San Pedro Town hotellia

Plussat: Property is absolutely beautiful. The staff were very helpful and attentive. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Amazing resort and amazing staff! We are definitely coming back!

Plussat: The staff was wonderful. Friendly, attentive, and worked hard to ensure guests needs are taken care of. The location is absolutely beautiful. We couldn't stop staring at the lush grounds and ocean. It truly is paradise.

Miinukset: That we had to leave

Plussat: The staff at Victoria House was the real star. They were extremely friendly and appeared to really want the traveler to have a great experience. Food was good, and the service was great.

Miinukset: The seaweed on the beach is a bit of an issue. The staff worked everyday to remove it but the fact that you can’t walk directly into the beach is a it of an issue. In conversations with other travelers this is an issue all along San Pedro.

Plussat: Christina!!!

Plussat: Great air conditioning

Miinukset: The restroom door needs to be a solid door . Room is too small for privacy and doors that are just slits give no persona privacy

Plussat: The grounds and pools were amazing. The bar and restaurant on site are some of the best in the area, and they have everything you need from bikes to snorkel rentals. The place is just beautiful.

Miinukset: Not much to not like. Maybe one else or two instances of staff being slow or nonchelant, but that's just the island I think.

Plussat: Food was the bomb! Warm welcome. Service and attentiveness and friendliness of staff was unmatched! They served you anywhere and everywhere on the property - including on the dock. Always promptly attending with a smile. Total relaxation. Hotel picks you up from the airport, drops u off, arranges all trips, scuba pickup right off the private doc. Superb!!!! Beds and pillow super comfy, friendly staff, abundance of towels, two pools including an infinity pool!

Miinukset: The overcharging overpricing on food and drinks was tacky. They charge $5 US to "split" a meal and put it on another plate. Their "complimentary" breakfast is worst than what you would find at a Motel 6. One of their employees taunted a beautiful iguana, stepped on its tail on purpose and ripped it off -- horrifying the guests who saw. Needless to say once we all complained this employee was not seen again on the property.

Plussat: The staff was amazing! They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable! Every single employee would stop to talk to us about our excursions and ask how our stay had been. The grounds/facilities were also immaculate. The food at both restaurants was some of the best food we had eaten all week.

Miinukset: Nothing...everything about Victoria house exceeded our expectations.

Plussat: Great staff and the perfect location for the area. Close to what you would want to do an see.

Miinukset: The air port is closer than we would have liked, certain times of the day it was noisy with all the flights just our the back door.

Plussat: The suite was very big - full apartment size space

Miinukset: Directly in the middle of town - which was both a positive and a negative at different times during our stay

Plussat: The property is very clean, very accommodating, and a great location!

Plussat: Very cleaned

Miinukset: Not much beach

Plussat: The location was excellent. Close to all activity in the city. Would definitely recommend it.

Plussat: It was perfect! Felt like home, kept up immaculately, wonderful location and the staff was amazing. We felt like we were home the whole time.

Miinukset: There is absolutely nothing to not love about this property.

Plussat: The location of The Palms is on the beach and in the center of San Pedro across the street from the small airport. There are also several golf cart rentals very close by since this is the best way to travel around the area. The staff does a great job of keeping the grounds of The Palms looking beautiful and well groomed. The office staff and housekeeping respond quickly with requests and are friendly. We liked having a kitchen to cook breakfast and save a little bit of money since it is surprisingly expensive there ( a hamburger is $9 and fries are extra and a bag of potato chips is $5 at the local grocery store). There are also 3 dive shops within 100 yards.

Miinukset: The beds are a little too firm and the beach is hard to keep clean due to the seaweed. The seaweed or sea grass is all around the island and difficult to control. So no matter how much or how little you pay it affects every property.

Plussat: Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. They provide free bikes. First 5 gallons of filtered water is complimentary.

Miinukset: Beach area is very small, lots of sea grass causing bad odor. They provided one pack of coffee, pay for more.

