What Our Friends Say About Us
My family had an amazing experience during our week here! The food was delicious and kept my 2 teenaged boys happy. There were plenty of adventures to choose from to keep everyone engaged. The amenities on the property offer something for everyone, and the rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The location is breathtaking. What sets Hamanasi apart is the STAFF!! Smiles and incredible service are the norm. If you are looking for an easy vacation with something for everyone, you can’t go wrong with planning a trip here.
Our entire experience at Hamanasi was incredible! All the staff, from the restaurant to the front desk to the adventure center to the excursions and everyone else, are wonderful, friendly, and go above and beyond to make the stay perfect. Everything is well organized, the adventures are fun, the rooms are beautiful, the food is delicious, and the grounds are well kept! We had the best time and highly recommend Hamanasi!!
This resort was amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and comfortable. The ground are gorgeous. The food is so flavorful and portioned so that you never feel overfull. The extrusion ( called adventures) are fun and interesting. And the diving they take you on was amazing. I highly recommend this resort.
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.
A blissful week in Belize. Although the weather wasn’t the best, we had such a great visit to Belize and Hamanasi. Staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. EVERYONE made an effort to learn our names and preferences. The dining was very good with a menu that changes daily. (Don’t miss the ceviche of the day). The adventures were very interesting with great driver/guides. Wow! We did a day trip to two different Mayan ruins, caving, and bird/nature canoe, a waterfall hike and swim and snorkeling. Lastly from the logistics perspective, they met us at the airport and returned us to the airport. They ran the trips with their own staff and guides - terrific!!!
Congratulations! You can stop you resort search now. Our stay at Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything from the lush, intimate grounds to the warm, attentive staff set the tone for an unforgettable experience in Belize. This resort is perfect for travelers who want real adventure paired with genuine downtime. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the food was consistently excellent, and the overall vibe struck that rare balance of laid-back luxury and authentic local charm. We packed our days with experiences like the jungle canoe, Mayflower waterfall hike, snorkeling, and the Mayan tour, each led by incredibly knowledgeable guides who stayed with us the entire time, sharing history, answering questions, and making sure everything ran smoothly. You never feel rushed or herded; it’s thoughtful, personal, and well-run. One of the best surprises was how small and quaint the resort feels. You truly get to know the staff (they greet you by name every time you walk into a room) and even connect with other guests in a relaxed, social way. The pier became our favorite hangout—lounging in hammocks, spotting manatees, and watching the sunrise over the water was pure magic. A quick note for planning: this is not a resort I’d recommend for families with young kids. There isn’t much for them to do, and at times it can disrupt the otherwise serene, adventure-focused atmosphere that most guests are there for. All in all, Hamanasi is a 10/10. If you’re looking for a place that delivers unforgettable adventures, incredible service, and a peaceful, authentic setting you won’t find better. I couldn’t recommend it more.
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.
What a hidden gem! We stayed with them this July and it was a fantastic experience. The location is central enough that you have access to the town but set up in a way with lush trees and vegetation that you feel like you are on a private island. This place is CLEAN. It looks brand new in most regards and the staff takes great care to keep it looking pristine. All of the staff are friendly, and take the time to learn your name. The service is exceptional. We did the snorkeling tour they offer and our main guide was Brian. It was our first time and he was so patient with us- truly kind and helped ease our fears. All of the guides there offer such a kind and authentic experience. Good people, good food, clean rooms. The bartenders are also great and personable and added to the experience.
Best spring break ever!
Hamanasi is a spectacular hotel. The grounds are gorgeous and meticulously maintained, the accommodations are comfortable, the food is delicious, the staff are unfailingly kind and attentive. The included adventures (and the extra-cost ones) make Hamanasi very special. We loved snorkeling, cave tubing, and taking a cooking class in the village of Hopkins. It was a very special week for our family. Highly recommend!
