When Slickrock first moved
out to Glover's Reef Atoll in 1992 our goal
was to develop a
facility that feels non-developed. Obviously if you build a building,
that’s some level of development. But throughout the
Caribbean there are very few facilities that are this rustic by
design. On Long Caye, development means a dozen cabanas, a well-stocked kitchen, solar-powered water pumps, a composting toilet, three
dozen sea kayaks, a bunch of sailboards and surf kayaks, and a dive shop
(the only thing not owned by Slickrock). There is no maid service; there
are no air conditioners or flush toilets. But there is a fridge
permanently loaded with Fantas and Belikin beer. It all represents the
soft side of adventure travel - right down to the excellent Garifuna
chefs who cook your meal and then sit down at the table with you to
dine.
Adventure Vacation on
a Private Island: The only way to stay
on our island is to purchase a Belize Adventure
Package. We do not sell individual days on the island, nor do we
sell accommodations only. All packages include lodging and meals before
and after the island stay, transport to and from the island, lodging,
meals, beer and soda on the island, complete use of our sports gear, and
instruction and daily guided activities.
There is no substitute for having your own island. Long Caye at Glover's Reef, Belize rivals Half Moon Caye in beauty and is much less visited. When traveling all the way to Caribbean islands....make the extra effort to visit the most beautiful and remote island in the country. Other Belize resorts cannot compete with our location. We have the ultimate spot for Belize Adventure Travel AND PADI dive courses. Our FAQ page answers specific questions about our Belize packages based on our Caribbean island.

Perched on the brink of the continental shelf, our island base of Long Caye lies on the slender coral ring of Glover's Reef, an atoll 35 miles offshore from Dangriga, in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. We’ve made sure our entire Water Sports Center blends into the undeveloped, natural atmosphere of this tropical island, unspoiled by the modern world. Shaded by a forest of palms and surrounded by endless coral reefs, Long Caye is truly a tropical paradise.
"This was a trip to fantasy island. I found the trip on-line and was
thrilled when we arrived on the island to find it even better than we
expected. The entire family voted this the best vacation ever and that
means a great deal since we have taken some awesome trips."

Don't
go to a crowded island! By comparison, in
Ambergris Caye (left), where about 90% of the tourists in Belize visit,
there are over 65 hotels with a capacity of 2000+ guests and 4000+
year-round residents. Compare that to our island: one facility, 30 guests
maximum and about 6 staff. You can get away from it all with us, few other
resorts can boast of such a remote and exclusive location.