Plussat: The location was perfect. The beds were enormous and both bedrooms were large. Beautiful views from the back and front patio in our room. Fully equipped and modern kitchen.

Miinukset: Couches could be more comfortable and creaked when we sat down.

Plussat: Yes! It's true. This place is a gem. Very convenient location - by the sea and close enough to the harbour for swift arrival and departure. The apartment is comfortable and clean. You can tell by the way it is decorated and equipped that the appartement is owned & loved! Our kids loved the swimming pool on site. All staff are very kind helpful. They booked a fantastic snorkeling tour for us next door at Ramons. Water is provided in the apartment. Overall an excellent experience and we would return in future only to see the beach again from our balcony.

Miinukset: There wasn’t anything to dislike about The Palms Oceanfront suites!

Plussat: Staff is excellent, the grounds are nice, the unit interiors are a little tired, but its the Caribbean, and everything has a little rust on it. Once you get past that, lay back and relax...

Miinukset: Nada

Plussat: Excellent service from the staff and property owner who were exceptionally helpful with bookings and other needs. We had 4 kids in our group and the pool was fantastic for them. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We felt very comfortable there and were sad to leave. Walking back and forth into the busy downtown area, returning to Xanadu always felt tranquil. We couldn’t hear the numerous golf cart engines once on the property.

Miinukset: I think one disappointment was that there is no beach on the property - gorgeous view of the water for sure, and a roped off swimmming area at the end of the dock - but we had to go elsewhere to let the kids play in sand and walk directly into shallower water. There are accessible beaches on nearby properties and we were glad to learn that the beaches are public — as long as you don’t sit in another resort’s lounge chairs, throw a towel down at any beach and you’re fine.

Plussat: The people and friendliness. Location close to the San Pedro Center. Great restaurants near by. Fantastic to go Snorkeling and diving. All tour companies will pick you up at the hotel dock and bring you back. Vacation

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Franz was very helpful with setting up local tours. He was very knowledgeable about each tour and steered us in the right direction. Melanie was very helpful with suggesting places to eat.

Miinukset: Beach is man made, as were all the resort beaches on the island.

Plussat: The staff was absolutely amazing they went over and beyond, every single one of them. The location was beautiful. felt like we stayed with Family.

Plussat: I did some research and was looking for something away from tourist but with good service to get excursions booked. The fact that the resort aims to be eco-friendly was a plus and that it had a pool and hottub by the water was nice. The staff was accomodating and professional. the rooms were cleaned daily. The pool was cleaned daily and so was the property. It also helped that they provide a taxi to and from the ferry or the airport in san pedro at no extra cost. We also enjoyed the pier at sunset and sundown. We used the kayaks and paddle boards. Someone in our party did not know how to ride a bike, but we would have used them if she did.

Miinukset: The only part that I compromised on was there was not a beach where you can walk right into the ocean from the property. But we were able to walk to Ramom's village which had beach front.

Plussat: Location was great staff was awesome

Plussat: Xanadu is a hidden gem. Our family did not want to leave the resort to go anywhere.

Plussat: Location, Staff, pools

Miinukset: Food at Restaurant,

Plussat: Coco beach is an excellent resort with an extreem lovely and helpful staff! The place is big and very nice/fancy with 2 big pools! We had an awesome time here! Dinner at cocoblanca was very majestic! To bad we were the only guests.. An other big plus are the beds!! Big beds with very soft linnens and pillows!

Miinukset: It is a bit far from the center! They have golfcarts but they are very expensive! So we took the free bikes! Unfortunatly we couldn’t take bikes after 5 pm because it gets dark.. so for dinner we had to stay near the hotel with lesser food options.

Miinukset: Bed was a bit hard for our taste

Plussat: The guest services staff was extremely helpful.

Plussat: Location was remote enough but close enough to restaurants and towns.

Miinukset: The air conditioner struggled some but it was still comfortable.

