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

Congratulations! You can stop you resort search now. Our stay at Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything from the lush, intimate grounds to the warm, attentive staff set the tone for an unforgettable experience in Belize. This resort is perfect for travelers who want real adventure paired with genuine downtime. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the food was consistently excellent, and the overall vibe struck that rare balance of laid-back luxury and authentic local charm. We packed our days with experiences like the jungle canoe, Mayflower waterfall hike, snorkeling, and the Mayan tour, each led by incredibly knowledgeable guides who stayed with us the entire time, sharing history, answering questions, and making sure everything ran smoothly. You never feel rushed or herded; it’s thoughtful, personal, and well-run. One of the best surprises was how small and quaint the resort feels. You truly get to know the staff (they greet you by name every time you walk into a room) and even connect with other guests in a relaxed, social way. The pier became our favorite hangout—lounging in hammocks, spotting manatees, and watching the sunrise over the water was pure magic. A quick note for planning: this is not a resort I’d recommend for families with young kids. There isn’t much for them to do, and at times it can disrupt the otherwise serene, adventure-focused atmosphere that most guests are there for. All in all, Hamanasi is a 10/10. If you’re looking for a place that delivers unforgettable adventures, incredible service, and a peaceful, authentic setting you won’t find better. I couldn’t recommend it more.

What a hidden gem! We stayed with them this July and it was a fantastic experience. The location is central enough that you have access to the town but set up in a way with lush trees and vegetation that you feel like you are on a private island. This place is CLEAN. It looks brand new in most regards and the staff takes great care to keep it looking pristine. All of the staff are friendly, and take the time to learn your name. The service is exceptional. We did the snorkeling tour they offer and our main guide was Brian. It was our first time and he was so patient with us- truly kind and helped ease our fears. All of the guides there offer such a kind and authentic experience. Good people, good food, clean rooms. The bartenders are also great and personable and added to the experience.

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.

The whole place is beautiful and the staff were amazing! They call you by name and remember your name the entire time you're there. They really make you feel like family or a good friend, which I feel like we became. The tours & scuba dive were great as well.

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.

I was in a party of nine that spent seven nights at Hamanasi in April. The members of our group spanned the ages of 55 to 14. This was our first visit to Belize and Hamanasi. We had an excellent time and hope to return in the near future. Aspects of our stay that stood out include the very high quality of the food, the exceptionally friendly and responsive staff, the variety of the land and reef adventures, and the very relaxing vibe of the resort. I also very much appreciated the very environmentally aspects of the resort. This resort will appeal to travelers who enjoy snorkeling, diving and active land-based adventures. Hamanasi managent, please don’t change a thing!

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!
