The solar-powered Pelican's eight comfortable wooden cottages at the south of the island are well spaced among the palms, giving a feeling of seclusion. Heron's Hideaway is the pick of the bunch, with a big porch and two hammocks looking out to the reef.
The main building (once an island retreat for Belize's Sisters of Mercy) houses the dining room and five guest rooms opening on to long verandas. If you want to dive from here, book at least a week ahead. Kayaks are available free of charge.
