Cabana

The Happee Manatee Guest Cabana

Your relaxing getaway awaits you at this centrally located, well-appointed and serene retreat. In one of the few untouched areas of Belize, this location offers you a peaceful escape, where you’ll find seclusion, beautiful views and miles of raw beach.

Our cabana is designed with budget conscious traveler(s) in mind. People who are seeking well-equipped seafront accommodation without breaking the bank.

The remote location offers you a place to decompress and unplug. There is no high speed internet (broadband only) and a view instead of a TV. So come here to relax, curl up with a book and enjoy the peace and quiet.

This one bedroom, one bathroom self-catering unit includes all the essentials needed and while not large by any standard, all 360 square feet (approx. 34 sq m) are designed for your comfort. Tastefully decorated with modern décor and a splash of local color make this an inviting space. Best suited for a couple, but if you have children, consider bunking them in the Glamping cottage!

Local materials were sourced and highlighted as much as possible. From the Mahogany bed built by a local craftsman to the end tables made of fallen White Mangrove that hold lamps with shades made by a weaving artisan from Maya Center. While the sea view draws your eye, the Poison Wood flooring might be the loveliest hardwood floor you’ve seen. Tired of looking down? The vaulted hardwood ceiling and Nargusta rafters are eye catching as well. And a spacious wardrobe made from the lovely Salmwood provides ample storage for your belongings.

Sea breeze and wall fans ensure a restful sleep and our comfortable armchairs provide a great place to read a book or enjoy a drink.

The kitchen showcases striking cabinetry harvested from Belizean Salmwood and provides ample preparation space for cooking. Attention to details is obvious yet nothing is ostentatious. The double sink has an additional faucet for all your potable water needs, and the refrigerator has a dispenser so you can always enjoy a cold glass of water.

The kitchen is stocked with a good assortment of utensils, quality dishes and flatware. Wanting to mix up a Pina Colada with the fresh pineapple you bought at the market? A blender might never be as appreciated as when you take your drinks onto the deck and enjoy the breeze and sound of the Caribbean waves.

Enjoy your meals at the peninsula with comfortable locally made teak chairs.

Having a fully equipped kitchen gives you the opportunity to prepare meals and stretch your hard-earned dollars. Please keep in mind the immediate area is developing and dining out options are limited, however, there are numerous restaurants in surrounding communities.

If cooking isn’t your thing and you’d prefer to have some meals prepared for you, ask us about our in-house chef service.

Grocery shopping before you arrive is recommended and if arriving from Belize city, we highlight our favorite stores here. Basic spices and sugar are provided and if you prefer to have a fully stocked fridge on your arrival, we will gladly arrange this for you.

Large patio doors were installed with the view in mind. Enjoy the benefit while you cook or the first thing you see in the morning.

The spacious deck is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink in the locally made chairs with comfortable cushions.

Directly in front of the cabana is another seating deck with lounging chairs and an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off the salt after a relaxing swim in the Caribbean. Our beach has a sand bottom for as far as you can walk, with no stones or rocks to be found.
