If you are looking to relax and get away from it all this is the place to go to. The barrier reef is a short distance away and full of beautiful corals and colorful fish.

Absolutely loved staying here, and would recommend this to anyone and everyone. South water Caye is a very small island, and we felt very safe and happy the whole time.
