Absolutely the most stunning hotel and location. Our king room overlooked a pristine sandy beach. Everything was just perfect, the staff, the decor, the comfort and the food. The breakfast included a Belizean specialty the fry Jack. A delicious puff of doughnut like bread served with or without sugar and cinnamon. The friendly bartender Elvis makes the most spectacular cocktails at the beach bar. The owners were on site overseeing operations and their attention to detail makes everything so...

I did a lot of research for our trip to Belize and just really couldn't find a place that seemed more appealing in our price range than Sleeping Giant. I was not disappointed. First, I'll say that we are the type of people to rent a car so we have a mode of transportation to explore, but at the suggestion of the hotel manager we decided to go with the hotel car service. I am SO GLAD we took her advice. Our flight was delayed and we got there after dark and there is NO WAY we would have ever...

From the moment we stepped on property we had the feeling that we had found a special place in the jungle. The facilities were great, the tours were fun, but what made the resort different from all the others was the staff. My kids laughed and joked with them the entire time. The dinner service was fantastic with a four course dinner and two dinner options available each not. We traveled to other areas in Belize after leaving Caves Branch.

HANDS DOWN, the best resort! We stayed for 3 nights in Placencia, and when we come back we will go here without even second guessing it. Manny at the front desk is EXCEPTIONAL, Amir and all of the dining staff go above and beyond for EVERYTHING! Our room was clean, comfortable and properly taken care of daily. The spa is OUTSTANDING. I have traveled all over the world and this resort/hotel is at the top of my list. They took care of our every need and question. They looked out for us as their...

We got this place at last minute, arrive late and the owner host were waiting for us.
Room very naive, individual tree houses. The place is beautiful, we could not enjoy it ,much because we were in Placencia for a weeding and we were pretty busy, left early and come back late, we did have breakfast and I can say it is very good and reasonable, their restaurant have a great sea view.

Place is very peaceful. Even though it was fairly busy it always felt quiet. It is close enough to walk into town but far enough to not deal with the kookiness of town. Staff was amazing. Food was better than most restaurants we went to in town.

My girlfriend and I could not be more happy with our stay at the Ellysian. I truly believe it is the best hotel/resort to stay in all of Placencia and possibly Belize. I know this probably sounds fake or like an add for this hotel but I really am this in love with the hotel and recommend it to everyone.
First off, the facilities themselves are beautiful! Everything is kept extremely clean and beautifully furnished. The rooms are GIANT! We stayed in a non-ocean front room which we...

For starters, if your idea of a great beach hotel looks something like a big city Marriot plunked down into a locale with sand and water, manned by local folks sanitized with white uniforms, then Parrot Cove Lodge, and for that matter Hopkins Beach in general, is probably not what you are looking for, and I'm guessing they are not all that interested in you either. If on the other hand you appreciate an intimate experience with your hosts, a clean, comfortable, well maintained room, excellent...

Our stay was wonderful. We are a mom & 3 daughters on a girls get away! Hotel has complimentary paddle boards, kayaks and bicycles. Wonderful swim up bar. Delicious food in the restaurant. Extremely helpful staff. Jason was exceptionally helpful. Also complementary shuttle in to town and to/from airport
The hotel is quite remote. If you don't have a car you must rely on the shuttle which has set hours that may not match up with your plans

It's a bit far away form Placencia village, but hotel provides free shuttle. A bit of a pain to wait for the driver to bet back, as they are not always on time.
Rooms are clean and restaurant is great.
One issue - we couldn't use the pictured pier with a gazebo and bar much (if ever) because there was a convention there and they kept other tourists off that pier, while kids from convention occupied the pier of breakfast, lunch, dinner and all activities.

Incredibly beautiful. So much to see on the 7200 acres. Abundant wildlife . Pine forest and broadleaf jungle. Jaguar Reserve. Waterfalls everywhere. Could not believe what we were seeing. Made it hard to travel off the property to see other sites.
Staff was wonderful. Ofelia ,Marissa
