Hamanasi in the Community

At Hamanasi we want to be more than just the best resort in Belize - we strive to be stewards of the land for generations to come and to be a positive influence in the community of Hopkins village and in Belize as a whole. We hire 99% Belizeans and offer extensive training and opportunities for advancement, and many staff trained at Hamanasi go on to positions at other top resorts in Belize. Hamanasi is especially active in the community of Hopkins Village where we have a number of ongoing initiatives including donations of library books and a campaign to spay and neuter local dogs and cats. Read below about all of our work in the community - we always welcome both volunteers and donations - you can make a huge difference in this wonderful place - all while you stay in the Belize hotel of the Year.