Plussat: Pool

Miinukset: Little far out of town

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The beds were very comfortable, I love the bathroom. Great service. I will definitely visit this hotel again. Very affordable.

Miinukset: Upgrade the door locks. They are very poor standard was not what you expect from any hotel.

Plussat: Great pool, great partner restaurant (Blue Watwr Grill), great location, friendly staff

Miinukset: Pier could have been better for swimming in the ocean. No steps or proper dock to swim.

Plussat: The location was perfect! The room is modest but fully functional and enjoyable! We loved staying here!

Miinukset: The bed was not firm enough for our liking, and not enough pillows

Plussat: SAfe gated apartments right on the waterfront and walkable to everything. Nice little pool where my son met other children to play with. We were picked up and escorted back to the airport.

Miinukset: Apartment needs blackout curtains, shower by pool doesn't work.

Plussat: Location is very good, restaurants, bars, scuba schools, supermarket and other amenities all very close by. The staff were very helpful and attentive.

Miinukset: There is no balcony or private outdoor seating for the Apartment, but we knew this before hand.

Plussat: Well equipped and spacious in a quiet location but only 5-10 minutes walk to restaurants and bars

Miinukset: Hidden costs of resort fees not included in headline cost

Plussat: Great location! Nice and quiet. No traffic/ road down this section of the beach which is present at many other properties. Very helpful staff. Cleaning service every day. The dock had some nice fish around it, worthwhile snorkelling. There isn’t really a beach but swimming off the dock rendered that not a problem. Kitchen is well appointed with a blender for drinks. Palapa bar next door is handy and excellent but you can’t hear it. Beds were comfortable.

Miinukset: Decore is a bit dated. Soap dishes in particular are cheap plastic travel cases. Some sugar in the kitchen for coffee would be nice as it’s tough to buy in small quantities.

Plussat: good Location

Miinukset: No facilities at the property, no restaurant, no bar, no housekeeping on Sunday. They charge like it was a 4 star hotel when it is only like a bunch of villas around a pool.

Plussat: Location, spaciousness, having more than one room, incredible view of the water, beautiful pool area

Miinukset: Can’t think of a thing

Plussat: Please I need to talk with the hotel, I called several time the number 5012264817 and nobody answer the phone, it is urgent, my home phone 14038737652 Juan Fuguet

Miinukset: Everyvthing

Plussat: It was clean and Modern, decent size rooms & nice staff.

Miinukset: This property is a good way out of Belize town you’ll need a golf cart. It’s more of an all inclusive resort without the all inclusiveness. You pay for everything in dollars which also includes a service charge on top. If you head up town you can find equally nice food at a fraction of the price It can sometimes feel false, the staff are nearly forced to be nice. It’s looking to cater towards people buying units and turning the area into the mahogany village If you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs as the noise outside from passing karts or rain can keep you awake.

Plussat: New resort in San Pedro, everything looks nice and clean, staff is very nice and really tries their best to help and do whatever they can for you to be happy and satisfied. Food was good especially the small stands that sells empanadas, tacos etc for a very reasonable price! Their outside coffee house is also excellent. You must rent a golf car because it's very large in size.

Miinukset: As mentioned by others the hotel is sea-front but for actual swimming you have to take a 15-min boat ride to the hotel's private beach area. The private beach is beautiful, however it has 2 major issues: first is a HORDE of mosquitoes so be prepared, and more important is that the beautiful water beds from the pictures ARE NOT FREE. The hotel charges 40$ For half day of usage! We felt this is kind of a fraud as this is literally the first image they show here online and to be honest a main reason for us to book this hotel over others. We complained and were allowed to use them free of charge. Moreover the hotel charges a 10% "Resort Fee" (that goes directly to them) for any food and beverage that you order, in addition to regular taxes and service fees! It just feels like a clever way for them to charge more money than what the menu shows without us noticing. Even an employee of the hotel told us that this resort fee is new and they received several complaints about it. Bottom line beautiful hotel but feels like they try to milk you from your money in many elaborate ways which we did not appreciate!

