to have an “OK, we’ll get to it” attitude, and a couple of our requests were forgotten altogether. I understand island life moves at a slower pace, but it was still noticeable. The young man running the restaurant in the mornings also lacked enthusiasm, which didn’t make for the best start to the day.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad stay, but I’m not sure we would choose to stay here again.
Thank you,
Chuck and Sabrina
