Villas at Playa de Coco

10/10 Excellent

"We loved Villas at Playa de Coco! The room configuration was great whether your traveling as a couple, with multiple friends, or it would make for a fantastic retreat. The property finishes are high quality, staff was friendly and helpful, semi private pool was lovely and the beach was immaculate. We had the best time and cant wait to go back!!!"

Julia´s Cabanas

10/10 Excellent

"Shelly was absolutely amazing! She made my stay feel exceptionally welcoming. The property was a little rustic but I feel that I was integrated into the true Belizean community by the location.I would definitely return if Shelly's personalized professional presence remains at Julia's. Thank you Shelly for your kindness during my stay."

Ray Caye Private Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Ray Caye is the ultimate one-stop-shop for an incredible experience in the cayes of Belize. Beautiful, clean, amazing staff and food. You literally don’t have to leave the island to do anything you want to do but if you do, Silk Caye diving is 5 minutes away. Amazing place."

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"
