We had a great stay. The staff was incredibly accommodating. Even waited for us the night we arrived to not close the kitchen and have dinner since during the week there are minimal dining options after 8pm. Overall, great experience. Food and Spa was great too.

There’s no hot tub there, which is why I booked it. But great atmosphere and close to the night life. Rooms will make you feel like you are on a ship (dark). Beautiful beach and the cabana porch is awesome! Staff are incredible.

The staff at this place make it so enjoyable. Service was great and the restaurant and chef were the best. We stayed in the original palapa’s / casitas and they have been redone nicely with local paintings, a nice couch and refrigerator.

Great location. Work in progress.
The location is awesome. About 15-20 minutes away from the golf cart grid lock of San Pedro. About 5 minutes from the Truck Stop, and 20 minutes from Secret Beach. We should have gotten a cart for the duration of our stay. The property is in the midst of renovation. The staff is awesome. On the other hand, this is the first hotel in Belize where you have to buy, yes buy, your water. The room did not have a microwave. But Greg, who runs the restaurant will gladly reheat food for you.

No acess to beach, wait staff were very friendly, however the delivery of food was extremely slow even when no one was there but you. We felt that the staff did their jobs very well.we stayed 10 days and enjoyed our stay and our villa looked just like the pictures.

We loved our cabana! It was right on the ocean, authentic, clean, and had lots of room for the two of us. We loved the location, it close but not too close to the heart of the city so we had lots of things to do that were close but did not have to deal with the busy downtown. The only things we did not love were the beds (we found it hard) and the cost of the drinks and food at the resort. It was more expensive so we left all the time to eat and drink. One thing to be aware of in general is that no restaurants or coffee shops open unitl 8am so if you are an early riser ensure you have snacks and coffee in your room!

Construction going on the property and the property next door. Lots of early morning noise. Advertising beach from property when it should was bayside. You don’t have access to beach. When eating in breakfast Restaurant lots of bees swarming us. Staff was dishonest in trying to work on our concerns.

The pictures on Expedia and their site are VERY outdated. The resort exterior is super run down and underwhelming. You drive up and the first thing you see is the "casino" which is closed and dilapidated. We got there around 6:30 and the lobby was closed luckily a worker let us into our room.
1/2 the resort is going through renovation which was not mentioned so the main pool would not be a place you would want to hang out.
The cabana we stayed in was nice- definitely dated but served the purpose. There was 4 of us and we were given 3 towels (we got more the next day) and there was nowhere to hang anything. We had bathroom towels all over the room.
I am sure this place used to be amazing, but it has definitely lost a lot of its luster. We really didn't do anything there but sleep. There were two pools but we did not use either as they did not seem that clean. We got one cup of coffee for $5usd that was Kirkland brand but did not get any food so not sure quality there.
We had stayed at the Belizan Shores last year and wished we would have moved but it was too much of a hassle.
All of the staff that we talked to were great- friendly and attentive.

Our air conditioner leaked for two days before we realized because it was going into my travel purse so we didn’t hear it. They fixed that. I also told them that our tv didn’t work because it needed an antenna cable. I was told that our room didn’t have one. Normally when we vacation we don’t watch tv but when it rained for two days we needed it. My husband lost a room key on the dock. I told the office right away. They said it was ok. One employee can ruin the whole trip. Fortunately for us it was the last morning. He charged me $25 for the room key and never compensated for the ruined bag and no tv. I asked for a manager and he said first he wasn’t there. Then by the time I got done talking and asked when the manager will be there. He told me they didn’t have one. I just paid it and learned to never go back

I like that it had beautiful rooms with options to have a kitchen to make your own meals when needed. The construction wasn't great, but excited for the renovations to come. Wish the casino had been back open too.

We had a beautiful view of the sea from our porch. The 1 bedroom suite was very spacious and comfortable. The beach was clean but we didn't realize it would have a sea wall and you could not enter the water easily plus it was rough water.
There was construction next to the Captain Morgan pool and restaurant which made it a bit dirty and ugly. However, the breakfast deal was a great option at $65 per person for the entire week.
The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating.

All the staff from the reception area to the restaurant were very friendly. The main pool had construction going on but was beautiful to have breakfast at the pool. The other pool, which belongs to the adjacent resort on property was absolutely breathtaking. You could walk into the pool just as if you were from the shoreline to the ocean, which I loved. No steps to get in and out of the pool.
My beach front cabana room was very comfortable and had all the necessities required, including a nice front patio

When we came 8 years ago there were more amenities. We were a little disappointed to see that they no longer had the swim-up bar overlooking the water and you couldn't charge anything to your room. You always have to have your money with you. Lots of construction and changes happening. They should at least warn anyone trying to book. Overall, we still enjoyed our time there. Hard to have a bad time on Ambergris Caye.

The resort is well developed. The interior is a bit antiquated but clean and functional. The resort has organized everything needed to travelers, ie.. golf cart rental (on property) WiFi passwords, on site restaurant and bar ( great food) , swimming pool and a/c unit that works great, transportation to and from the airport (additional fees) and an on site convenience store. A major plus that we didn’t realize until the end of our trip was that the resort operated on a super quiet generator. The island during our trip encountered multiple days and hours without electricity. At the resort we never were inconvenienced due to the loss of power in the area. We respectfully turned off our lights and a/c when we went out exploring the island and can’t imagine trying to sleep without a/c. The staff is friendly and treated us like royalty. This was our first stay at the resort and would stay there again without hesitation.
