Stayed here for 3 nights in total with a friend, we both love cats and dogs. Madi(?), the owner of the hostel, was a very friendly and informative woman. She explained to us that she used to own a snorkel shop and saw people dumping things off her docks early in the mornings which turned out to be little kittens... More

I am so happy I chose Pause to stay for two days in Caye Caulker, not only the location and the services it offered were satisfactory but also the concept behind it, giving shelter to the cats of the island, which I loved it indeed. Highly recommendable if you are running away from the big city where you live. Luckily,... More

Staying at Pause is a real pause from the ordinary tourist track. With your own private deck, a boat roof to enjoy the sunset from, and a clean, fully equipped studio flat to call your home in Caye Caulker - what more could you ask for? Friendly helpful hostess? - Check! Free coconuts? - Check! Best sunset spot on the... More

Anywhere you stay on Caye Caulker you have proximity to the beach and nightlife, but I think no other accomodation can you get such a personal and genuine experience! Madi was the sweetest host ever, happy to tell us about the island, the people and give us other relevant information that we needed. We were pleasantly surprised to see there... More

A Caye Caulker golf-cart taxi driver did not recognize the name Hotel Pause, but he was familiar with the place: ”Oh, you mean the cathouse.” Cats dominate the image of Madi Collin's small hotel and they dominate her life but you don't have to pay attention to cats if you don't want to. All the 87 resident cats look sleek... More

I didn't know what to expect when I walked over to P.A.W. Cat Sanctuary, but I can tell you my stay here has been wonderful. I'm steps away from the ocean and a dock where I have done most of my writing on this trip. As for the lodging, I stayed in the cabana, which I had to myself for... More

We had the amazing opportunity to stay with Madi during our stay on Caye Caulker. First of all- Madi is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. She will go out of her way to ensure that you are comfortable and help with any questions you have during your trip. Let's be clear- because some people didn't bother... More

It always feels good when you have fun while helping those in need. Madi's Pause Accommodation provides all this and more. She arranged for a taxi to pick us up in Belize City and the driver even helped us get the right tickets for our boat trip to Caye Cauylker. Once there Madi arranged for a golf cart taxi to... More
