What Our Friends Say About Us
Overall Rating
Our new favorite resort!
We’ve been to Hamanasi twice. The first time was truly a magical experience that left us wanting to return in the near future. As we prepared for our second visit, we were hopeful that our first experience had not been a fluke nor that we had romanticized the experience. We can definitely confirm that the experience was not a fluke or romanticized. It truly is a magical experience. The rooms are spacious with lots of natural light and so much attention to detail. The beds are the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in away from home. In fact, they are so comfortable that we reached out to guest services and found out the brand so we could purchase one for ourselves. Further, as Hamanasi prides itself on environmental sustainability, it was such a pleasant surprise to learn that the beds they use are all made from organic materials! The views are spectacular. We’ve stayed in rooms 2 and 9, both upstairs on the beachfront. To wake up in the morning, step outside on the balcony, which has chairs and a swing, and see, hear, and feel the sea, is breathtaking. The rooms are cleaned daily and there is a turn down service in the evenings. The resort is incredibly quiet, apart from children in the pool, but they’re enjoying themselves and that is fantastic. The grounds are always kept immaculate. We see grounds keeping sweeping and raking the sand every morning to remove fallen leaves and tracks. The pool is cleaned every night as well. You can walk the grounds and be surrounded by towering palms, ferns, and all manner of vegetation. There are numerous coatimundi, agouti, pelicans, birds, and there is a pond that houses crocodiles. The service personnel are extremely friendly and ready to provide you with information, guidance, and cater to your needs with a genuine smile and friendliness. The onsite restaurant is amazing. The food is cooked to order and we’ve had some of the finest meals at this restaurant. From steaks, fish, chicken, vegetarian, there is always something available for any diet. If you need something, you simply ask. They also take your food allergies seriously and confirm your allergies during your first meal to ensure accuracy. Apart from the quality and quantity of the food, the service is beyond measure. Servers know you by name, remember previous conversations, are always quick to engage in conversation if you initiate it, provide attention to detail, and are very friendly. They have so many excursions, we wished we had the time to do them all. We’ve gone snorkeling, bird watching, canoeing, and visited Mayan ruins. Each and every time we went on an excursion, we felt that it wasn’t just an experience but an opportunity to learn. Every guide is so thoroughly knowledgeable about the experience that definitely felt like we learned so much. From the guided snorkeling, yes, a guide directed our snorkeling group where he dove down, pointed at things (fish, sharks, rays, corral) and then surfaced to tell us what we were looking at, to the Mayan ruins tour where our guide, Mayan by ancestry, wove the history with compelling discourse. Sensational experiences. The resort is located near the community of Hopkins, about 2 hours from the airport in Belize City. We ventured into the community on several occasions and found the residents to be friendly and willing to answer questions. There are several grocery stores, numerous restaurants (we highly recommend Ella’s if you’re in town and get hungry), and many opportunities for other excursions such as deep sea fishing. We are already planning our next visit!
Excellent experience! Service, room, food, wildlife, sealife, all amazing!
Had a great time here celebrating my anniversary and attending a wedding. The staff was amazing in providing services and tending to requests. The different excursions were amazing (some through the resort and others arranged by the resort) from cave tubing, diving/snorkeling, fishing, hikes, etc. Highly recommend for relaxing getaway!
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.
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.
My wife and I are currently at a sub par resort talking about how Hamanasi was one of the best experiences of our lives. -The food was beyond exceptional. Every meal was special, and they served a pork caldo soup that 7 years later is still the best soup I have ever had in my life. - the excursions were all fun (not very strenuous) but let you see what the forests and the ocean had to offer. -the rooms were huge, bedding was exceptional and the views were great. Very easy access to the beach.
Incredible experience at Hamansi! The service was above and beyond. Every restaurant and bar staff was welcoming and kind. The tour guides were VERY knowledgeable and made each tour a truly magical experience. The food was fantastic as were the drinks- both very fresh. This is my favorite hotel I have ever stayed at.
Can't begin to describe how amazing this resort is. The location, the staff, the rooms, the restaurant are all as perfect as they could be. Plenty of everything - kayaks, paddle boards, lounge chairs at the pool or on the beach, hammocks, etc etc - we never waited for anything. The staff know your name and quickly learn your preferences and then anticipate your needs. And most impressive is that they are all so genuine and sincere in their desire to make your stay the best experience. There is plenty to keep you busy, or you can just relax and do nothing. They exceeded every expectation. We are going back!!
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!!
Absolutely fantastic stay. Great location (albeit isolated), right on the beach, with lots of space to relax without crowds. The staff is amazing: At every turn they greet you by name and are engaging without overstepping. Quite a balancing act! To know: Rooms do not have blackout shades The jungle is noises so bring a white noise machine The service charge is not a substitute for tips. I wish they had been more clear about this. I asked several times and didn’t get a clear answer until we were on site. Highlights: Tours were all amazing. Guides wonderful. We did the canoeing, mayflower waterfall hike, and the cave and jungle. All our guides were great. Room was GORGEOUS Tons of wildlife right outside our room Food was fantastic Others have noted great wine list. I disagree. But it was reasonable. Could not have been any happier. FYI we were there as a family of four in a deluxe tree house with an 18 and 20 year old kids.
