*** Camping over Caribbean Sea at the Dock House ***

This family is the sweetest family on the entire island. Chat n Chill has its name for a reason. Be sure to pet the family doggo!! Shes a cutie. Camping over the water was such a unique experience which takes an adjustment period. The only concern is the road getting there..... its a dirt road thats extremely bumpy for a solid 50 minutes. If you want the liveliness of the Town of San Pedro then this is not the place for you. If you want tranquillity, peace and quiet, and to just be able to chill then stay here!! Grab a cocktail, enjoy some nachos and drink out of a coconut while relaxing on the dock :) I'll def be back, especially now that I know more of what to expect from the island itself.

The hosts were amazing! Daniel was great and very attentive! Amenities were great and service was excellent! We loved every minute of it!

This was our 3rd time staying in the Dock House at the Chat and Chill. What can I say? It’s been so lovely we have come 3 times, 3 years in a row. We love the low key, no frills, all fun that this place is. Daniel and his family keep this place so well kept and wonderful. They are incredible hosts who are so attentive and kind. Isis’ cooking is simple and wonderful: she home makes her tortillas! Highly recommend her breakfasts too. Daniel has some great tips for places to eat, see, and discover! We had the best private snorkel trip experience with one of Henry’s friends he recommended who took us to Hol Chan and several other dive spots! If you want a cool and quiet experience, with nice people and good vibes this place is for you. It is close-ish to camping with shared bathroom on the beach (very clean!), and a refreshing outdoor shower, so do note the listing description. If you want a bumpin’ party spring break vibe this is NOT the place for you. Stay closer to town! Safe to say we love this place and hope to return for a 4th visit!Up North Tips: In D Wild is a close restaurant serving great local food specials cooked by locals (ask for the Creole Shrimp), we loved going here for food and drinks. Daniel is friends with the owner! Up North is a new spot to eat, drink, and play games like golf, axe throwing etc.Take a trek to Tranquility Bay resort, way up north! You won’t regret the views and bring snorkel gear! Road is rough but worth it!

Waking up to the most beautiful sunrise out your bed window was amazing. The hosts made you feel like part of the family and did more than was asked. If you are looking for nature and being taken care of, this is the place for you.

My husband and I felt so relaxed staying in this charming beach house at the end of the dock, right on the water. The sunrise and sunsets were amazing! We fished from the dock and were close to areas for snorkeling. Daniel made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We hope to return!

This is our favorite spot on the entire island of Ambergris Caye. Henry and Daniel are the most amazing hosts ever. It truly is paradise. We will be back.

I stay at properties with many remote owners/hosts around 3-4 months of the year in the Caribbean and Latin America. I understand that local labor is relied upon to manage things and how sargasso/sargassum is a massive issue beyond a host’s control. But communication is totally within the host’s realm. 1. There’s major construction going on in the area. Unless you naturally get up at 4:30-5am every day this is not going to be a relaxing stay with trucks continuously hauling stuff at least from 5am-10am (I wasn’t there later than that) during the day. Host neglected to give me any heads-up this was happening. 2. The beach/water was unusable due to sargasso/sargassum sea weed decomposing on the sand and in the water. The water was literally as dark as a mangrove swamp. There was zero point reserving this location 45 mins north of San Pedro with a beach when there were a plethora of closer/cheaper listings available sans beach. But like the noise, of course the host neglected to give me any indication I couldn’t use a major feature of his property. 3. The cleaning fee for two nights was very high, almost the same cost as a nights’ stay but the beach toilet trash bin was full when I got there on Monday 4pm and still full Wednesday when I left at 9:30am. *shrug* 4. Zero host communication from check-in to check-out, even when I messaged the fridge outlet was broken and water leaked all over the wood and rug. Host clearly not interested in anything than being paid.

This place is amazing! We stayed in the cabin at the end of the dock. The place was very clean and in the most beautiful quiet setting. For most of our trip, we were the only couple here. We found the more off the beaten (bumpy!) path location to be exactly what we wanted for some rest and relaxation, yet perfectly located for the guided fishing and snorkel tours we booked. We fished off the dock with great success as well. The real hi light of this place is Daniel, Isis, and Henry who manage the property, cook at the Chat and Chill, and are wonderful advisors for activities or tips regarding your stay. Daniel is wonderful and made great recommendations for a snorkel guide. Isis is an incredible cook and made us delicious and simple meals when we asked. We did get a Conch while snorkeling and Isis made us ceviche with our score, yum! The care the staff take in maintaining this place is obvious and it is very well maintained. Do note that the owners/host are off site. The communication was slow when there were questions or inquiries. But the on-site staff really is who will help you if you have any needs anyway. It wasn’t a problem for us. We will be back next year. This place is a COMPLETE GEM.

There aren’t even words for this spectacular place! My husband and I stayed here for a week and it did not disappoint! We were the only guests at the time. Everything about the dock house was incredible! The fresh breeze, the waves, the sunrises and the fish were all amazing! The property felt private and our hosts were very accommodating! The food at the Chat n Chill was delicious and they helped us organize some snorkelling tours with Coral Divers, they even got my husband some coconuts and had a huge water dispenser in the cabin for us. The drive to town was an adventure we enjoyed as was the road North to Tranquility bay! We loved it here and would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you, for sharing this slice of paradise with us!

We stayed 7 days at this small cottage on the dock and we absolutely LOVED our journey. I have to say that Daniel (one of the worker) is the highlight of our stay and the whole place wouldn't be the same without him He is always greeting us no matter what time of the day, making sure we have everything we need, smiling all the time, and always available for us. He made us feel like very special Also, thank you to the owner for letting us use the pool since the beach was full of seaweeds Thank you to Isis who's cooking is delicious I highly recommand this little paradise on earth We went there for a honeymoon and would do it again !
