"What a delightful beachfront cabana. The cabana was clean, well stocked and comfortable with everything that we needed. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise and did yoga on the beach, it was so rejuvenating. Mariel was a wonderful host, the tours and dining options she recommended were fabulous. We would definitely stay here again!"

"Sattva Land was an incredible retreat for our family trip! The outdoor nature pool, fed by mountain water, was a highlight with its breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. As a vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free family, we were delighted by the delicious food options. The staff, especially Sam, were kind and made our stay memorable. The cabins were not only amazing but also beautifully designed. Highly recommend for a relaxing and enjoyable experience."

"Blue Marlin Beach Resort is a beautiful, idyllic, island resort that hosted my wife and I in January 2025. The resort is magnificently managed and run by a multi-generational, extended family of Belizeans that quickly included us as part of the family. They took exceptional care of us from our very late weather delayed arrival to our last day on the island. The coral island, covered with palm trees and continuously maintained, has several lovely, well-spaced private cottages. The family knows the reefs and guides with first hand knowledge. Snorkeling for a week, a couple times a day, with these guides and dive masters, was amazing and like snorkeling in an aquarium. The food was tremendous and the cooks and staff were lovely assuring we had whatever we wanted. We wanted fresh food, and the snapper and lobster were the freshest. We wanted to relax in the afternoon with a nice cool rum drink, and we had many to choose from to enjoy with our chef prepared afternoon snack. We wanted to hang out near the crystal-clear, azure-blue water of the Caribbean, and we were surrounded by it. Blue Marlin is a place to return to. The sun and moon rising and setting over the Caribbean are a beautiful site to behold every day on South Water Caye. One evening, on a January night with a rising full moon over the Caribbean, the cooks and staff prepared and served us our evening meal at a table they brought to our cottage and placed near the palms and the water’s edge. That evening created memories we will always hold. The cottages were beautiful with great, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, fresh water coolers, air conditioning (which we only needed once) and hammocks hung on the wrap around porch. Perhaps a green heron will walk by your cottage in the evening, or a small army of fiddler crabs may walk by in the night. The bonefish are pets. The island is fully run on solar power and has a desalinization system. The Belizean family that owns and operates the Blue Marlin Beach Resort has invested in the resort to maintain forward-looking island systems and a viable business to support the family. The only real beach on the island is at the south end, a very easy ten minute walk away through a university research facility and another small resort to the open beach. My snorkel directly from the beach out to the coral reef was another of the many amazing snorkeling trips we took. Cell service is mostly available. Wi-Fi is mostly available in the dining and bar area."
