We absolutely love everything about Hamanasi. The rooms are lovely, ample in size, and the treehouse rooms are especially beautiful. Private, large, close to wildlife, and very special. The service is impeccable. Everyone is just lovely. And the Dive Shop is the most professional, impressive one we’ve ever seen. Our whole family dives, and we are return visitors. We loved our dive instructors. My wife and I got our Advanced PADI certification, and our daughters will do that on their next trip. We plan to return again!

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!

Best vacation ever! Hamamasi Resort is fantastic. The staff is always happy and ready to assist you with whatever you need. The adventures are top notch and the guides are very knowledgeable about where you are and what you are seeing. The food is spectacular and the staff will work with you regarding allergies or dietary needs. We are definitely going back for more fun and adventures.

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!

Really fun Resort !!!!

From the moment we arrived at Hamanasi, we knew we had made the right choice. We opted to drive from the airport, but the resort’s shuttle might have been a better option. While having a car gave us the freedom to explore, the shuttle would likely be sufficient for most guests. The resort offers exclusive excursions only for guests. We did an outside snorkeling and fishing tour, which felt private since it was just my fiancé and me, and also booked the resort’s sunset cruise, which was beautiful and highly recommended for couples. The grounds of Hamanasi are stunning and far exceed what photos online convey. The resort is immaculate, with every detail carefully thought out—from tree placement to hammocks to pathways. Everywhere you looked felt like it could be a framed photo. Even the beach hammocks are tucked into corners, offering privacy. The dock at night is a must-see. Green underwater lights attract fish and jellyfish, creating a mesmerizing display. Hammocks, tables, and chairs make it the perfect spot to relax. On clear nights, the stargazing is breathtaking, and during our last night, we watched the full moon rise—it was pure magic. Our room was at the end of the path, and the walk felt like a journey through a jungle, complete with bridges and wildlife. We loved the privacy and didn’t mind the walk to the main house. The grounds also feature a pond with fish, turtles, crocodiles, and iguanas. One important tip: bring bug spray and use it, or you’ll get eaten alive, especially in the evenings. The main building houses the bar, restaurant, and check-in. From the rooftop, you can watch the sunrise or sunset. The furniture stood out, crafted on-site by the resort’s carpentry team, which you can tour. Each wooden piece, from the bar top to chairs, was beautifully made and showed the team’s passion. We stayed in the deluxe treehouse, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The room had a double shower, king-sized bed, balcony with a hammock, and an outdoor spa tub. We truly mastered hammock lounging and even bought two from the gift shop. The staff were attentive, knowing our names from day one and greeting us warmly. However, their level of attention sometimes felt overbearing, almost as if they knew what we were doing at all times. The push to book tours was also a bit much, as staff would even come to our room to ask. The resort mostly attracts older, retired guests, which was fine for us since we weren’t looking for a loud atmosphere. By 9 p.m., it was quiet, but we enjoyed having the place to ourselves at night. Security guards were present, and we always felt safe. We did wish there was a restroom available at this time in the main building so we didn’t have to trek all the way back to our room. Walking along the beach, it was clear that other nearby resorts didn’t match Hamanasi’s beauty or exclusivity. The resort does an excellent job of keeping non-guests off the property. The food was decent but catered to Western tastes. We would have loved more authentic local flavors, as the dishes felt underwhelming. The waitstaff at the restaurant were a bit cold, but the bar staff were fantastic—friendly, accommodating, and happy to customize drinks to our tastes. Overall, Hamanasi was incredible, with a bit of a “White Lotus” vibe. We already miss it. It’s easy to imagine staying at the resort for an entire trip, though we also enjoyed exploring Hopkins. We’d absolutely recommend Hamanasi—it was so amazing that we felt like we got a bargain for the experience!

Our family of 5 couldn’t have been more blessed to have stayed here on our 1st trip to Belize. Everything was incredible from the food to the adventures to the culture and the staff, literally everything. Axel was an exceptional guide! Ems was a wonderful guide on the hikes as well! We have been to many places around the world with our children and this was one of the best trips we have ever experienced. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef was magical and the attention to detail of eco friendliness was next level. We can’t wait to come back!

Hamanasi provided the most amazing honeymoon experience from start to finish. The service is truly top-tier, the property is gorgeous, and the amazing experiences were unforgettable. Huge shout-outs to the incredible staff who went above and beyond: France and Densel who helped me regain the confidence to get back in the water and scuba diving! Mr. Bol was a wealth of fascinating information on Mayan culture and instantly made us feel at home. And thank you to Phil, Juan, and the bar team for keeping the great drinks flowing along with even better conversations and brain teasers. If you’re looking for paradise and world-class hospitality, Hamanasi is it. We can't wait to return!
