Find 4 Star Hotels in Independence and Mango Creek

"The staff was A+! They were very attentive, kind and happy! "

"The bungalow where we stayed (Marlin) was spotless and accommodated two adult couples perfectly. We enjoyed the outside seating area. The resort is small and peaceful with a gorgeous beach. Due to the time we went, it was not crowded at all and the staff could not do enough for us. The food was excellent at both the pool area and the restaurant across the street. This is a serene and quiet resort. If you are looking for tons to do and lots of activity, this is not the place for you but if you are looking for paradise with warm turquoise waters and some water activities like kayaking, snorkeling and SUPs, this is perfect. I can't wait to go back. Only negatives are the sandflies and the chaotic airport in Belize City. Bring bugspray and anti-itch meds in case you are sensitive (seemed to only apply to the women on our trip!). We loved Sirenian Bay Resort!"

"Spa was absolutely amazing "

"Itz'ana is exceptional. The staff embodies the meaning of hospitality. From the reception desk, the wait staff, housekeeping; everyone was so nice and helpful. The GM is amazing, he has assembled a great staff. We are aready planning our trip back in February 2026. We love this place."

"The staff are fantastic!!!"

"The best of both worlds! This property is stunning, and it really offered the best of both worlds. We were able to experience resort-style amenities and service, while enjoying the space of an AirBnB. Our suite was huge and gave us ample room to enjoy ourselves. It was nice to be able to cook some meals in the suite, although they could definitely stand to upgrade their kitchenware. The pool is huge, and we really enjoyed the swim-up bar. The restaurant sits right on the water, and we were really impressed with the food there. The service is top-notch from the bar to the housekeeping staff. *A note about the location: Placencia is a lot bigger than I realized. This property is in an area that is mostly just resorts and a handful of restaurants. A little further South is Maya Beach, which is quite nice. If you want to actually visit Placencia Village, it's a good 20-30 minute drive. So this is the perfect location for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. But if you want to be in the heart of Placencia, go further South. "
