"Absolutely stunning resort! The cabana we stayed in was right on the beach with an incredible view of the bay. The room was very comfortable and had great amenities. Location is easy to get to and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I could see myself doing a much longer stay for sure!!! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy the peaceful beauty of Belize! "

"We have stayed at the Princess Vegas many times on our trips to the Duty-Free zone as it is very convenient. We enjoy the pool as it had just been maintained and the casino is always a fun place to spend a few hours after dinner. The restaurant has great food however we have noticed that there has been a turnover of staff and service has dropped dramatically. "

"Waking up to the most beautiful sunrise out your bed window was amazing. The hosts made you feel like part of the family and did more than was asked. If you are looking for nature and being taken care of, this is the place for you."

"It was just what I imagined, off grid, affordable and an end of the road adventure. Ed and Lynn are some of nicest most accommodating hosts. They helped find affordable adventures even joined us for fishing and snorkeling. Their convenient store and local food suggestions saved me tons of money! If your looking for an OFF GRID adventure this your place!!! "

"We absolutely loved our week at Serendipity Reef. 10/10 for sure would highly recommend! Gracelyn was extremely helpful, kind & so gracious. The home itself is beautifully furnished, very comfortable & well stocked. We loved the private pool & even spent a couple days never leaving the house. Secret beach is truly the gem of the island. No sargassum at all, so you can walk out, eat & lounge on the beach all day. Pro tips: bring bug spray, buy frog king & stop at the store before you go to the...

"The house was perfect! Private and relaxing and only a 3minute golf cart ride from the stunning, amazing Secret Beach. Our host was great and Franz was the best!!! We will definitely recommend and stay again."

"The staff were perfect for the setting. Relaxed and willing to help with anything from getting water and towels to advice on local culture and booking adventures."
"X’Tan Ha Resort was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The customer service was truly exceptional. The team was highly communicative, arranged transportation for us seamlessly, and remained extremely responsive throughout our stay. That level of care made a real difference.
Our room was exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The entire property feels like a hidden gem. It is peaceful and quiet, and the guests we encountered were warm and friendly, which added to the relaxing atmosphere.
The resort is a bit removed from some of the busier parts of the island, but that actually contributes to its charm. If you rent a golf cart, getting to other activities and areas is easy and convenient.
One moment that really stood out was when I accidentally left my backpack in a transport van before my flight. I was honestly in panic mode, but the resort team stepped in immediately and was instrumental in helping me get it back. That level of support and care speaks volumes about their commitment to guests.
My only critique is that it would be helpful to have more food options available and open later in the evening. Aside from that, this resort is top notch. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, well-run place to stay."
"This is our second time at Portofino, and it was excellent. Far enough away from the city to be quiet and peaceful. Close enough to get to great restaurants and bars. The staff is friendly and readily available at all times. Accommodations are clean and quaint.
Their dive shop has everything you would want to do to experience the sea life and pristine waters. I recommend a dive or snorkeling adventure with Kris. The fresh coconuts with rum just down the road from Steve and Angel and Roddie’s cocktails at the bar. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"Beautiful place! Amazing host! It’s small, simple, and quiet, just what we were looking for. If you want peace and relaxation in a gorgeous Caribbean setting look no farther than Belizima eco resort. So cool to fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of tropical birds and the gentle waves lapping the shore right outside of our cabana. Loved the 3 resident dogs. We would definitely stay here again! I’d give more stars if I could."
"We stayed at Tranquility Bay as a family of four for 4 days and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful secluded resort with a well maintained nice sandy beach. We came here for the snorkeling and it was a great place for our 8&9 year old to learn. There are a few small reefs (~20-30ft wide) that you can swim to from the beach. The water remains shallow for quite a distance and there are some sand bars you can stand up on. There is also an outer reef ~500 feet from the beach that can be reached by Kayaks (provided by the resort). What is special about Tranquility Bay is that the outer reef is very close to shore, whereas further south along Ambergris caye the reef is over 1km away from shore. We did kayak out to the reef and the channel that opens between the outer reef and the protected shallows. But snorkeling this area is challenging for a novice.
The most memorable snorkeling we did was a boat ride tour the staff took us on to Mexico Rocks/Stingray City.
The entire staff were very hospitable and made our stay enjoyable. Manager Axcel has done a great job. Sitting on the deck for meals and taking in the view, the undulating waves, fish and sunset was unsurpassed. A bonus was fly fishing from the dock - our 9 yo was thrilled to cash 3 fish in the span of 3 hrs! They will even serve what you catch!
Downsides: the resort is far from San Pedro (30min boat ride $225 return, 1hr by car?$150) and secluded. 6 meals in a row of chicken fingers was a bit much for our kids."
