We had originally reserved a room in Lanas, another hotel in Tabacco Caye, but did not like the room and as Blue Dolphin had cabins available we were able to switch. It was much nicer being in our own little beach cabin with its terrace with deckchair and hammock, to a cramped room in Lanas. The cabin is basic but... More

My wife Joy and I stayed at Blue Dolphin (formerly Gaviota but under now run by a couple that we thought were great!) for 4 nights in mid-October, 2012. The owners are in the process of making improvements to the grounds, but nothing about the food needed improving! They fed us plenty of wonderful home-cooked Belizean meals and were very... More

Stayed 3 nights and left early, reluctantly got a refund for the fourth night. BED BUGS! Got eaten alive. They tried to say it was mosquito bites but obviously bed bugs.

Our time at this hostel was very enjoyable and relaxing. We recieved friendly service, help arranging outings and equipment, and good meals. The hostel is under new management and was above our expectation considering the price. It was on par with other places that were twice as expensive.

When I tell people about my fantastic trip to Belize, I always start with our experience at the Tobacco Caye. This is a very small rustic island with very friendly people and FANTASTIC diving and fishing. The couple at Gaviota resort made us feel right at home the second we got off the boat. If you really want to recharge... More

After a long trip through central America we were looking for a relaxing place on a pristine , natural island and found this to 100 % on Tobacco caye at Gaviota´s . It´s not only the place which is great , just on the seaside with superb views from the balcony , also the couple running this nice place ,... More

The island is very tiny to the point of being a bit claustrophobic. There's a lot of trash laying about. Your options for food are limited to wherever you're staying, as the island is too tiny to have a market of any sort. If you try out one place and dislike it, you could try another, but the island is... More
