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

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.

We stayed at Hamanasi Adventure & Dive Resort about two years ago, and it’s still one of the most memorable travel experiences we’ve had. The level of service and attention to detail stood out immediately. Within the first day, the staff had learned our names, which created a welcoming and personal atmosphere that continued throughout the entire stay. I also have dietary restrictions and food allergies, and the team was incredibly accommodating. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared, and I never felt like I was an inconvenience, which made a huge difference in being able to fully relax and enjoy the trip. The setting itself is beautiful, lush, peaceful, and immersed in nature. It feels removed from the busy world in the best way, while still being comfortable and well organized. The excursions were exceptional and very well coordinated. We especially loved visiting the chocolate factory, canoeing, river cave floating, and our day trip to Tikal. Each experience felt authentic, safe, and professionally guided. The Tikal trip in particular was unforgettable and absolutely worth doing. What really makes Hamanasi special is the combination of stunning environment, thoughtful hospitality, and expertly planned adventures. Even two years later, we still talk about how wonderful the experience was. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Belize experience that combines relaxation, adventure, and genuine hospitality.

Hamanasi Resort is One of the Best Places to Visit

The staff and accommodations at Hamanasi are the best I have ever experienced. They were attentive, considerate, welcoming and make an effort to know and remember all our names (5 of us). They made us feel right at home. The location is beautiful and every aspect of the accommodations from the rooms to the food selections are superb. There is nothing that we would recommend changing. Also, all the excursions from scuba diving to night hikes and touring the Mayan temples were well organized and filled with information. We felt well cared for every step of the way. Finally, the communication before, during and after our trip was clear, prompt, responsive, and flexible to our specific needs. We will be back next year for an even longer stay and will become one of their regular repeat visitors.

Hamanasi was spectacular, offering casual luxury at an amazing location. My tree house room was awesome, offering everything I could want in a very quite setting set in a forest. The food was outstanding with a good selection of options at every meal. The pool is great with many lounging spots in the shade. The diving and snorkeling were second to none; and they offer some nice forest exploration outings as well. I liked the small size... nothing felt busy or crowded; the staff was friendly and attentive without hovering. They are very flexible and customer oriented, doing their best to give you a great experience even when what you want doesn't fit their standard offerings.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
