I don't know what I can add to all these wonderful reviews about Hickatee Cottages except that my husband and I stayed 2 nights in the detached cottage last week and we loved it so much that we never left the grounds except to go out to dinner on the one night that Kate did not cook. The cottage was... More

It's too bad Tripadvisor only allows five stars. Our overall stay and the service we received at Hickatee was priceless. 1) The service: The owners, Ian and Kate, are two of the most fun and personable people I've ever known. They truly love to entertain and it shows in everything they do - they make you feel like a guest,... More

My wife and I along with 9 close friends just got back from a fantastic 8 night vacation in Belize. We spent the 1st 3 nights at Hickatee and could not have started our adventure any better. The grounds are pure tropical with great palm trees and lots of flowering shrubs (and this was the dry season). The cottages are... More

Hickatee Cottages was a first stop on our trip around Belize and we wern't sure what to expect. Our Travel Company's guide said the accomodation was basic. Don't belive it. The cottages were raised on stilts and spotlessly clean and almost hidden from each other by the forest. The setting is idilic. Because they are made from timber you don't... More

We stayed the duplex cottage for our family of 5. The rooms were clean comfortable and very large. Ian and Kate were the perfect hosts. The place was very quiet as there were only one other set of guests. Fresh coffee and juice delivered to our veranda at 7 every morning. Marvellous. Food was very good. Garifuna drumming on the...

This place is terrific. We found this to be a great jungle experience with wonderful hosts, great food, beautiful clean rooms and all at an excellent value. This is a "must stay" if you travel to southern Belize. Thanks to Ian and Kate More

We loved our stay at Hickatee. We started out with an eve. walk on their good trail into the jungle, and then enjoyed a delicious meal on their veranda. The food was without exception excellent. One of us needed to be gluten-free, and Kate was wonderful in finding foods and even experimenting with gluten-free English pancakes, just for us! Everything... More

There are many great things in Belize - this is a gem and one of them. Super place, set on the edge of the jungle. Amazing hosts and cats! Get Ian to do a night walk in the jungle and marvel at his knowledge of bugs. Kate's food is super (not at all sure how she manages!) and start with... More