Plussat: Food was good if somewhat expensive.

Miinukset: The bed was not comfortable, hard as a rock

Plussat: The room and facilities were comfortable and beautiful

Miinukset: The food could use more flavor and was pricey

Plussat: Excellent property. I loved the little cottage that I stayed in - the bed was super comfortable and the facilities were great. The staff was awesome and I will absolutely be back!

Plussat: The room was beautifully made, the private beach was fabulous.

Miinukset: The room was not sound proof to the outdoors so you can hear every rustling of the leaves and when it rains, you need earplugs since the hut is built on a zinc roof. Check out was slow. The sushi place was bad.

Plussat: The private beach. Restaurant & Venues. Our room/canine,.... everything is fabtastic

Miinukset: I loved everything

Plussat: We loved everything about White Sands! The condo was perfect, beautifully decorated and met our every need, including kitchen appliances! The property is exceptional. After touring the island, it's the only place I want to stay on Ambergris. The staff are all super friendly and helpful, and they helped us make the most of our time. The location is also great - not too far from town, quiet, and close to all the cool things to do. We have already recommended White Sands to our friends. AMAZING!

Miinukset: We loved everything, although I wouldn't complain if they expanded their menu at the tapas bar. More good food is always a plus! The drinks are great, and the setting can't be beat.

Plussat: The staff here is excellent. Rooms are very clean and comfotable. Plenty of places to lounge by the pool or ocean.

Miinukset: Pretty far from town, you will need a golf cart. No Iron or hairdryer in the room.

Plussat: Wonderful setting and amazing rooms. Very friendly staff.

Miinukset: A bit odd that although they serve breakfast from 7am to 4pm you cannot get a coffee after 11am!!

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff Nice pool Good selection of food, or they try to make what you like.

Miinukset: Far from center town. Cleanliness of the apartment could be better. Account keeping when ordering food should be monitored better and guests asked to sign checks. They could have a free pickup service as many other hotels offer. Bikes offered were in bad condition

Plussat: Beautiful beach, friendly and helpful staff, nice pool and manicured gardens. It was great to have a kitchenette which we used every morning to make breakfast. Terri was super nice. We kayaked to the barrier reef and did some snorkeling which was a lot of fun. Close to secret beach for sunset, and to Akbol where they had very good food at affordable price.

Miinukset: Unfortunately... it was so hot!!! The weak ac would turn and off throughout the night and the party downstairs added to the irritation. After being in Belize for a week, this is the only place we got insect bites while sleeping. We also found roaches (baby ones and a big one) in our room :(

Plussat: Everything was nice and as advertised. We had a nice patio, great ocean view, full sized fridge, the AC worked like a champ, and for the very 1st time in a Central American country, a super comfy bed. The hotel is just North of the main part of San Pedro, convenient walking distance to all central activities. The staff was all very responsive and friendly.

Plussat: The facility was absolutely great; it was immaculately clean, well presented and really well furnished. The location was great too, right on the beach and just on the edge of town. The staff were friendly and helpful and the bar/restaurant area was also spotless. Fitz and his team provided really great food and were pleasant at all times. This is a fantastic place.

Miinukset: The pool is pretty small, but still big enough for a dip and to be fair, the sea is less than 100 yds away. Otherwise, nothing.

Plussat: The location and friendly staff

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Clean spacious room with nice kitchen, air conditioning worked well

Miinukset: The restaurant left something to be desired and the rates they had for tours and golf cart rentals were at least 30% more than could be found elsewhere.

Plussat: Everything was fabulous staff room was excellent. I would stay again. They need elevator for people who have trouble walking or hard time with stairs

Miinukset: Need elevator

Plussat: Staying here was an excellent experience. It's right on the beach, like feet away from the water. I could hear the ocean from the bedroom. And it's right next to everything, food, bars, tours, water ferry, it was super convenient. Kenroy is such a good cook! The food was great and he takes special requests. I felt very safe and comfortable here.

