For some reason we were put in the main house instead of one of the bungalows like the other guests who purchased the same Groupon package. They were painting so we had men outside our windows each day and no where to hang out by the water. The deck was shared by the path up to the crows nest so... More

Thank you Kari for your candid review. The 'main house' as we call Room 9 is either a love it or hate it type of unit it seems. Some of our repeat guests request this unit for the extra space and the privacy as it is not on the main path while others feel it is out of the way... More

My husband and I just returned from a 6 night stay at Hatchet Caye. It was wonderful! The staff are very friendly and really go the extra mile to ensure that your stay is a memorable one. We stayed in room 7, which has its own private beach at the far end of the island. The food was excellent and... More

My husband and I decided to go to Hatchet Caye for our Honeymoon to have that "middle of nowhere" feel and get a complete break from reality! And boy did we ever! From the minute we stepped on the boat in Placencia, to the minute we stepped off the boat 5 days later to go home, it was the best... More

Visited this paradise for our honeymoon. the mrs didn't want to leave, pretty much had to drag her off the island. it is simply beautiful. Our days started with a great breakfast, then off to the beach for some snorkeling, scuba or kayaking. then some lunch (lionfish tacos were GREAT!), after a nap in the hammocks, some more snorkeling around...

My husband and I recently visited Hatchet Caye for our honeymoon and I didn't want to leave!! After getting married in the Dominican Republic with 45 guests we were super excited to be on an island with only a few other guests and lots of peace and quiet! The travel getting there is pretty much an all day affair but... More

I will update this review when we get home, but let me just say now that this island is truly paradise! The staff is amazing and will accommodate any request. If you can't relax here, you can't relax anywhere! We travel extensively, and this is the first location that we have ever been to that we plan on returning every... More

My wife and I went to Hatchet Caye in February for the best vacation we have ever had and we've been all over Europe, Central and South America, Hawaii. This is our favorite place in the whole world.

I won't go in to great detail in this review but want to make it clear just how wonderful this place is. The cabanas are clean and comfortable. The island is beautiful and tropical, with little walkways from your cabana to the restaurant. The food was incredible, honestly some of the best seafood dishes we have ever had. Drinks were... More

My boyfriend and I recently traveled to Hatchet Caye which is literally heaven on earth where EVERYONE is welcome! Being on an island that's 18 miles off the coast of Placencia makes for the perfect get-away. Because at Hatchet Caye you can choose to do as much or as little as you want.

If you leave this island without trying the Lionfish Tacos you will miss out on one of life's greatest experiences in seafood :-) One day I managed breakfast, lunch and dinner on Lionfish and loved every minute of it. We stayed in Cabana #4 and it had an ocean view but we spent most of our time on the pier... More
