The property was an oasis in a rural area, out of the town but with easy access. The palapa style cottage rooms were quaint and well appointed. Dining was excellent. The staff were all friendly, attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend staying here when in Caye Caulkner.

El Ben is outstanding!
This is the friendliest and most peaceful stay imaginable. We love this ambiance and the kindness of the staff! The pina colada is the best ever! The waters so pristine. Fabulous lobster and coconut! We would return in a heartbeat

Property was very clean and in order. Staff was very attentive to the resort area. Kudos to the front desk staff (Harold snd Tyra). Harold was excellent in coordinating our transport around the island and making sure we were safe at all times. My only complaint is the golf cart and its limited seating ... we were a party of 7, and that called for 2 trips (pick up and drop off). Allen our speed driver was on time and professional. Nick (bartender/server) was very friendly always asking and ensuring we were ok. To sum it up..... it was a rime well spent!!

The property itself is awesome - very nice rooms. Its a little inconvenient with their shuttle, especially get back to the resort, found it easier to just take the Split shuttle and walk.

El Ben is close to the split on the North side, it's relatively new and the accommodations are great. There's an on-site restaurant and bar and the staff are totally there for your every need. They offer to take you to and pick you up at the ferry pier on the South side, there's a published schedule. They will also take you by golf cart to the split or the local restaurants on the North side. Would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others. Check-in and out was seamless, Harold even had a welcome cocktail for us!