Miinukset: I genuinely liked everything. There is nothing I would change about my experience other than staying longer.

Plussat: The bed was so very comfortable and the staff was very responsive but there were many issues with our room. PS: Junior was the BEST bartender!!!

Miinukset: there were water heating and pressure issues (they actually replaced tankless water heater 2nd day in), our phone didn't work for 3 days and our wifi in the room only worked for a single day of our 6 day stay and the ants in the kitchen were a bit crazy. Also charged $20 for broken remote even with all the issues we grinned and dealt with.... Seems a bit knit picky on their end.

Plussat: We loved the amenities, my son played basketball, kayaked, and we hired board games for the nights we spent in the villa. The shuttle service was great too. The villa itself was wonderful and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Miinukset: We initially stayed in a superior sea view, but there was no view so we upgraded to the beach front at extra cost. Was slightly disappointed as we hadn’t budgeted for this and original view wasn’t as advertised. Still we are happy with our decision as it was well worth it and the villas themselves are lovely. The resort is 3.5 miles out of town which doesn’t sound much, but factor it in when planning your activities/meals out.

Plussat: Great staff, very helpful. Location was wonderful.

Miinukset: Room was in need of a few updates. Would have liked a TV in the bedroom.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Everything was fine.

Plussat: On the northern end of Ambergris Caye, the staff is incredibly accommodating. The spacious rooms are great for families. The location right on the beach can’t be beat and the water taxi to/from San Pedro stops right at their dock.

Miinukset: There is no real restaurant at the property, but it’s not a big deal since there are several restaurants right across the street.

Plussat: We loved our stay at Belizean Shores! The property was beautiful, especially the pool which we enjoyed multiple times a day. There is also a beautiful dock with hammocks over the water. Tennis court, bikes, golf cart rentals were also great, as was the fruit stand with fresh coconuts and the food and drinks we ordered poolside. The grounds were always immaculate and the staff very friendly and attentive. Also, the onsite tour operator Tuff E Nuff was amazing -- and right at the dock, super convenient!

Miinukset: The shower water temperature fluctuated often and the tap water is not desalinated, though they provide you with big jugs of water for drinking. This didn't bother us, but just something to keep in mind. And nothing to do with the hotel, but just want to mention that we were there in early October and the mosquitos were in full force, so bring bug spray!

Plussat: Good value and great staff. Rooms as advertised and comparable to others. Liked the pool and swim up bar set up

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It’s eclectic. No restaurant on the property...so, you either rent a golf cart....and drive up-or-down the road...or you cross the street...to the little place there....which is ACTUALLY pretty good! This is NOT your standard, canned resort property....it’s quirky....but, mostly in a fun sort-of way. Far enough from town to be “out of town”.....but close enough to get there....with a try. Staff was local and cool. We had a room , with a loft, which was quite cool...as I was traveling with two teenagers. Pool was fun....very strange, but entertaining design.

Miinukset: Beach is dread.

Plussat: The staff is very friendly and helpful. The grounds are kept up nicely. The location is good. Far enough from the town, but easy enough to get to town. The pool and bar is on the premises. The views are good and they have an excursion office on site which makes it easy. The reef with use of their free kayaks make it easy to get to the reef and snorkel. It is a good value for the price,

Miinukset: The units inside are showing its age and kitchen facilities are sometimes not complete or not working. The beds are somewhat comfortable, but need newer mattresses instead of a memory foam topper. There is no onsite restaurant, but many near by which helps.

Plussat: The hotel is on the ocean and we woke up to the most beautiful view each day. The staff members were very gracious and accommodating. It was very convenient to get to San Pedro. If we went back to Belize we would definitely stay at Belizean Shores again.

Miinukset: No. We liked everything.

