Enjoy your stay

 

We are not a fancy resort. We are a small off-grid lodge: no TV, no AC, no hot water, and no hair dryers. What we do offer is clean, comfortable, and delightfully rustic accommodations where you can experience the real Belize—simple, natural, and refreshingly unplugged. If you’re looking for luxury and pampering, this might not be the place for you. But if you’re ready to slow down, disconnect, and embrace island life… welcome!

We provide front desk manager assistance, housekeeping, and delicious meals.

All guests enjoy delicious Belizean-style meals served in our communal Paradise Diner , an inviting open space to relax, dine, and share stories with fellow travelers right in front of the water.

Since we’re on a remote island with no shops, restaurants, or cooking facilities in the cabanas, a full meal plan will be included with every reservation. The meal plan is compulsory, and it includes three meals per-person/per-night : lunch, dinner, and breakfast.

We’re happy to accommodate most dietary needs, including allergies, vegetarian, vegan, and child-friendly meals. Traveling with a picky eater? Just let us know their likes and dislikes, we’ll make sure there’s something they’ll love.

Wi-fi is available on the property - free of charge!

“We stayed at Tobacco Caye Paradise for 3 nights beginning of March and it was our best stay in Belize. This place is heaven! The cabanas are the best on the island.”
