Hard to find words of praise without bursting into song. Staff was friendly and accommodating from airport pickup to dropoff at Belize City dock. Dining room staff made every meal an occasion - as did, of course, the companionship of our family. With Cardinal as head divemaster and excellent assistants, I learned new skills, improved others, and was expertly guided... More

My wife and I had the most wonderful wedding ceremony at Blackbird Caye on 4/22/13. Paul German and all of the staff were outstanding and went above and beyond to make our special day absolutely perfect. We were so impressed with everything.

I've been to a dozen different locations in the Caribbean for dive trips, but Blackbird ranks right at the top. Loved the 5-10 minute boat rides out to dive sites. The coral and marine life of the reef was terrific. The dive leaders and boat staff were excellent; always right there to help you out if you needed and always... More

The diving was well organized and great. Cardinal is an exceptional dive master and makes a new diver feel very comfortable. Paul was very accommodating as well, when the weather did not cooperate, he was quick with solutions. All the staff was very personable and strived to make you feel at home, if there was something you wanted that was... More

Spent five days on the atoll the last week of April. I cannot imagine Blackbird Caye Resort getting anything other than five star reviews. From the staff, the management, the facilities, and the location, I still just shake my head in disbelief. Isolated island life at it's best. The management did change a few months ago, with the intention of... More

Just returned from a end of April visit to Blackbird Caye Resort with a dear friend. From the minute we were greeted at the airport in Belize City until the minute the plane took off for home, we were treated like royalty.

Where does one start when there are so many exceptionally good things to rave about once you have experienced the Blackbird Caye Resort? This incredibly intimate setting on a giant sandbar in the middle of green, blue and still bluer water leaves one breathless, serene, relaxed and completely raring to go all at the same time!
