Belize Hotel Named #1 Eco-Friendly Resort

TripAdvisor Unearths Top 10 Green Eco-mmodations

In the Spirit of Earth Day, we honor the Top 10 most Eco-Friendly hotels...

#1 Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort: Eco-Adventure: Set on 21 acres of coastal forest, this eco-resort's green practices ensurethat nothing goes to waste, from composting all vegetable and fruit scraps tousing old linens as cleaning rags. In addition, the resort's dive adventures educate guests to minimize the negative impact of human contact with the environment. According to one TripAdvisor traveler, "The fact that the resort advocated reusing towels, limiting sheet changing and using the surrounding natural beauty made us feel that we were contributing to the preservation of Belize."

Hamanasi Guest Lands the Elusive Permit!

Tom Evans, a recent Hamanasi guest, says,

"By the way, Lloyd is an excellent guide for this kind of fly fishing. I don’t use guides much, but have been fly fishing for going on 40yrs in the western US. And after reading a bit more about permit fishing and how hard it is, its even more obvious that Lloyd really knows his stuff. I also couldn’t believe how good he was at spotting fish. So if other seasoned fly fishers stay at your place, Lloyd is a great choice. "


Thanks for the photo, Tom!