Plussat: Very clean, comfortable, well equipped, good AC. Spacious room. Comfortable bed and pillows.

Miinukset: San Pedro town is not the nicest place but the Blue Tang is well situated and very clean and quiet.

Plussat: Great located and spacious rooms, super friendly staff.

Miinukset: It is a bit expensive if you want to rent a car at the hotel.

Plussat: Very homey, plenty of space in suite, full kitchen, good breakfast, courteous and helpful staff.

Miinukset: TV signal was poor, could not watch a lot of the channels.

Plussat: It was close to the ferry that took us to the island, so even though the hotel offered a free taxi, one could easily walk the distance. The breakfasts were good, with lots of fruit, coffee and local specialties. The pool was small but well taken care of.

Miinukset: Online we found nicer hotels in San Pedro with similar pricing. From now on, I will only book rooms with booking.com when the site says “refundable.”

Plussat: In town but on the quiet beach . The staff was friendly and very helpful in organizing snorkel trips

Miinukset: Slightly expensive for Belize but worth it

Plussat: It is clean, great location, security guard and feels very safe! Very accommodating staff!

Miinukset: Air conditioner broke the first night but was replaced right away, the night was comped- it was addressed super well by the staff!

Plussat: Great central location. Friendly staff.

Plussat: very friendly staff Loved the breakfast burrito! Liked the swings in the water. Liked the pier!

Miinukset: Liked the sandy area near the beach but the beach itself by the water was poor - sandbags were an eyesore. Did not like the pot holes on the road to town - terrible experience driving the cart to town. Did not like the fact that we were not furnished with bottled water in our room. Should be included with the stay.

Plussat: The chef cooks wonderful food. I was surprised. The pool is deep enough to practice free diving in. The beach was consistently clean. The staff was SUPER friendly and VERY attentive to our needs. A great value for the price.

Miinukset: It is a great property but dated. Looking at the other properties with swim up bars and being barefoot resorts there were things that we wished we had at our resort. The managers should take a walk and see what the other resorts offer. Some have shaded walks with bungalows.

Plussat: 1) The staff - everyone is super friendly, supportive, and efficient. Special shot out to Pedro and Jennifer at desk, Hector, Shelby and Charlene in restaurant. 2) Location is perfect. Easy to get to downtown San Pedro and to Secret Beach. Or just stay on resort and sit on beach there. Beaches on Ambergris aren't so hot but these guys try to keep the seaweed at bay. 3) Our penthouse was great. Plenty of space for the two of us but I could imagine it would have been just as nice for another couple to join. Nice pool on terrace.

Miinukset: The negatives are very very minor in the grand scheme of things and in no way detract from what was an amazing stay.

Plussat: Accommodations were large. Pool was nice.

Miinukset: “Beach” was unusable because of smell from rotting seaweed.

Plussat: The pool was amazing.

Plussat: The suites are roomy, clean, well equipped and serviced regularly.

Miinukset: The food at the 0 restaurant for dinner is average. The pool food is good though

Plussat: I enjoyed staying at Las Terrazas. We mostly cook our own food and the kitchen had all the necessary appliances. The villa was spacious, the staff extremely helpful and unobtrusive. Also the dive shop, White Sands, which had recommended Las Terrazas by the way, was well run, friendly and knowledgeable.

Miinukset: The beach was invaded with sargasses (there was nothing to be done about it) so one couldn't go into the water fram the beach. However we were directed to the beach on the other side of the island, a bit far, but a vwery pleasant place.

Plussat: Amazing food and amazing hotel

Miinukset: The beach could be better

Plussat: beautiful property, right on the beach within walking distance of several restaurants and dive shops

Plussat: Not overdeveloped and easy to get around

Miinukset: Mosquitos

Plussat: The view of the ocean and close to everything!

Plussat: What I love the most was the view from the room. It was amazing! The bed was very comfortable and the shower had plenty hot water. Staff was very kind. The place was not crowed so it's very intimate.

