    The room was small and had a very small bed. The ocean was not clear, but had a weird muddy bottom. But the pool was beautiful. Also they were spraying chemicals to help with the bugs but did this often, which gave me a headache.

    Pool and grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Very nice property.

    The wedsite information did not match the practice at the resort. For example, the website said complimentary shuttle to town, but it was 50.00 US.

    The food was very good. Pool was excellent. Location was a bit far from other activities. No gift shop.

    My AC didn't work to capacity. TV was broken but replaced, twice. No phone in room, had to ask for one. Parking lot & walkways were flooded. Had to wade to my car. Last day ceiling was leaking.

    Always stay here. Staff greets me & are eager to resolve any problems.

    The resort is a distance from town and without a personal vehicle, it is a little inconvenient (though they do run a shuttle 4x/day). There are 3 dining locations on property but they are all serving the same exact menu. Lots of sargasso seaweed is washed up on the beach even though the staff works hard raking it up every morning. Just something to be aware of pretty much all over.

    I was upgraded to a master suite which was very comfy. The staff was great; always friendly and helpful. I loved the excursions booked through them. The meals that I ate on the property were all tasty. The shuttle service into town is very useful. The spa is another great place to be pampered. The pool is also outstanding!

    the people above us were so loud, and we basically got a “oh well” from the front desk. this kept our 2 babies up all night since we were ground floor under some college kids partying.

    excellent for young families, great pool and it was never too crowded.

    They flat-out refused to give me a tax invoice, even after Booking.com's intervention (you connect the dots here 😉) so that 12.5% you pay on top of everything is a rip-off.

    The pool was great, as well as the food and the staff. The beach is well tended to look pristine. Great atmosphere all in all.

    The gym gets flooded. The Tennis Courts are ruined. The TV/Technology is from the late 90's (at least before USB's). And the staff could show a little more excitement or smiles. The internet was decent but there wasn't a desk or business area that I could find to work.

    The pool of course. Best pool in Belize. Kids enjoyed seeing the iguanas, playing on the beach, and there's a large shallow area of the pool for them. The resort offers a free shuttle into Placencia and that's a great offer!

    The rooms are very dated. The coffee maker was very old and dirty. Didn’t feel comfy using it. You cannot use the beach really ( ours stay was in late May 2022) because of the sargassum washing up to the beaches. It seemed like it was everywhere on the peninsula.

    The hotel was very accommodating to our dietary needs. We are both plant based and ate breakfast there every morning.

    The grounds were great. The pool is nice and the access to kayaks and paddle boards is great.
