“Very comfortable and spacious accommodation, lovely host.”

We loved our stay here. The location is quiet being a distance into town by bicycle. Lovely welcoming host with good local knowledge

“Beautiful, quiet location. Bikes were fabulous to get intotown. Abel was very responsive, helpful. Would highly recommen”

Quiet, swimming pool, authentic, comfortable, spacious and very helpful friendly host

“very friendly owner and a more remote location which I favored - but the barking dogs are a nuisance”

Very friendly owner, nice appartment overlooking the ocean and a more remote location. Free bike available was also very great - and I really appreciated the owner taking me to the ferry on the last day for free.

“Abel was fantastic. He connects you with everything you want to do. 100% recommended.”

Peaceful spot.

“A lovely quiet stay in a beautiful location”

Our apartment was right by the sea in a very quiet and beautiful location. Although some way from the action in Caye Caulker, Abel provided us with bikes and head torches - and we really enjoyed the freedom of cycling around and exploring. Abel was very helpful and thoughtful- a really excellent host.

Beautiful quiet location. Abel was very helpful and accommodating. It was great to have use of the bicycles so we could explore the island. We would definitely stay here again.

“Perfect.”

Very kind owner who gave us wonderful advice, beautiful dogs, bikes to use, and our lovely, sunrise-facing, room had WiFi, aircon, and was just perfect. If we have the chance to return we would definitely stay here again.

“Go slow at Novelo”

Great waterfront views and access to private jetty for great fishing and swimming. Swam also in the pool. Able our host was super responsive and accommodating. Enjoyed pats with dog and puppies.

“Fantastic and quite in Caye Caulker”

Abel has created a true gem here, far from the hustle and bustle of Caye Caulker! Right on the ocean with easy access for a morning swim. He picked us up from the pier and, of course, brought us back, so we found our accommodation without any worries! He also gave us helpful tips on where to relax or eat. Everything turned out to be perfect! Thank you so much for the wonderful time!

“Kind and welcoming host, but the stay didn’t suit us due to location and facilities.”

Firstly, I want to say that Abel is an exceptional host — truly one of the kindest we’ve had. He went out of his way to help us, including giving us lifts into town and to the ferry, letting us do laundry, and always being available for questions. He and his three dogs (Sparky, Nova and Neptune) really do make the place feel welcoming, and none of the below is a reflection on him as a fantastic host. Unfortunately the accommodation wasn’t the right fit for us.

The place is cozy, has a great view and the owner is very friendly and helpful. He provided us with bikes for free for the whole stay, took us to the ferry on our last day very early in the morning and always reacted very quickly when we had questions.

“Super peaceful spot, Abel was a pleasure to deal with and made sure we got in for our ferry when leaving. Gave great rec”

Scenery was amazing

“Exceptionally nice”

Abel was the best host! He was always trying to give us the best experience possible, always coming up with a solution, if there was a problem. The location was excellent, a bit remote, but with the free bikes that were provided, that was no issue. There are also three cute dogs and a very friendly cat.

“Okay value for money place”

Nice bike service included to explore the island, front beach room is the one to choose

“Very quiet and nice place”

The apartment is located in a very quiet area in the southern part of the island. The host is very kind - he let us bicycles for free for the whole duration of our stay to move around the island and he even let us borrow kayaks! He also offered to change our bed linens and towels after a couple of days because we were staying there longer, which was very nice of him.

“Super relaxing stay at a beautiful property”

We really loved our short stay at The Novelo and wish we had been able to spend more time here! The house is beautiful, the pool is awesome and we loved the calm location with sea views. With the bikes it was very nice and easy to get into town and a beautiful little adventure in the evening. The owner is a very welcoming and helpful host! I would always choose this place over the city centre, it’s such a gem and delivered such awesome Caye Caulker vibes!

“Relaxing experience in Caye Caulker”

Great addition to The Novelo. This brand new studio where we just stayed on the first floor is outstanding. In the early morning you see the sun rising over the Belize Barrier Reef, there is no better way to start the day. Even from the sofa inside, you have the greatest view of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea in front of you. It is a big unit with all the comfort and privacy, offering ample spaces, lots of sunlight, a big bathroom, big sofa, a kitchen area, and of course, the ample open veranda with two chairs and a big table overlooking the sea. The studio has windows all around so the breeze keeps it cool and refreshing; it also has two fans at the sides of the bed but we didn't really need them. The Novelo is a 10 min short bicycles ride away from the village, with a swimming pool and free kayaks and bicycles. We can't wait to return a next time and be welcomed by Abel, who is a great host taking real care of his clients and all their needs.

A great place with a beautiful deck with sea views. I loved lying in the hammock reading my book and listening to the waves laping the shore. The host was a lovely man, very friendly and helpful. We were able to use his bikes to explore the island which we really enjoyed. Its a little to the south of town, so is quieter and more laid back.

“Great calm accommodation within short biking distance from centre”

This accommodation is great if you like to be a bit more quiet area but restaurants/cafes etc. were very easily accessible by complimentary bikes. Apartment is very spacious. Great views! Nice pool/hangout area. The owner is super friendly and even gave us a ride into town at check out.

“A comfortable stay on this very laid back island”

A very spacious apartment at the quieter end of the island. The owner, Abel, was very friendly and helpful, made us feelat home and even gave us a lift back for our early ferry departure. Although a bit of a trek into the centre - about a 20 minute walk, there were bikes and head torches available to use. There was a small pool and a pier in front of the property that you could sit on and watch the sunset.
