Our Story
From Fishing Nets to Hospitality
Like many families on the island, the Marins once depended on fishing to make a living. But as the fishing industry declined, they saw an opportunity to shape the future of local tourism. Inspired by a child’s toy with a rainbow on it, the family opened Rainbow Hotel nearly two decades ago.
At the heart of this transformation was Ernesto Marin, who grew up watching his parents run the business. Today, Ernesto continues the family tradition with pride, combining professional guest services with the warm, personal touch that comes from growing up in the industry. The hotel remains a symbol of resilience, community, and colorful island spirit.
Just steps away, the Marin family also runs a popular waterfront restaurant, where guests can enjoy delicious local seafood while taking in the coastal breeze.
Comfortable Seaside Rooms Await
The hotel's accommodations include 8 spacious Deluxe Suites and 1 Junior Suite — each with panoramic sea views, air conditioning, a private bath, and TV. The suites are extremely clean, well-furnished, and designed for maximum comfort.
For those seeking more space or extended stays, the hotel also features two fully furnished two-bedroom apartments.
Caye Caulker
Where Time Slows Down
Centrally located on Front Street, Rainbow Hotel sits directly across from a beachfront park and offers uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea. Just a short five-minute walk from the famous Split and steps from local shops and restaurants, the hotel’s location is both convenient and scenic.
Caye Caulker itself is a gem of Belize — a small island 21 miles northeast of Belize City and only 15 minutes from San Pedro. With a population of around 1,200, the island is beloved for its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, mouthwatering seafood, and friendly, laid-back atmosphere. Visitors come to Caye Caulker to relax, explore, and experience the authentic charm of island life — and Rainbow Hotel is proud to be a part of that experience.
