We had read a few reviews online and learned about De Real Macaw frmo our Lonely Planet book, and were so pleasantly surprised how wonderful our stay was here. Staff were super friendly, and it was great because they made suggestions on places to go and things to see while we were in Caye Caulker. It's great that the island... More

I didn't know what, exactly, to expect out of this place, but after seeing the budget hotel we stayed at on another island, I was incredibly pleased with De Real Macaw. Super-friendly staff, amazing location, beautiful room. Bunk bed actually wasn't that bad!! Hammocks are a massive bonus. Slept more than one night in mine. Chose a room without AC... More

We were planning on spending 2 nights and ended up here for 5. We stayed in the "Tree House" which is in the back away from the road but we can still see the water. We chose this unit with out AC. The room was hot during the day but has a great deck where we spent our time, and... More

We spent 5 days here and the rooms were everything we needed with lots of hot water and a tv if you need it. The location couldn’t have been better and the owners were very accommodating. We reported a problem with the shower one evening and it was immediately fixed the next day.

Our party rented 4 rooms at De Real Macaw stayed 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The rooms were well equipped, AC was awesome, the grounds were immaculate, the staff very efficient & helpful and the owners were on site. The hotel is very close to the best beach/chill area on Caulker (The Split) and the ocean breeze is nearly... More

We stayed at De Real Macaw for a week in February 2012, on our first trip to Caye Caulker. In short, we loved it and intend to repeat. Belize is fantastic, but our stay in Caye Caulker was the highlight. The lodging at De Real Macaw is no-frills but very comfortable--especially for the price. It is clean, safe, the owners/staff...

De Real Macaw is a fun and funky place to stay. It has just the right mixture of casual, island friendliness and good organization. The best part is that it is set back a bit from the street so is not noisy but is in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the fascinating town; and it has nice... More

We enjoyed our stay at De Real Macaw and it was an overall good value. We stayed in two different rooms during our stay (it was high season and we booked a little late, so we knew we'd be switching rooms in advance). Both rooms were nicely equipped with kitchenettes (one was pretty robust with its own sink, etc.) which... More

De Real Macaw is a lovely place to stay in a good location with helpful friendly owners and good sized, very clean rooms. Easily accessible from the dock on arrival. We had a good sized front facing cabin, lovely hammocks on the porch to relax and read in. Bikes to rent at reasonable prices. Good bathroom and shower and a... More
