Hamanasi is an incredible place. We met several return visitors during our stay and I can see why! The whole resort is beautiful, the staff are phenomenal and the excursions that they have available were amazing. We hope to be back soon!

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.

Love the wildlife

Exceeded all of our expectations. Gorgeous property, warm and friendly staff, knowledgeable tour guides, great food, no crowds, nice beach and great activities to book, or not, both jungle and reef.

I cannot say enough good things about this resort and will continue to recommend it to friends looking for a tropical paradise and exceptional scuba and snorkeling experience. This is our second visit and I did not think they could top our first trip, but they did. The grounds are impeccably maintained. The surrounding village is friendly and safe. The staff, from the front desk, to the maintenance crews, to the restaurant team, to the bartenders, to the housekeeping, to the adventure center planners, to the amazing guides, all perform their jobs beyond expectations. Their pride in their local heritage and eagerness in sharing their culture with any guests willing to learn about the Garifuna, Mayas, and Mestizo from on site guests, to special menu items added a fascinating and colorful element to a simple diving and hiking vacation. Once we planned our day trips, the staff took care of all the details so all we had to do was show up, even down to reminding us to preorder lunch on days we may have scheduled things a little tightly. I have to give a special shout out, however, to the incredibly professional dive crew. Our 12 year old was making her first "real" dives in the open ocean, rather than a dingy, cold harbor, and the crew made her experience one she will never forget. Rather than dismissing her as an easy to ignore quiet kid, they treated her with kindness and respect, remembering her name and making sure she was always excited about getting into the water without any fear. From loading the boat, to finding just the right spots given the sometimes unpredictable weather, to ensuring safety both in and out of the water, to their knowledge of the reefs and the various marine life and willingness to go above and beyond helping us locate various critters, to their help in hunting invasive lion fish, to their constant good humor and friendliness, to their care in ensuring we respected the fragile ecosystems and knew just when to swim up to avoid kicking the coral, to wrangling and maintaining of all of our gear with care before and after our excursions, they are true professionals who help Hamanasi deserve the "dive" in their title as an Adventure and Dive resort not just in name but in practice. I'm sure I am forgetting some names, but some real standouts from the boats are Brian, Evan, BJ, Elmer, Beaver, Valentine, and of course France who gets a special recognition for turning what could have been a rather anticlimactic last day of snorkeling in low visibility due to storms into a fascinating lecture on various marine life we never would have even noticed without his eagle eyes (the octopus was especially cool) and a great informational session on the harvesting and uses of coconuts. I would not have imagined that topic could be so interesting, even to a kid, but somehow he pulled it off making our last day on the coast one to remember! We will definitely be back! Perhaps once the kiddo has her advanced dive certification so we can finally tackle the famous Blue Hole!

Hamanasi is a truly unique experience. If your vacation goal is to lounge on the beach soaking up the rays while a cabana boy caters to your every whim, this is not the place to visit. That is our usual go-to for tropical vacations, so the stay at Hamanasi caught us a bit off guard, but I absolutely do not regret the decision to spend our ten year anniversary here. Rather than sunbathing and relaxation, Hamanasi feels more geared toward getting out into the surrounding areas and encountering new and exciting adventures. The vast majority of the guests leave the property on a daily basis. Although there is an extensive menu of excursions to choose from, the majority of those are active/exercise-centric. For a couple of middle-aged, out-of-shape Northerners, this posed a challenge. Lord knows we need more exercise, and we did end up enjoying the experience, but it wasn't what we thought we had signed up for. What I've learned from this experience is that I need to pay more attention to the information on the website, and less time getting swept up in the beautiful photographs. If adventure and new experiences is what you're after in your tropical vacation, I absolutely 100% recommend Hamanasi Resort in Belize.

Wonderful resort. We picked this resort for our honeymoon and couldn't have been happier. Everything was clean and food was great. The staff was exceptional at every encounter. Very accommodating. We spent most of our time scuba diving and a few land excursions. The resort feels very private and is not crowded. We will be back. Hopefully many times.

We are in our 70's, young feeling, but slower than others. The guides couldn't have been nicer or more patient, and knowledgeable on what they do. Thank you Mr Bol, Jason, John, Alec, and France. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, thank you. The ladies in the dining room remembered our names, were great at their jobs and it was hard to say good bye. The food was wonderful, by the way. Thank you Darnell for helping keep our activities straight. And bar staff, David and Juan. I wish I could remember everyone's name, so I could thank you also. This place is special. It's a place where you come and feel cared for. We'll be back 😁

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!

This was the perfect place to stay, we had so much fun. Hamanasi is incredibly accommodating and the staff are excellent. Being able to snorkel the reef was amazing. The views are out of this world and the resort itself was beautiful.
