"A few miles out of the hustle and bustle of town, with easy access to it all-The beachfront at this place was incredible!Coconut palms provide a little shade, and the dock/pier are out of a postcard! Our unit was modestly sized(perfect for a couple) with great amenities, a well outfitted kitchen, and a comfortable bed. The whole facility was clean and inviting. A great pool, good landscaping, toys like fishing poles and snorkels- and the best part was the snorkeling right off the beach here!...

"Really enjoyed our time at this property. We loved the pool and the beautiful setting. We wish it had been closer to Placencia town as in the lower season many restaurants that were close were closed so it forced us to drive much further to get dinner. Also the room with the bunk beds is incredibly small which was challenging for my two adult children. They made it work but it was not ideal. The BBQ was in very poor condition and was barely operable for us to use to cook dinner. Still loved...

Prana Maya Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, beautiful room, amazing staff - should be a 5 star resort - amazing food!! We had the best experience- stayed in June for our anniversary and can’t wait to come back"

Sirenian Bay Resort - Villas & All Inclusive Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"I have traveled all over the Caribbean and stayed at many beautiful resorts with exceptional service, but nothing compares to my experience at **Sirenian Bay Resort** in Belize. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, the staff was the most professional, courteous, and genuinely caring team I have ever encountered. They didn't just provide great service—they made us feel like family. Every interaction was warm, welcoming, and sincere. One staff member who truly stood out was **George**. His attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond made our stay unforgettable. He was always attentive, accommodating, and seemed to anticipate our needs before we even had to ask. George is a tremendous asset to the resort. The resort itself was absolutely immaculate. Every area was spotless, beautifully maintained, and designed to create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The vibe was exactly what we were looking for—quiet, welcoming, and the perfect place to unwind. And let's not forget the food! Every meal was delicious, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The drinks were equally impressive, expertly crafted, refreshing, and the perfect complement to each day in paradise. If you're looking for a resort that combines luxury, incredible hospitality, outstanding food, and a relaxing atmosphere, look no further than Sirenian Bay Resort. Thank you to George and the entire staff for making our stay so memorable. We will definitely be back!"

The Ellysian Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I visited in January 2026 and had the most AMAZING and memorable honeymoon. The staff was wonderful and so helpful from the time we booked until the day we left. Every single person we encountered was kind, welcoming, and helpful. The people who picked us up from the airport (our flight got in a couple of hours early) came within 10 minutes to pick us up early after we called and they offered us a local beer (or water). We were welcomed at the property with a glass of champagne and warm smiles. Every excursion we requested was booked for us and confirmed the day before so we knew where to go and when we would be picked up. They offered recommendations any time we asked and even helped to rent us a golf cart for a day. Oh and they got us VIP service when we went to The Yatch Club for drinks and appetizers our last night. Every night we were greeted with a special note. The spa upstairs and restaurant as well as the poolside bar were all incredible. The property was clean and well kept. They had a water dispenser with filtered water. I loved the soap, shampoo and conditioner. The rooms were beautiful with amazing views of the sea. The location couldn’t have been better. We could walk to everything. The Ellysian really made a long lasting impression on us and we will be forever grateful for all they did to make our honeymoon unforgettable. Thank you to each and every one of you for going above and beyond. Mark and Sandy"
