Excellent, 1 week ago

The kind bed was very comfortable and the rooms stayed cool. Smart tvs were nice to come to after long days on the water when wanting to relax. The mosquitos are horrendous on the resort in the evenings. Bring bug spray during the rainy season. Over all, very clean resort and nice hotel staff!

My stay at Blue Zen Airbnb was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how peaceful and thoughtfully designed the space was. The name truly fits—there’s a calming, almost meditative atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind and feel at home. The property itself was spotless and beautifully maintained. Every detail, from the comfortable furnishings to the tasteful décor, felt intentional and welcoming. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept better than I have in weeks. The natural light during the day and the tranquil ambiance at night made it the perfect balance of relaxation and comfort. What really stood out was how well-equipped everything was. Whether it was the kitchen, bathroom, or common areas, I had everything I needed and more. It felt like the hosts genuinely anticipated guests’ needs, which made the stay seamless and stress-free. Speaking of the hosts—Jay isfantastic. Communication was clear, prompt, and friendly throughout my stay.

Jay was amazing. His unit was immaculate and has all the basic items needed. Washer is very large, as was the dryer. (Bring your own supplies - which was conveyed to us prior.). Location on property was good. It is the first unit on first floor near the main bar and restaurant. Jay was amazing. Helped us get transportation prior to arriving and book excursions . He checked in on Is periodically to ensure all was good. The unit has amenities for four guests, no extras. However, the office was amenable and provided two extra towels for bathing. The location - is on the north island away from many restaurants. (There are a few) but night life is minimal. But… close to Bliss Beach which is a must for all visitors. My biggest issue was it is on the north island and not much around. But Blu Zen does provide a free shuttle to South Island.

Our stay at Jay's place at the Blu Zen Resort in Caye Caulker was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The property was spotless, fully stocked—truly outstanding cleanliness throughout—and it all made for such a comfortable and relaxing experience. The staff on site was exceptional: warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything! The convenient complimentary ferry service to the South Island made exploring easy and added so much value to our stay. We also took the complementary bicycles to Bliss Beach one evening to catch the sunset. And, La Fogata Restaurant on site has excellent fish tacos! A special thank you to Jay, the owner, who personally went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect. His attention to details, honest recommendations, and genuine care for his guests really set this place apart. We recommend Jay’s place without reservations—this was a 5-star experience all around. We can’t wait to come back!

Blu Zen is probably the nicest place on Caye Caulker and Jay's condo probably has the best location in the resort. It's on the end, in the front near the water and dock, convenient to the pool and the Lotus restaurant and bar, but still quiet. The condo is nicely furnished, fully stocked, and comfortable. We enjoyed being on the quiet North Island while venturing into the Village often for snorkel trips and dinner. The Blu Zin ferry takes about 15 minutes and runs back and forth about every hour. You can also catch ferries at the Split. Loved laid back Caye Caulker, it's like Ambergris Caye was 10 years ago. The staff were friendly and the front desk arranged several snorkel trips as well as our transfers to and from the airport. We also enjoyed massages at the spa. A one-mile bike ride to the nicely landscaped Bliss Beach on the west side is worthwhile. (It's free, but they expect you to buy drinks.) It was a nice relaxing week. We look forward to coming back.

Absolutely amazing place ! Jay's place had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen was great to make a few meals at 'home'. The beds were comfortable, towels fresh and fluffy. The best location; beside the pool and bar, beach front property and open on the left side. Close to the pier to jump onto the shuttle boat to the South part of Caye Caulker . Quiet and peaceful. I will be back to stay at Jay's place. I can't say enough great things.

I needed a minute once we returned to be able to provide a thorough review. Prior to arrival, Jays communication was excellent. He coordinated a driver from the airport to our hotel for the night in Belize City and then another ride the following morning to get us to the water taxi that took us to Caye Caulker. Seamless. We arrived and were greeted with a free welcome drink & personal tour of our home for the week. It was BEAUTIFUL! Clean and very comfortable with everything we needed. Right on the beach and right next to a pool and bar/restaurant! It was probably one of our favorite hang outs the whole week. The peacefulness couldn’t be beat!! We rented golf carts when we wanted to cross the split to the other side of the island which had more going on (loud music, restaurants, shops). Overall, loved Jays place. Loved Caye Caulker and can’t wait to go back!! PS. Take a walk or ride down to Bliss Beach!! Only 1 mile from the bnb!