Miinukset: No breakfast available at the hotel but there are plenty places to go near by.

Plussat: Everything was great. The location for me was perfect as I go fishing everyday with Hogzilla just 30 seconds walk from their dock. Lots of great fishing memories. Caye Casa keeps a very clean beach. Will return.

Miinukset: The only thing i could request is more freezer space to freeze fish.

Plussat: They were able to keep the small stretch of the beach in front of the hotel free of sea grass, which provided amazing view from our room and from the heated pool. Don’t be discouraged by the size of the pool. It feels absolutely amazing, so do take a dip, you won’t regret it!

Miinukset: The shower was a bit weak, but hey, we were on vacation, it’s okay to take things slow.

Plussat: The room was clean and well equipped.

Miinukset: The hotel was in front of the sea, but there is a car street between. The "beach" was always full of seaweeds, and for full I mean that it was impossible to bath or walk on the beach, and the smell was not pleasant, too. The staff was very good in not inform at all us in advance about the fact that the sea was unreachable and that that was not a temporary situation. The staff was terrible: the guy responsible for the "welcome" desk is totally rude, unprepared, insolent and not collaborative. The breakfast consists in few wrapped sandwiches in a plate in the office: you should go there, take one, prepare your soluble coffee and that's it. Considering how expensive this place is, the service was ridiculous and I would never suggest anybody to go there.

Plussat: Caye Casa is perfectly located - beach views, very quiet, and just close enough to restaurants and bars that you're never too far away from the action. The staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was bright and clean. Very happy!

Miinukset: Nothing - our stay was really lovely.

Plussat: Decent location, very helpful and friendly staff, good value. I would probably stay here again but it does take some knowledge to get around and find transportation.

Miinukset: I don't think the sheets were cleaned after the first day we were there, otherwise the staff did well. also, the bath and shower supplies werent automatically replaced although they were willing to do so when asked.

Plussat: The views, room, staff, food, drinks were all first class and we can’t wait to come back. Oh, did I mention the drinks?

Miinukset: Not much to say here. The only thing that might have been better was the sea weed problem, but that’s not their fault. The crew worked tirelessly to keep it cleaned up, unfortunately, every morning it was back worse than the day before.

Plussat: Quiet spot on the island about 4 miles north of San Pedro, this place is great if you want to stay in the hotel and enjoy beach, reef... Next external restaurant is a 20 min walk along the beach and great for lunch. We stayed in the Upper Mansion offering one terrace on both sides so you can choose sun/shade. Saw some nice birds directly from the terrace. Mexican Rock snorkeling reserve is a 5 min boat trip only. Remember, you are on the lagoon side and sea gras accumulates on the beach every day. The hotel tries to clean but can never fully succeed. Some properties left and right are not used, therefore not cleaned. The amount of plastic you find in these areas should really make us think about the way we live. Nature does not throw plastics in the water, it is us.

Miinukset: If they could provide a ladder at the dock offering direct access to a bit deeper water, swimming might be even more easy.

Plussat: The resort villas surrounded the pool and overlooked the beach. The staff and the guests made it feel like a quaint village. The service was excellent and friendly. We really enjoyed sitting around the pool or bar and talking to some very amazing guests. The resort is laid back. It is easy to enjoy lounging at the pool or sitting on a chair on the beach.

Plussat: My husband and I loved our stay at Portofino. The journey to get to the resort was organized and they had planned everything out conveniently despite our multiple delays in Miami. The staff remembered our names, were very polite and friendly, and went out of their way to help make our stay better. We went to the restaurant to eat not realizing they were closing and Marcello and the restaurant staff made sure we ordered what we wanted despite them needing to catch their water taxi home. Mo, Luis and Daniella were all wonderful. We both decided that we would like to go back ASAP. Also we really loved the orange juice with breakfast

Miinukset: The potholes were insane on the road outside of the resort. Some extra lighting in the public roads would be nice as well

Plussat: Peaceful and pretty location by the sea, well-decorated rooms ( tree-top very spacious and more private as on an upper level).

