We got to De Real Macaw after staying at Ambergris Caye. When we arrived my reaction was "this is it?" I had reserved (and paid extra) for a beach view room. Well, saying this is room is beach front is a bit of a stretch. In between the room and the ocean is the main street on Caye Caulker (though... More

If you are a budget minded traveler that prefers to use your money on your vacation other than the place you lay your head then this is the hotel for you. The location is perfect and the rooms are everything you need. I stayed in #6 that has a double bed and single bed. For 2 of us it was... More

This is a very basic hotel on Caye Caulker. The air conditioner was sub par so you are just as good to get a room without ac since it didn't seem to work well. The place is small, old, and about as plain jane as you can get. There really is nothing in the U.S. that would be on this... More

Lovely, clean cabanas with private balconies. We had one with a double bed on bottom and single bed on top. Slept really well all 3 nights we stayed there. Good value for money. Friendly owner. Hot showers. I would definitely recommend it.

Our family recently had the great opportunity to stay at De Real Macaw. This tropical accommodation on the beach was fantastic. The service was great and our rooms were clean and refreshing when we returned from each day's adventure. Rob was very helpful providing local information. We did a day trip to San Pedro and Ambergris Caye and were so... More

My wife and u stayed here for two nights and had a great experience. The showers were good, service solid and location unbeatable! We would recommend travellers try this place out as the value was good for a somewhat basic accommodation right in the Center of the strip!

Six of us stayed in de Real Macaw 2 bedroom condo for five days. It's in a great location and has a huge deck with 2 hammocks where we spent many hours watching the entrancing view. It's at the north end of Front street, just a short walk from the split where the best swimming beach is and still in... More

Writing as we speak from the veranda at De Real Macaw... Three of us girls stayed here March 26-April 1. Great location, tons of space in the Beach Front House for us. Excellent view from the deck, good proximity to front street eats and drinks, close to The Split. There was no AC as advertised; well, if there was we... More

Our group stayed in the upper level 2 bedroom condo for 4 nights. There was excellent air conditioning, two units in kitchen and largest bedroom. The views from the front porch were of the ocean and interesting folks who walked along Front Street. The two hammocks were a real hit and we all brought one home so there'd be no... More

I almost hesitate to write because this place was so great I don't want it spoiled. I stayed at 5 properties in Belize on this trip - this was the second cheapest, and by far my favorite. From the moment we got there until the moment we left, we were made to feel comfortable and welcomed. Yes, it's a budget... More
