Well, I want to make this short sweet, and informative: I was apprehensive at first ( going to Hickatee) because there were no (to my memory) bad reviews) of Hickatee so I assumed that it was probaby the friends and family of Kate and Ian writing the wonderful reviews. Yes, I said it, you probably thought of it as well.... more

This was our first trip to Belize and we loved it. Kate and Ian were great hosts and were very helpful in everything from the booking of the plane from Belize City to Punta Gorda to trips we did everyday while there. Kate is an excellent cook! Ian has such dry sense of humor and I enjoyed the interaction between... more

My daughter & I stayed at Hickatee Cottages for 4 nights. The cottages are in a beautiful natural setting, yet within an easy cycle ride or walk of PG. The tropical garden is natural & serene, and flows imperceptibly into the surrounding jungle. The cottages provide all the comforts any sane traveller would need, and, in addition your own verandah,... more

Owners Ian and Kate are friendly and helpful, they bring you coffee on your porch in the morning and breakfast on the veranda -a great way to start the day. Located just outside of Punta Gorda, better to have a car or be... more

We loved it. It was beautiful. Breakfast was the best! more

This review is long overdue. We stayed at Hickatee in May of 07 for 2 nights. Kate and Ian were hands down the best hosts we encountered on a two week trip through Belize and Guatemala. The food is excellent-- home cooked meals prepared by Kate and Ian were incredibly delicious. The cottages, too, were extremely nice. Kate and Ian... more

Immaculately clean and cozy little cottage tucked away not too far from the town of Punta Gorda but far enough away to be sorrounded on all sides by the lush jungle of Southern Belize. Big, wonderfully soft towels and smooth sheets provided a "civilized" touch to our jungle get-away along with two very informative and hospitable owners Ian and Kate... more

It is one of the best places in the world - what else can you really say? It is as close to a little paradise as I can imagine. Secluded, but close. Comfortable, but not ostentatious. This was my second visit, and it was even more wonderful than the first. I lucked out, though, in that I really bonded with... more