Miinukset: Lack of free shuttle service by water to San Pedro. The town is 6 miles away so a little inconvenient for exploring other restaurants. The hotel bikes were in a very bad condition. We used these to cycle to town and would have repeated that trip or a different one, if the bikes were road worthy. We hired a golf cart for one day from the hotel which was also in a bad state and the rate is much higher than using a local company in town. The restaurant could be improved and updated. The choices are very limited and there are few healthy options. There should be more large salads as a main course. Given the proximity to the sea, why no whole grilled fish option?

Plussat: cute flower petals on the bed, the super friendly and amazing and helpful staff, the little rolled washcloth after arriving at the dock, how Moe was there to pick us up from the water taxi, soft bedding, how everyone always made sure we were back safe from daily travels, how they swept the sand from our room and porch when we were gone, the fries at the restaurant, the free bikes, the conditioner provided in the shower.

Miinukset: the directions we received on how to bike into town. Just tell people to take a hard right when you reach a T, then an immediate left when you see the sign for secret beach. everything else was PERFECT.

Plussat: The atmosphere was phenomenal.

Miinukset: The restroom didn't have A/C and was soooooo hot. Started sweating the moment I finished showering.

Plussat: Nice AC in the dorm rooms, esp after being outside in the heat. Staff were very helpful, and cool to have a bar connected to it. They also have a tour operator connected to organize snorkeling tours to Hol Chan, Eric.

Miinukset: Dorm room is fine, and prob best you can find in San Pedro for the price. Some of the shower heads could be fixed.

Plussat: From the start the staff was extremely helpful. We have been to Ambergris Caye before but they led us to discover a whole new part of the island. The hostel was extremely clean and safe. I would recommend this place to anyone, hands down. Also the location is prime, close to everything and beach front!!

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: My cash gone the second day morning when I went out to brush my teeth

Plussat: The staff greeted us with smiles and were very courteous of our long day. They allowed us to put our bags down, and told us they would be safe. We believed them as if they were our friends, I guess that's the vibe they gave off. The bartender didn't rob me when I tried paying American currency. The beds were super comfortable but the top bunks are for athletes only. The beach is literally in your bar. Great views. Awesome snorkeling right off the docks. Everything seems to be yours for the taking. No one told us we were where we shouldn't be, and we were obnoxiously every where. Don't swim past the socks, there's nothing to see and you'll die on the highway of boats. Dont get me wrong, there's a boat maybe every 2 minutes, but when your heads down.... If you're looking to save a buck, stay at the Snd Bar and walk into any of the expensive resorts and hotel bars you want. You can access all of them. Side note, a lot of the bars order food from sandbar!!!! I laughed when one of the workers from my hostel delivered my pizza to the bar down the street. The AC only turns on 9-9 but that climates you to the Caribbean weather which is so important when walking and biking the beaches. Don't pay more than 40 for a golf cart... Don't get one for more than a day. All you need is a bike and you'll be breaking speed limits, literally. Sorry golf art companies. you can reach most places via bike except the secret beach... It's a secret so you'll have to ask a local snitch. Everyone offers drugs at every corner. Not to kids that I saw, but to me, every f'ing corner, not at the hostel, this is downtown (lol, I'm trying to write a good review). The only way to get them to stop is to tell them you're a U.S. Cop. Worked for me anyways. Good luck and let go! You're on Vaca Cj

Miinukset: Everything I didn't like is a common trait in Belize. Sand bar seemed to me by get away from most of it though. They took care of their dogs.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Beds are really uncomfortable

Plussat: The location is amazing, right on the beach. They have several hang out spots with hammocks and floating chairs.

Miinukset: Haven’t stayed in a dorm room for a while and it was loud with the residents. Next time I will bring my earplugs.
