I went with my husband for 7 days, and words do not do Shaka enough justice. It’s a secluded island paradise with phenomenal service, excellent food, and the bluest water you’ll ever see. Shaka’s beaches & surrounding water look unreal at times, like they should be Microsoft backgrounds. It’s just far enough out into the ocean that you’ll see some super cool marine & wildlife. The rooms are perfect, just pick one, they’re literally all on a beach. I can’t shout out to the staff enough. Hector’s bar is lit! The drinks are fantastic, whether you choose his Belizean pour or a nice rum punch, he’ll even deliver it to you on the beach. If he’s not at the bar, don’t worry, he’s just getting more ice. Rodwell & Vee are fantastic butlers who will bring your meal to your room, but don’t skip on dining with them in the dining room, the views are spectacular! Chef Breezy’s creations in the kitchen will blow your mind. He doesn’t do a rotation of meals, he puts out two options for each meal a couple hours before serving. Everything was so fresh and delicious, we wondered how we were hungry again for each meal. I’m still adjusting back to regular American food. Our boat captain, Edwin, picked us up at the airport & boated us right over to paradise. He also took us and some new friends on a day trip to Caye Caulker, where we drank Lazy Lizards, swam with sharks, pet stingrays, and fed tarpons. Highly recommend as this was one of the coolest excursions of our lives. If you’re still questioning Shaka, just don’t. Book it because you (and I) will be dreaming about this trip for decades. I will never stop singing Hector’s fave (now mine too) Joanna, Jo, Jo. Thank you to all of y’all at Shaka for making this the most exceptional vacation! We will absolutely be back, you better Belize it!
