It is one of the best places in the world - what else can you really say? It is as close to a little paradise as I can imagine. Secluded, but close. Comfortable, but not ostentatious. This was my second visit, and it was even more wonderful than the first. I lucked out, though, in that I really bonded with... more

I was drawn to Hickatee Cottages by their website and we are so glad that we managed to get to Punta Gorda over Easter. As a result we had the great pleasure of exploring, although ever so briefly, a bit of Toledo district. Kate and Ian are wonderful hosts; they accomodated our last minute requests and gracefully assisted us in... more

It's really hard to write an original review, it's all been said already. It's even harder to sound objective, when every little detail is looked after and nothing is left to critique. We travelled with a five month old baby and the hosts, Ian and Kate, made every effort to make our stay as pleasant and relaxing as possible. Kate... more

Last minute travels and a longing to visit southern Belize brought me to Ian and Kate, the proprietors of Hickatee Cottages. Located a mile outside of Punta Gorda and nestled in the middle of the jungle Ian and Kate provide maticulous service and scrumptious meals, with many ingredients from their own garden. Slept like a baby to the sounds of... more

Nothing less than lovely. It's been said before, but believe it: Ian and Kate are delightful hosts, the food is scrumptious, the rooms are wonderful. At the end, you'll probably make a bee line for your computer and write a good Trip Advisor review. The place has a quiet grace. It is impressively self-sufficient, from the bedspreads and curtains Kate... more

Many travelers to Belize overlook the Toledo District. If you should ever find yourself there, take our advice and stay at Hickatee Cottages. Ian and Kate personify the word "innkeeper". Their rooms are well appointed with extras that you would not ordinarily find in southern Belize, and even better...the rooms are spotless! The level of personal service we experienced at... more

Hickatee Cottages is a very comfortable and attractive jungle lodge that is highlighted by the warm friendliness of the proprietors, Kate and Ian. Although Hickatee is only a mile and a half out of town, it truly is in the jungle. On two separate days, we were able to see a troupe of howler monkeys from the trails that wind... more

Cannot say enough about Hickatees, Ian and Kate have literally carved out a small paradise in the jungle. One night it rained and rained hard, the next morning the grounds were flooded (our cottage was not, perfectly dry ) my wife and I our comtemplating the short bu†, due to heavy rain wet walk to where the breakfast is served,... more

Hickatee Cottage is a beautiful piece of paradise nestled in the jungles of Belize. The owners, Kate and Ian, served fantastic fresh food every evening. The menu had 3 dinner choices with an assortment of wine, beer and other spirits. They are extremely knowledgeable about Belize and can direct you to many different activities and will even set up excursions... more
