**Off the Wall welcomes families with kids of all ages, but we recommend saving this special island experience for kids old enough to swim and snorkel. Please note that Off the Wall has rustic cabanas, shared toilets and outdoor rain showers for guests — a true off-the-grid experience.
Getting to Off the Wall requires a journey – a 20-minute flight from the Belize International Airport (Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport), followed by a 90-minute boat ride to the private island getaway. But the family running the resort makes it as easy as possible for you.
All stays at Off the Wall are a Saturday-to-Saturday seven-day experience. Book your 20-minute regional flight to Dangriga Airport and the hotel takes it from there. You will be greeted at the airport, transferred to the marina, and ferried off to paradise. They’ll take you back the following Saturday for the return leg.
Don’t waste your time searching for rates and availability. We can handle it (and love it!), at no additional cost to you.
Where do we begin?! Our stay on Glovers Reef was incredible. If you love eco-lodges, this is for you, with rainwater showers and compost loos which don’t make you feel like you’re compromising on luxury at all. We stayed in an unbelievable sea front cabana, the sea breeze our AC. We rose with the dawn and slept in the dark. . . .I think that this island would be wonderful for people with small children because the seas and warm and shallow and there are so many fish!! Any small kids will be completely entranced and allowed to roam completely wild with no worries at all which is a serious rarity! Just for the life – the fish! – under the dock, I would recommend Off the Wall wholeheartedly: it may be the central sliver of this beautiful island, but it is by far the most beautiful, the most fun to stay with. Not only are Jim and Kendra a lovely couple, they are deeply concerned with everyone’s holiday being the absolute BEST it can be. Kendra has somehow managed to make a scant sandbar feel lush – being there felt like the world began and ended with salt resistant plants, iguanas, hermit crabs and my dive kit.Please stay there now!!!

The most amazing family vacation ever We are a family of 5, two adults and three children. We stayed last year in the family cabin and had the most amazing vacation that we are going back this year. Our kids were 16, 14 and 11 last year. There is no wifi or TV or anything like that and that is why the place is so special. You get to talk and share stories, play cards, laugh and spend time together. No one is checking their phones or posting or watching TV. The place is pure paradise. We are an active family and we love water sports. My husband and two younger sons got certified while we were there. My eldest and I got certified in Thailand the year before. The diving and snorkelling are indescribable. You can swim with rays and sharks right off the dock. The diving is crystal clear and you see so many vibrant things – I can’t even describe it. This is only the place for you is you crave and enjoy quiet company, laughter, fishing and swimming without the technology that robs us of face time most of the time. Kendra and Jim are lovely fun people, Tyrone is a fabulous divemaster, Junior drives the boat. The food was good. The nights of sleep were deep and restful. I tell people about this and the first thing they say is I can’t live without wifi or a TV. That’s sad. This place is real and amazing and seeing stars at night without ambient light is something everyone should get to see – not just on their TV or screen. It is the most amazing place we have ever been to. I hope it stays like this for a long time.
