We stayed twice during our visit to Belize, as book-ends, in order to coordinate our flights. The staff was wonderful, the room was very nice, the grounds were clean, as well as the lovely pool area. The room was clean. The only complaint is that the restaurant was a bit less than we expected. It was fine, but the selections were a bit limited.

We did not expect to be able to check in several hours early, but our room was just about ready, which we were so glad of! The room was exquisitely clean and the A/C was magically cool. I enjoyed the porch swing, the poolside beer, and the attentive service over my delicious breakfast the next morning. The complimentary bottle of Marie Sharp's hot sauce was a wonderful touch!

Great Old Building constructed from wood, had a lovely stay over the new year period and was treated to bubbly and party hats for the NY celebrations. Perfectly situated in St George area and well within walking distance of BZ city and the water Taxi terminal my only gripe was there is a large construction site across the road which was quite noisy especially in the morning, so didn’t get many lie-in’s.

We loved the house, a wooden mansion dating back to colonial times, and our room passing down the feeling of times lost (n°2, afcing the reception). Yes, there's construction accross the street, but this is bound to be finished in 2026. The best, though, was the reception we received by both young ladies at the front desk, both extremely nice and helpful. Thanks!
