Travel Info

Go Caye Caulker, Belize

Ignacio’s Beach Cabins (cheap and rustic) on Caye Caulker:

Name: Reuben Reyes Email: reyesreubenreyes (at) yahoo (dot) com Email2: ignaciobeachcabins (@) yahoo (dot) com Telephone: 501-226-0175 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 1169 Belize City Belize District

These wooden cabanas have survived storms and hurricanes and thousands of budget travelers.”
