Great value!
This hotel was a lovely bargain right across the street from the beach. Comfortable room, nice amenities and Ernie at the front desk was a gem and a great communicator before I even arrived. Nice restaurants within walking distance as well as the ferry terminal. The only reason I gave it a lower grade on the eco-conscious area was that I really didn’t need my towels washed daily but there was no sign to hang on the door.

We had a great stay at Rainbow hotel! We had an upgrade the first night which was awesome. The only small issue was that our bathroom had a bad drain smell in there. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. Otherwise everything was great!

This was a really great place to stay. Not far from the water taxi (we could easily walk there with our rolling luggage) and in the middle of everything. Our hosts were so friendly and recommended wonderful restaurants and snorkeling. The hotel has its own beach area which is nice with hammocks as well. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for the week and had a great visit to Cay Caulker. The hotel is owned by a great family. The rooms were clean and A/C was great. Right near their family restaurant and dive/snorkeling shop. Small grocery store right next door and everything else was within walking distance. I can't say enough good things about our stay with them.

Rainbow is a budget friendly option close to all the action. It is older but a very nice family owned business. Great restaurant, food was excellent. This hotel does not have any other amenities. Nice ocean view.

We have stayed here multiple times. We were especially pleased this time because Ernie went above and beyond when my husband left his keys for our rental car in the safe in the room. Really appreciate the extra effort to get on the water, taxi and back to us.