Jays place was absolutely beautiful and in such a stunning location. We spent 5 nights here with our 3 young kids and Jay was super responsive and helpful. When our flight to Belize was delayed and we missed the last ferry, he arranged a private flight for us so we could make it to the island our first night. When he found out that we all had the flu on vacation, he offered us a free cleaning to make sure we were comfortable. It was unfortunate to be sick on vacation, but so wonderful to be in such a peaceful, quiet and gorgeous location to rest and recover. 10/10 recommend this amazing listing and exceptionally kind host. ✨

please come back when you are not sick. Frankly I am in Mexico right now and have gotten the flu. Not quite as much fun….i really enjoyed you all…please come back

The accommodation was amazing, it was very comfortable, a home from home!

If you are coming to Caye Caulker, pick Blu Zen! You will have easy access to all the restaurants, shops, boat trips, dive shops and ice cream in the South Island without any noise. Caye Caulker is our new GO TO destination. We loved the peacefulness of Blu Zen and Jay's condo was exactly as described. It may seem a bit complicated to get there at first, but Jay will walk you through the various options and once you arrive, you may not even want to leave! We traveled with another couple and felt like we each had our own space but the common area was quite comfortable for four. The condo is seriously stocked with everything you may desire. But more than anything, it's just a delightful place to get away from life and enjoy Belize.

Our family of four really enjoyed Jay's place! It was perfect for our vacation to Caye Caulker - we enjoyed all Blu Zen had to offer and found it to be so nice to come back after a day of adventuring. Jay was extremely responsive and helpful - could not ask for a better host. The staff at Blu Zen were friendly and the food on-site was great, we did venture out to other North side restaurants and the front desk was able to help book us transfers and reservations. The condo has everything you need to feel right at home, we really enjoyed morning coffee on the patio and found it very convenient when needing to catch the water taxi - it docked right by us and was always on time. We will definately be back!

I'm afraid we didn't find the place quiet or private at all. The bar is right next to the unit and the noise was really bad on most nights of our stay, they even let the drunk people go on and on past 10. The view of the unit was nice but you also get to see the water taxi pull right up and you can see everyone pile on and out. The staff were immensely friendly and the front desk was amazing in helping us plan excursions. Caye Caulker is a great island which we immensely enjoyed!

Host Response

Very sad and disappointed in your review. In two years of doing this no one has ever complained about any of those things. The bar closes at 930pm as the staff take the last ferry. The Ferry boat does go back and forth from the dock closest to my unit but 95% of the people do not walk by our unit as the office and other condos are to the other side. We had over 40 communications prior and during your stay and not one mention of any of this. I let you change your stay dates, make and cancel transportation to Caye Caulker from Belize City, made sure you had a French press for your coffee in the condo, and to surprise me with a 3 star review is very shocking to me.

Jay’s place was the perfect destination for our girls' getaway, and it exceeded every expectation! The home was spotless and beautifully designed, and the ocean views from the front patio were simply breathtaking. Waking up to that scenery felt like a slice of paradise. Jay was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. Not only did he check in to share his insider tips on the best local restaurants and activities, but he also personally helped us book an amazing snorkeling tour. His thoughtful attention made our trip even more special! BluZen itself is a gem. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals, and the market was a lifesaver for picking up those little extras we didn’t realize we’d need. Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming, and the free ferry to the island's south side made exploring easy and stress-free. We can’t wait to return to this stunning oasis.

Both Blu Zen and Jay's unit were even more impressive in person. Truly stunning, superb crafstmanship, minimalistic, well-kept and clean. We felt right at home. Very easy to get back and forth to the main part of the island with the Blu Zen ferry, but also highly recommend renting bikes in town and taking the Rasta Ferry back and forth with the bikes. We only had two full days on the property, so unfortunately did not get use the pools, restaurants etc. but absolutely appreciated having a comfortable and well-appointed place to lay our heads at night (especially coming from staying off the grid in Guatemala the week before our stay). Exactly what we needed! And the welcome drink was a nice touch at check-in.

Blu Zen is truly special and Jay's place is immaculate. The resort staff were exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Jay was always responsive and helpful with local recommendations. He even facilitated bookings for airport transfers and boat trips. Don't be deterred by the remote location away from Caye Caulker Village. There is a complimentary Blu Zen water taxi that runs many trips throughout the day and it only takes 10-15 minutes.

First off, Jay’s place is beautiful. The staff here at the Blu Zen is also great. They are very accommodating, they work their tails off, and they communicated really well. When we arrived, we were immediately told there was a wedding that night, right in front of Jay’s place. They said they communicated that to Jay, but it never got passed along to us. It was SO LOUD. On top of that, there were wedding guesting sitting in the chairs in front of Jay’s place, some of home repeatedly stood up and looked into the windows at us inside; very creepy. At around 10:30, the wedding party started their fireworks…right behind Jay’s place. It was insane. Being warned about the wedding wouldn’t have made us cancel the reservation, but it would have been nice to know. The unit itself is great. Breathtaking, unobstructed (when drunk wedding guests aren’t blocking it) views of the sea. The WiFi is great, the water was hot, the beds were comfortable.

