Long Caye Glover's Reef
- Private Island Beach
Front Cabanas
Featured on the cover of Outside
magazine, our resort at Long Caye was built with the goal of preserving
the integrity of the island in its natural state, and our lodge facilities
have been kept rustic by design. Guests love their thatch-roofed
cabanas, each complete with a porch overlooking the sea.

Star Camping
This is the most luxurious island "base camp" you've ever seen! Our spacious
island (13.5 acres) and rustic facilities ensure your comfort without
compromising the adventure of living on an undeveloped and uncrowded
island. You'll notice our windows don't have screens and we don't use
mosquito netting. This is because we have a rare island in Belize where
bugs really aren't a problem, and when they are present, we spray.
And, best of all, a hammock with your name on
it is waiting under the palms!
Cabanas
Guests stay in two-person
cabanas, perched above the surf. Each cabana has beds with custom-made air
mattresses and a porch with hammocks and lounge chairs. Luggage benches
and a small closet are provided and the cabins are lit with solar-powered
lights. No
air-conditioning is necessary since the ever-present breeze keeps the
temperatures well below what they are on the mainland. There is no
plumbing in the cabanas, for a complete description of bathroom facilities
visit our Island Amenities page.
We have six double-bed cabanas and the rest have single beds (twenty
single beds total).
About our mattresses: Many people ask about just what kind of mattresses we have on the island. We had our single mattresses custom-made by Jack's Plastic of Aztec, NM. He manufactures the best air mattresses that all river guides are now using. His standard 'Paco Pads' are about 1-2" thick. The pads we had him make for us are 6-7" thick. So they are the size of a standard single bed, but don't collect salt water. Because we are RIGHT on the shore and breaking waves break in front of our cabanas all day, every day, we get a lot of salt spray. Our double beds are standard double bed mattresses. Having Jack make custom doubles just wasn't feasible, so these we have to replace more often.
