What Our Friends Say About Us
We 10/10 recommend Hamanasi! We spent 6 days there with our family of 6, and everybody absolutely loved it. The rooms are amazing - we stayed in the treehouses, and it was so quiet and peaceful. The service is phenomenal, possibly some of the best we've experienced. Everybody was friendly and helpful without being overwhelming. We loved the location, far enough from the highly touristed areas but not too far. The food was excellent with a wide variety of options at each meal. The activities are well-planned and fitted to your interests. The property is gorgeous - the grounds are perfectly maintained, and we felt 100% safe the entire time. The ease of the reservation process and planning was excellent. We will definitely return!
I give Hamanasi my highest recommendation. We came for a week and booked the double room (separate room with two small beds for the kids) and got the adventure and food package. The adventure package included five expeditions and the food package covered all meals, excluding alcohol and specialty coffee drinks. I've never felt more welcome at a hotel - everywhere we went the stafr said hi and knew our names. The food was excellent and the kitchen is really accommodating and will make you anything so long as they have the ingredients. Special shout out to our guide BJ who we had the pleasure of being with for snorkeling, canoeing, and hiking. We almost never visit the same place twice but will return to Hamanasi in a few years.
This is the second time we have stayed at Hamanasi. This is an absolutely amazing resort that is small, intimate where everyone addresses you by name and you have the opportunity to meet others, but grand enough to offer so many amenities and activities. We cannot say enough about the first class service, location, food, staff, and eco-friendly and knowledgeable guides. I can’t imagine traveling to Belize and staying anywhere else!
To start, I must give a shout out to the fabulous, professional, warm dive crew at Hamanasi. France, Eric, Big Daddy and everyone else made us feel safe at all times while adding humor and adventure to our multiple dive experiences. We truly enjoyed spending hours with them on the boat and during our island breaks. They also gave us valuable diving tips after each excursion that helped us improve our skills. I am a new diver, and my experience with this crew makes me want to expand my certification and return to Hamanasi for more! The resort is simply magical. Everyone knew our names, asked about our daily adventures, made us laugh, and treated us like family. Our treehouse room was beyond beautiful. The restaurant food was spectacular, and the pool area was chill and serene. We especially enjoyed giving resident cat Mango daily scratches (he was most friendly when his food bowl needed a refill!). Although many guests get the full meal plan at the resort, I recommend you save some dinners for the fantastic Chef Rob’s Gourmet Cafe down the street (reserve his chef tasting dinner) and karaoke night at Ella’s in town (the food there is also fresh and delicious). And don’t forget to stop by Black Orchid Ice Cream in the afternoon after an excursion. A perfect vacation!
The Hamanasi is a beautiful hotel with amazing excursions, great rooms, and nice pool and beachfront. The first couple nights we stayed in a treehouse room. The room was very nice and enough room for our family of 5. Then halfway through our stay, we switched to the beachfront room. They were about the same size but the beachfront one was nice because it was right next to the pool. The breakfast was very good with lots of options and fresh food every day. We normally ordered lunch by the pool or packed it to go for our adventures. Love how the servers get to know you by name very quickly. You can tell they are trained well! Dinner was also delicious and the waiters were very kind. One of the best adventures to sign up for is the chocolate tour. First they take you to a cocoa farm and show you the first steps of making chocolate there. Then you go to the factory where you get to make your own chocolate. There is also a store downstairs where you can buy some of the organic chocolate that they make. the other excursions that we did were diving, ziplining, waterfall repelling, and fishing. The dive shop was very organized and easy even if you aren't a professional diver. The dive crew was amazing and we felt very safe while diving. The fishing was another amazing experience that we had at the Hamanasi. It was not through the hotel, but the adventure center gave us the recommendation. We caught at least 30 fish, including one barracuda. The hotel cooked the fish that we caught for dinner that night and it was delicious. The ziplining and waterfall repelling were another highlight of our stay. They were both at the same place about 45 minutes away from the hotel. Our family got a private van and driver to take us there and back. They were always so professional and knowledgeable, especially Mr. Field. For the ziplining, there is a short hike to get to the first line. They take you on 8 different ziplines over the rainforest with amazing views. I would recommend the ziplining for everyone. It felt very safe but it was also very fun. The waterfall repelling was a all day activity. It started with a steep hike to get to the waterfall. It started raining halfway through our hike, but we were going to get wet anyways so it was fine. At the top of the waterfall there was a natural pool that we could swim in. There was also a spot above the waterfall that you could jump off of. After swimming, we took family photos with a beautiful view in the background. Next came the waterfall repelling. The guides hooked you up to a rope and then sent you one at a time down the waterfall. It was very hard but extremely fun. We went down 2 sections of the waterfall, and then hiked back down. Another tour that we did was the wood shop and garden tour. At the wood shop tour, they showed us how all of the chairs, stools, and furniture were made for the hotel. The garden tour was very beautiful and it was nice to see how they use all of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs in the food that they serve. The pool and the beach area at the hotel are very nice. The only problem was the Sargassum sea grass. It piled up at the shore so we couldn't go swimming for most of the time. One of our favorite parts of the hotel was Mango the cat. She always sat right outside the main building and loved to be pet. Overall the Hamanasi exceeded our expectations and was a great choice to stay in Belize.
Me and my boyfriend had an amazing vacation in Hamanasi. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, great food at the hotel restaurant, beautiful room, very clean and amazing trips offered by the hotel! Absolutely 10/10!!
I was in a party of nine that spent seven nights at Hamanasi in April. The members of our group spanned the ages of 55 to 14. This was our first visit to Belize and Hamanasi. We had an excellent time and hope to return in the near future. Aspects of our stay that stood out include the very high quality of the food, the exceptionally friendly and responsive staff, the variety of the land and reef adventures, and the very relaxing vibe of the resort. I also very much appreciated the very environmentally aspects of the resort. This resort will appeal to travelers who enjoy snorkeling, diving and active land-based adventures. Hamanasi managent, please don’t change a thing!
We just got back from this lovely resort. Everything was wonderful! The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay fabulous. The food was great - you can ask for anything and they will try to accommodate any special requests. Excisions were amazing. All in all this is an incredible resort and we’d highly recommend it.
This was a great place!! A shout out to the bar tenders, the grounds keepers, the house keepers, tour guides, cooking and restaurant staff and front of house! Everyone was very hospitable and very personable. Will definitely be coming back!