Jay was very responsive and gave recommendations for excursions, which was nice. The resort was beautiful and the staff was amazing. the Lotus restaurant right outside the unit was our favorite and we made friends with the staff. I absolutely can't wait to go back.

This is a beautiful, peaceful location on the edge of the property. Each morning, it was a true pleasure to sit with coffee on the porch and watch the water and wildlife. It was the perfect size for my husband, daughter, and me. The beds are super comfortable. We appreciated having our own bathrooms and a washer and dryer. The 10 min. water taxi to and from the busier side of Caye Caulker was so convenient! The staff is very kind and helpful! I can't wait to come back!!

This is really more of a resort than small condo development. And it's growing, so it's quite large, but the location is also very secluded and very private. It's also probably the most luxurious property in the entire Caye Caulker area, especially with a beachfront pool. Jay's condo is also the most secluded ground floor unit so there's no one walking by, unlike other ground floor units. It's right next to the pool and bar, which we thought might be noisy, but it's extremely insulated, so you don't hear any of the people or music from inside. We had small kids (9 & 11) so it was nice to be right by the pool where they could swim without us having to leave the condo or our nice porch if we didn't need to. Getting to and from the main island of Caye Caulker requires a bit of patience, since you have to rely on the water taxi schedule, but you can also use the Split Ferry which operates constantly (about a 15 min bike ride away)

Loved our stay at the Blue Zen. The location was peaceful and I enjoyed getting up and drinking my coffee on the front deck and taking in the view. We took the bicycles to the split when we wanted more activity, but loved the quiet when we returned to the lodging at the end of the day. Beautiful place and Jay is super helpful. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked and we purchased fruit, eggs and cokes (for rum drinks) from their local store to supplement our meals.

Beautiful location in a new complex. Restaurants were great and having access to the Blu Zen ferry made it easy to access the shops( including groceries) and action on the south half of Caye Caulker. Unit is outfitted adequately should you want to cook and the small on site market , along with its manager Jacob, are very helpful in securing provisions should you not want to go to Caye Caulker town where the grocery stores are located. The Blu Zen staff were lovely and so friendly and helpful however as Jays unit is not part of their rental pool we had to reach out to Jay on a couple of things and Jay was responsive to our questions and requests.

Nice groundfloor beachfront location and right next to pool,bar and rrstaurant Communication was ex cellent Netflix and prime for tv viewing Resort was topnotch for amenities and service Location on northside of island was just what we wanted for chilling out excellent water shuttle to southside village Highly recommend jays unit and the resort all 4 of our party were impressed Resirt housecleaning just needs to provide more bath tissue for 4 staying 5 days

Belize was a “bucket list vacation destination” and Jay’s place was AMAZING! Our family of four had our most memorable holiday vacation to date and were are extremely grateful to Jay for both his assistance planning excursions and his knowledge and recommendations of places to both visit and dine at were spot on. The Airbnb condo was immaculate, and the location right by the water was breathtaking. It is definitely worth setting a few early morning alarms to witness the sunrise as you enjoy a morning cup of coffee on the front sitting area. Our family can't thank Jay enough for his hospitality and we will certainly keep Caye Caulker and Jay’s place on our list to revisit in the future.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with this place! Absolutely beautiful views, close to everything you need. The host was so helpful with questions we had and fun things to do.

This place was AMAZING! I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional experience during my stay in Belize. Jay’s level of assistance and local knowledge truly exceeded my expectations. Your recommendations and help with excursions made my trip unforgettable, taking a lot of stress off my shoulders. The Airbnb itself was immaculate, and the location right by the water, pool, and restaurant was absolutely breathtaking. This has been a 5-star stay in every sense, and I can't thank you enough for your hospitality.

Jay was very responsive from the moment the reservation was confirmed until we checked out of the unit. He set up taxi service and walked us through the process of getting to resort. He made recommendations of places to dine. He was truly an exceptional host. The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated and welcoming. The view was unbelievable! The staff; front desk, restaurant servers, bartenders, boat captains, massage therapists were all courteous and kind. They made our relaxing vacation, one to remember as they took such great care of us. We will definitely stay with Jay again on our next visit to Belize and if you are reading this, you should book with Jay too.

Jay was great to work through from the day we booked. Checked in to see if we needed anything or had questions prior to our trip and answered questions right away when we asked. The condo unit is clean, spacious and has all the amenities you could need for a week long stay. The staff at the resort were friendly, helpful, and always smiling. The condo unit is right at the front by the pool where we enjoyed the sunrise and sunset, live music at the bar/pool deck and easy to get to boat shuttle. Loved that this resort is on the north side and much quieter than the south side of Caye Caulker and way quieter than San Pedro. Was easy to take boat to south side for dinner or other activities. Lots of places to eat at. Blu Zen has fantastic pizza place (La Fogata) and the Lotus has amazing dinner and breakfast that we ate at multiple times!! There are kayaks available and SUP (to rent) but it was breezy most of the time we were there so we didn’t adventure into the ocean out front.

