Great Spot for Couple and 2 Teenagers

This is our second time in Caye Caulker and we love biking all over the island and this was the perfect spot to give us some privacy, great pool, and wonderful setup for a family of 4. The twin bed loft was great for the two teenage boys and kitchen had everything we needed (but we ate out every meal as the restaurants on island are the best). We would definitely stay here again - the price, location, accommodations were exactly what we needed and great price!

Perfect island stay

Me and three teenagers stayed here for 5 days. It was perfect! The air conditioner worked well, location was great and Veronica and Beyoncé at the front desk were awesome! Everyone on staff was super nice and accommodating. The property itself was well stocked. The only thing missing was another mirror. But other than that, everything was great. We rented a golf cart so driving to restaurants and shops was easy. Veronica took care of cart rental, fishing/snorkeling tour and sunset tour. Beyoncé made sure we were all good to go for departure. I would definitely recommend these properties and will return! Thank you! Go slow! Xoxoxo

Hidden Gem

Tim & Debbie were great. The property is fun with a shared pool right outside the cabana. It is a short walk to their oceanfront property. The way the island is set up it's fine for a short walk to the beach instead of the beachfront I didn't feel like we missed out at all. The staff is friendly and helpful. Jiani and Beyonce are awesome concierges, definetly recommend Gerald & Gerald Tours for the snorkeling. I can not really think of anything they could do better.

Great place to stay in Caye Caulker

This is a no frills place, but it worked just fine for our needs. The ladder up to the loft with the 2 twin beds is steep! Just a heads up for those who might have issues with heights or climbing down in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. We would have liked another soft chair or small couch to relax on in the main living room in the evenings as the futon really only comfortably seats 2. We rented bikes (highly recommend) as this place is a little bit of a ways from downtown to walk on a hot day. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. The island is wonderful. Definitely would recommend a vacation here!

Relaxation Station

We had a great time at the Hidden Gem. Not having been to Belize in the past, safety and standards were a concern. All that went out the window when we landed in CC. A Velento staff member met us at the airport to show us to our rental. The rental was very homey and impeccably clean. It had all the essentials. We truly enjoyed our stay here. The pool was very refreshing. We dearly loved our time at the Hidden Gem. The staff at Velento Rentals were over the top amazing, always ready to help in anyway they could. Book the Hidden Gem, you won't be sorry. Oh! Rent the bikes too. They made our trip much more enjoyable.

Perfect place

The Hidden Gem was perfect for our party of 4. Had all the necessities for us to be able to fix breakfast and cook a few dinners of the fish we caught. If you fly in, very convienent for airport. The services were prompt, never had to request water, if we put out empty container, it was immediately replaced. The office help was great in getting me a golf cart. We had a few glitches with a/c unit and hot water heater, but as soon as it was mentioned, the issues were taken care of immediately. Will definitely stay again and we would highly recommend

A wonderful time on Caye Caulker

We would highly recommend staying at this property and any of the Valento Rental properties. We were upgraded to a different house on the property due to a hot water tank issue so we can not speak directly about the Hidden Gem house but can say that the management group and staff who work on the property are absolutely amazing! From coordinating golf cart taxi's to the property (which is highly recommended on first day when arriving with luggage), to the easy rental of bicycles and free use of paddle boards and kayaks. The property and pool areas are extremely clean and the dock out to the water is lovely. We recommend renting bikes for at least a day as it makes it very quick and easy to get around the whole island and explore. It is about a 20 minute walk to the split but there are grocery stores and restaurants closer to the house. We highly recommend Elba's little kitchen a few blocks from the house, Reina's and eating fry jacks at Errolyn's.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was as pictured and described. Clean. No issues. Staff there is very helpful with any needs or questions you have. Just ask, and they will book it for you! There are several other Velento properties there, and all are well maintained. Can't go wrong with any of them. They were VERY helpful well before the trip as well to make our arrival easy. Taxi was waiting for us, and golf cart was waiting at the house. ZERO complaints, and ready to go back! I would suggest a golf cart rental from this location. It's walkable and bikeable, but the Golf Cart was great!

Perfect Place to stay

When we first arrived to the Hidden Gem, we were skeptical because it was HOT when we walked in. We were assured that it would cool down, which it did, but it took a while. The ladder to the loft is pretty steep, so maybe take that into account. It wasn't an issue for us. The place was clean, and everything was provided for us. This was such a plus and doesn't happen everywhere on the islands! It's a bit far away from the main road, so I would definitely recommend some sort of transportation, other than walking. The pool was lovely, and the staff was very friendly.

Perfect spot for a family

We were pleased with the seamless transition from arrival on the water taxi to our residence via taxi arranged by property management. We were greeted by Victoria who was very friendly and gave us instructions for using the property. We also rented bikes from the property, which proved to be a good call for getting around the island. We easily arranged for a snorkeling tour through the property management. The tour also provided us a taxi service in the morning to the departure location. The property was clean upon our arrival and the exterior patios and decks were swept daily by staff. We only had one small toilet plumbing clog that was readily remedy by the staff. We took advantage of the close proximity to the airport for our departure off the island. We enjoyed our accommodations immensely would recommend them to anyone looking for a quiet, private location to enjoy Caye Caulker.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: les plus: Logement agréable, bien équipé, la piscine, la climatisation, le calme (sauf aéroport)La disponibilité et le service des la société. les personnes étaient très agréables et efficaces.les moins: trop proche de l'aéroport, les avions commencent à 7h30 le matin. Assez loin de tout, nécessité de marcher 30 min ou de louer des vélos. Compte tenu de la localisation de la maison, les vélos devraient être mis à disposition gratuitement.Attention à l'escalier qui mène à la mezzanine, il est très raide (dangereux pour les petits enfants). Pas de vraie seconde chambre. Pas d'extérieur pour manger.
