Everything surpassed our expectations. We came here as new diver because we wanted an operation we could trust and we found that here.

Hamanasi helped introduce my family to the Garifuna & Maya people of Belize. Everything is so close – the mountains, caves, waterfalls, animals, ruins – this is such a peaceful country with rich culture and a people that cares about the environment. What a hidden gem! Thank you!

Michael, Menlo Park, CA

This is one of the most wonderful places I have ever stayed. I honestly cannot think of anything to suggest. Many resorts claim to be Eco-friendly but most do a poor job at it. You really live it and it is very refreshing. Excellent effort. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable week.

Sandy, Underville, VT

Doing a wonderful job, we love Hamanasi and the staff. Made us feel like part of the Hamanasi family.

Kim and Jacob, Seattle, WA

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!!

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!

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!

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.

One thing that stands above when you stay at Hamanasi is the complete and total attention to detail when you're there. The grounds and buildings are pristine and meticulously maintained. The service team anticipates your every need and continually goes out of their way to make sure that nothing is overlooked. During our entire stay, our group kept commenting to one another what a special place Hamanasi is! We've all traveled extensively and this place is unique.

My father and I decided to go on a vacation. I wanted something relaxing with being fully inclusive for us both. We went on a few tours, the Mayan Ruins was amazing. The guides were so informative and so friendly, what a beautiful place. We also went on a scuba dive and all of the guides were so happy to help. My father had a bit of a hard time, and the guide spent so much time with him to make sure he was comfortable. Every single person was so kind, they paid extreme attention to detail to everything we were doing, where we were going ect. And lastly, every employ knew our names, they always greeted us by name. It’s a wonderful place. Very beautiful. Food was amazing. And they take very good care of the property.