Beautiful location. Blu Zen is amazing and Jay is a great host. He is responsive and checks on you to make sure things are going well.

This place is everything that’s posted and more!! The only way to get around is by water taxi abd it’s complimentary from Blue Zen to Caye Caulker. The lotus restaurant has the most delicious food and friendly staff! The staff at Blue Zen are over accommodating! Book the boat tour with Carlos through Jay even if you don’t snorkel you’ll enjoy the boat and the peace-fullness of the day at Sea! If you want to relax and be at zen, this is your message to book here and go!! I’ll be back! 💙💫

THE BLU ZEN UNIT: Beautiful, spotless unit, beautiful pools. Our unit had every single thing you could need. Fully stocked kitchen, washer, dryer, refrigerator, AC in the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms all in perfect working condition. The patio is perfect with a perfect view. Jay the hist, is great and helpful. THE RESTAURANT: Excellent! Breakfast, lunch and dinner all great. THE MERCADO: was small and I feel could be expanded to offer more fresh foods, snacks, etc. THE PIZZERIA: perfectly good. A few things to note: To get to the Caye Caulker village, u have a few options:. The Blu Zen ferry. A short, 7ish min ride right from the Blu Zen dock. You can also ride bikes (free at the Blu Zen) walk (15 min but HOT during the day) or take a golf cart to the Split barge. You can load your bikes and cart onto the small barge for a 2 min ride across the split to the village. we took a cart to and from the village for groceries. I will most definitley return!

Location, Location, Location The Blue Zen resort is on North Caye Caulker. This is absolutely where you want to stay. Quiet, clean, semi-private yet just minutes from the split. Even better, this condo is 100 feet from the ferry, 25 feet from the pool, and 35 feet from the bar. This is the best building, in the best resort, on the best island. The inside of the condo new and upscale. You have a full kitchen, 2x full baths, washer and dryer, towels. AC in every room. Wi-Fi can be spotty. Go to the Mercado (local store) if you need Wi-Fi. It is well stocked (good cinnamon rolls, too). The only thing missing were pool-safe cups. Tips: 1. Rent a golf cart at the Blue Zen main office and explore swimming locations on the west side of the island. 2. If you book excursions, ask them to pick you up at blue zen. Most will. You can sit on your front porch until they dock. It’s awesome! 3. Go to Ice and Bean for coffee and donuts made to order. Chef Juan’s for Jerk Snapper.

This was the perfect place for our ladies/family getaway. There are many great things to say about this place, but here are a few highlights: -The patio with comfortable lounge chairs were great for enjoying the view, sipping our am coffee and afternoon cocktails -the bathrooms made you feel like you were in a spa and were squeaky clean -the location of the unit was great! No stairs, which was helpful for my grandma, easy walk to the pool, restaurant and dock -the Blu Zen staff are AMAZING. They were so friendly and helpful.

Jay's place at Blue Zen was fantastic! I think it is the best spot on the resort. It's in front of the water, on the edge of the property so you feel the island is yours, yet you're right next to one of the restaurant and one of the pools. The apartment was perfectly clean and well furnished. The staff at the resort were extremely kind and accommodating, and Jay is the perfect host! Thank you for having us. we hope we can be back soon to enjoy this little piece of heaven!

We stayed at Jay's condo for 2 weeks. Jay met us at the ferry arriving to Caye Caulker. He was checking in with us to make sure everything was ok and had an itinerary of things to do. He was always very helpful. The location is gorgeous and his condo unit is on ground floor very private, no neighbors with a breathtaking 180 degree view of the ocean. It is about 50 feet to the ocean. The pool is just a few steps away as well as the walk in beach. The bar is also just a few steps. There are 3 swimming pools. The resort is small and each building has 3 units. I think in total there are about 10 buildings. There is a small shop for essential groceries and 2 restaurants. The resort is 5 stars. The people at the resort are very friendly and helpful. Jay is a great person, we are so happy to have met him. Created great memories for us. Thanks for the great stay we are very thanking for everything and hope to come back.

Jay was great he picked us up right at the dock, we had a few minutes to spare so he offered us a ride to the local grocery store so we can stock up on what we need. There’s a shuttle that takes you to the resort where the staff will be waiting for you with open arms everyone is very attentive and Jay was always offering us advice as far as the main attractions on the island. Overall the stay was amazing and if I could give 10/5 stars I would. See you guys again soon!
