The Telegraph5.0
"South Water Caye enjoys a privileged position right on the Belize Barrier Reef and is popular with snorkellers and divers looking for a low-key and affordable getaway." Full review
Fodor's "Steps from one of Belize's best beaches, where you can swim, snorkel, and dive from shore, and fish to your heart's content, is this former convent turned peaceful island retreat on 3½ seaside acres." Full review
Frommer's "Operated by the folks at the Pelican Beach Resort in Dangriga, this isolated island getaway is one of the best-run little resorts on these little cayes" Full review
Lonely Planet "The hotel is close to the airport and has clean, but uninspiring rooms with TV, air-con and colorful local artwork. Most rooms have beach-facing porches with hammocks.
