"Kinga was the most welcoming of hosts, she is creating a little patch of paradise and the cabana that we stayed in was blissful. Clean, comfortable, and with the most exquisite views to wake up to. Sad we were only there for one night, I could have stayed a month, thank you so much Kinga for your wonderful hospitality xx"

Private Beachfront Villa w/ Chef,Pool, Toys,Golfcart| Full-Service Belize Escape
10/10 Excellent
"Let's start with the host. Communication is excellent from the moment I book through the end of the trip. Jerry truly wants to ensure you have an excellent stay.The house is great. The views from the porch are picturesque (fyi, bring bug spray for the early morning and for dusk). The pier is beautiful, providing you with early sunrise pictures. You can sometimes see the dolphins playing a hundred yards or so off the pier. The pool is great. It is cool and refreshing! The house itself has everything you need, but who cares right, who goes to paradise to sit in a house? 2 kayaks and 2 paddleboards are available. You can paddle to the reef and snorkel on your own, but it is a bit of a trek, but definitely worth it! As if it couldn't get better, you get Carlos and Lucita. They both work extremely hard to ensure you don't want for anything. Lucita provides the meals and Carlos takes care of the grounds. They are super friendly and extremely kind! They truly make the experience so much better. If you are a snorkel lover, be sure to book Mexico Rocks with Mr. Hill. We saw barracuda, an assortment of fish, as well as several turtles!This was our second time staying. We love this piece of paradise. Far away from the city to unwind and relax but close enough (45 minute golf cart ride) to visit if you want too. Check out Annie's bakery if you take a trip to town! If you want to unwind and relax in a serene setting, this is the place for you!"
"We had a great stay at Coco Beach. The 2 bedroom 2 bath suite was so nice to have so that everyone had their own space. They treated us like VIP’s from the moment we landed in Belize City and helped us with our transfer to the Maya airlines flight. Let the resort help you by booking your transfer flight and your shuttle to the hotel that way they will choose the time that’s best to match your flight schedule. We were very impressed by their customer service from start to finish. The food at the pool bar restaurant was great and being able to order room service without an up charge was a game changer for breakfast in the room. The kids enjoyed the pool area as well as the free kayaks and paddleboards. The heated swim up pool bar was a nice surprise and was really nice when it rained and you wanted to stay in the pool but could be under a cover. The property was quiet and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay here and were very happy with the location as well. It was a short ride to Secret Beach and any restaurant we wanted to visit and golf carts were easy to rent as needed."
"We visited Orchid Bay in late June, and had a wonderful time. Staff were uniformly knowledgeable, helpful, attentive and thorough. Our beach-view casita was lovely, fully-equipped and very comfortable. Food at the restaurant was plentiful and varied (even for folks who have some eating restrictions, as we do). We took advantage of a variety of activities and tours, enjoyed them all, and felt that all were definitely worth our time and money.
We were at Orchid Bay during rainy season, and recommend bringing strong bug spray as well as heavy-duty sunscreen - though if you forget, both are available at the sundries shop in the restaurant. If you don't plan on consuming a lot of alcohol, the breakfast-inclusive plan on Expedia may be a better value for you than the all-inclusive available elsewhere.
The resort is not glamorous or in the middle of exciting nightlife and luxury shops - if that's the vibe you're seeking, you'll want to go to one of the heavily-touristed towns. Instead, Orchid Bay resort is lovely - as relaxing or full of activity as you'd like, with plenty to do and see and learn, wonderful accommodations, good food, and excellent staff. This was our trip for our 25th anniversary, and we were delighted!"
