Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Blackbird Caye Resort located on Turneffe Atoll, 25 miles off the coast of Belize City, is not only home to the second largest barrier reef in the world but is home to 3 of the 4 atolls in the entire Western Hemisphere. Turneffe is the only Caribbean Atoll made up of dozens of mangrove islands, which make a perfect environment for a variety of juvenile nurseries for coral reefs, many schools of fish, dolphins, turtles and manatees. The resort itself is nestled within 1,300 acres of island forest and palm trees on a 2-mile long private, sand beach. There are 18 individual private beachfront cabanas with modern accommodations that face warm trade winds with views of the lagoon’s turquoise waters and the atoll’s rim reef. Not only is Blackbird known for world class diving but it also serves as a sanctuary for over 25 species of birds. Renowned for its biodiversity above and below the water Blackbird offers something for everyone: world-class scuba diving , snorkeling, kayaking, beachcombing, and nature walks to observe colorful land birds and seabirds. ... more less

“Awesome Vacation”

Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

My brother and I went down for a few days, mainly to scuba dive. We really wanted to dive the blue hole, but were unsure if we'd be able to do those depths. Paul and the great diving staff dove with us each day in prep for the great blue hole trip. They are an awesome group and made sure... More

“Absolutely incredible!!!”

Reviewed 11 June 2013

My husband and I were at Blackbird Caye Resort on Turneffe Atoll from May 11-18, 2013. We cannot stop talking about what a wonderful experience it was. We have snorkeled in many places but have never had better snorkeling than at Turneffe Caye with Chris as our guide. We saw everything......starfish, sand dollars, barracuda, turtles, octopus, shark, stingray, dolphins, lobster,... More

“Just Incredible!”

Reviewed 9 June 2013

My husband and I recently returned from the trip to Belize, and Blackbird was a complete bliss. Our deluxe cabana was very spacious, clean, and just fun to be in. The food was great, the stuff was very attentive, and the manager, Paul, was awesome. Everyone made us feel very welcome. I am gluten-free, and the staff made every effort... More

“As amazing as everyone says”

Reviewed 6 June 2013

This place is incredible tropical paradise, especially for those looking for an alternative to all-inclusive party resorts and looking to truly experience nature and the sea while still having exceptional amenities and service. I was 7 months pregnant when we visited, and I will say that the reviewer who was 4 months pregnant and had complaints clearly did not read... More

So glad you experienced Blackbird as intended.... with lots to do or to simply relax in a beautiful tropical setting. We wish you the best with your upcoming special delivery too! More

“Spectacular!”

The resort is located in a gorgeous setting! Paul is a wonderful host, both attentive and informative, while maintaining a laid back barefoot vibe. The entire staff called us by name from day one. We felt like treasured family members throughout our stay. We chose a standard, thatched cabana which was perfect for us. Plenty of room for two, a... More

Thanks for your terrific review and for mentioning Camilla! We do our best to remove debris that comes in overnight by the currents, especially on the beach area where our guests are able to walk as you mention. How cool you had a bit of a private experience too! More

“Not as advertised”

Reviewed 3 June 2013

Well, I should start off with the arrival to the island. We purchased a groupon for this trip and it indicated that the transfer to the island could be done either by boat or by an airplane. I was almost 4 months pregnant at the time of travel and when we arrived to the airport we were told that we... More

Since your stay in January, we have new management at the island. We have been honored with glowing reviews since then, and changes are continually being implemented to ensure our guests will experience a wonderful vacation. Each morning our staff removes any debris brought in by the currents overnight to keep our beach beautiful and pristine. We do offer transportation... More

This is one of the coolest places we have ever been (outside of the state of Texas, sorry had to put that in there being a native). What do you want - set on the beach in your own reserved lounge right in front of your cabana, snorkel with their great dive masters or use a kayak to go snorkel... More

We're so happy you experienced such a great time with us! We will pass on your compliments to the staff and hope you can visit again! More

“Excellent Dive Resort”

Reviewed 29 May 2013

This resort is set up as a dive and snorkel resort and does an excellent job. We went to dive. If you are not diving or snorkeling you may be bored as other activities are very limited. The diving is excellent for the Caribbean as the corals and sponges are in excellent shape. Unfortunately like the rest of the Caribbean... More
