Cayo Espanto

We staying in the aurora villa with another couple and had an amazing time! The Villa was 2 bedroom with 2 bathrooms and had a living area in between which gave a nice element of privacy! The Villa was beautiful, well kept and clean! Housekeeping came several times a day and we never really saw them but we saw the results! Fresh towels, swept and clean, made beds! Our houseman Eddie and his helper Ronnie were just a call away and quick to respond to our every desire! We barely had to ask because they learned our favorites and always showed up at the right time to serve us! We loved the food so much and never got tired of the vast selection of offerings by Chef! He did a fantastic job and it clearly very skilled and creative. We never saw any other guest which was nice and private! The island is immaculate! We enjoyed the excursions arranged by the staff and did some amazing snorkeling at Hol Chan!

Cayo Espanto exceeded all of our high expectations. My wife and I have traveled the world and have stayed at the best hotels and Cayo Espanto honestly beat out what was our first choice for the most unique and exceptional experience. Our experience was made perfect by the entire staff but Rosita, general manager, Eddie or houseman and his assistant Brandon, chef Cynthia Murillo's and Wilson Vasquez, and boat captain German and his crew Geronimo and Max were truly exceptional. My wife, son, daughter in law and myself celebrated my wife's 80th birthday in a way she will never forget. In fact she is still attempting to call Edie on the walkie-talkie. We did two luxury boat trips on the Sarah Kate and Wow, the water was so clear the reef beautiful and the variety of fish endless. The picnic lunch was magical, having the bounty you caught prepared while you are enjoying a cold drink on another private island was incredible. If you want to stay in the perfect beach bungalow, with endless views of the Caribbean, be totally pampered and eat scrumptious food, then look no further than Cayo Espanto.

WOW OVER THE TOP LUXURY!!! How can we ever do another vacation after staying at Cayo Espanto! We stayed 4 nights with our teen girls ages 13 and 15. We were spoiled with the stunning private room. The most incredible meals and service! You can just do nothing and be spoiled or be adventurous! We chose both. We did 2 days of luxury at Sea, one diving day and one day of tubing for the girls. Each adventure was just picture perfect and exciting! The diving is so warm and clear. The snorkeling is just like being in a live aquarium. All the dive masters and boat guides are just the best of the best and so much fun! We hope we can return someday soon! It was incredible in every way!!!!

We just keep coming back. We have stayed in Solana for years now and have had Jesus as our houseman. We are trying a new villa next year and are excited. This place feels like home. It's a bit rustic but you're on a tiny island in Central America, for goodness sakes. The fishing is what brings us back. Our guides are fantastic and we have become good friends on the water. The stories we could tell would amaze you. The birdwatching opportunities will astound you. There are many fun things to do. There is not a deep water beach but several nearby and they are happy to arrange to take you places to swim and picnic. If you seek good food, service, and quiet, then this is the place. The people keep us coming back. The team is exceptional and we love them. If you need something, all you need to do is ask.

From the moment we were taken to our helicopter for our flight over the Blue Hole to the moment we left, I could not have asked for a better stay. The food was outstanding and the portions were more than I could eat! Each day Chef would visit and present multiple options for dinner and we always found something we liked. Our Anniversary dinner was incredible. Larry and Mondo set up our table under the palms and we had a private serenade. We had the perfect balance of attention and solitude. We opted for the Day of Luxury on the Sarah Kate with Geronimo and Max. They fished for lobster and conch that they prepared fresh for lunch. We were able to see the nurse sharks and rays as part of our trip. Our last nigh we asked for dinner and a movie. Larry and Mondo had a screen set up at the end of our dock and we watched Jurassic Park while eating our meal. They even brought us popcorn to snack on. I am already planning our return visit.
