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!

Amazing location and service. Staff treats you like family and there are so many offerings for adventures or just laying out and relaxing in a quiet environment. There are no TVs but there is WiFi.

As so many others have stated, Hamanasi is in a class all its own. We spent 8 nights in a beachfront plus room, which gave us exceptional comfort for our family of 4 (we have two boys, ages 9 and almost 11). We booked a Reef and Rainforest package, and were absolutely blown away with our experience. We felt so well cared for during our stay, on so many levels. The grounds are impeccable. Hamanasi has preserved much of the native tree canopy, which not only provides a beautiful backdrop for the resort but also provides homes for many species of birds as well as a sizeable troop of Coatis, which are fun to watch. The grounds crew rakes the property each morning, a level of care that is just astounding. The restaurant on site provides great options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the menu proved to be varied and delicious throughout our stay. For excursions that included meals, the coordination and attention to detail was very impressive, and the meals themselves were tasty. The guide staff was truly the highlight, though. We did snorkeling, birding, canoeing, toured Mayan sites, cave tubing, and did a night hike through the jungle. All of them were super fun, and we felt the enthusiasm of the guides on all of them. I'm a bird nerd, and was able to capture 72 species of birds on our one day birding and around the property. I could go on at length, but suffice it to say that we had an amazing experience that did not disappoint. Kudos to the entire staff, and we hope to visit again.

Truly one of the best lodges and experiences I've had in 60+ years of world travel. Superb setting, amazing attention to every detail from all of the staff, incredible food for all diets. I have NO Reservations about a recommendation. Worth every penny and more.

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.

Incredibly beautiful location, friendliest staff and guides I've ever met who truly make every experience wonderful. The attention to detail is remarkable as well as all of the food and adventures offered. Best snorkelling I've ever done in my life. Truly a paradise!

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.

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!!!

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.
