The Hickatee Cottages is a wonderful place to stay. The cottages are very clean and furnished impeccably. Kate and Ian are very passionate and knowledgeable about the surrounding jungle, nature, and the people. The service and food is excellent and you will get a great deal for your money. It is quite relaxing and accommodating. I would recommend Hickatee highly... More

Fun birding every morning along the road. Enjoyed the walk through the trails on site. Day trip in our rented car to archaeologic sites was great fun. The bikes were just right for an early morning ride before the heat set in. The accommodations were clean and nice. Very cute and well maintained. Dinners on the porch were yummie. Tried... More

I traveled to Punta Gorda last year and I've been meaning to write up this review ever since. I traveled to this area to visit cacao plantations and Kate and Ian were most helpful in assisting me to make the right connections. I only wish we could have stayed longer here, so I could have enjoyed more time just relaxing... More

Punta Gorda isnt really a touristy place, it's a jump off place for many to get to Honduras and Guatemala and so many people will stay a night or two. It definitely has a centre and about 3 parallel roads running through it, and is a Hickatee is a jungle get away, no doubt about it. Down a long (very... More

Not many tourists in town, really get a feel for the way the locals live. The drum demonstration was so much fun, everyone got to try and most eveyone... More

Ian and Kate so obviously enjoy what they do and where they live that it is contagious! The Punta Gorda area was the most beautiful we found in Belize and Ian and Kate's knowledge of the Maya and the flora and fauna was truly outstanding. The room and grounds were lovely and the food excellent. Wednesday night drumming was a... More

We spent a wonderful few days in February with Ian and Kate (the best host and hostess in the world!). So spoiling to have tea brought to the room in the morning and delicious supper in the evening. Suggestions for tours spot on. Gurafina village well worth a visit and making your own chocolate from scratch at Cyrilas great fun.... More
