What Our Friends Say About Us
Picture crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, palm trees swaying with a tropical breeze that surround a pristine resort providing infinite amenities for a perfect stay. This is Hamanasi. Every detail is thoughtfully considered from immaculate grounds, beautiful rooms, a peaceful pool overlooking the ocean, delicious food, and endless activities for the adventurous or relaxed traveler. Hamanasi is perfect for any traveler. We absolutely loved staying in a tree house and took advantage of many adventures. We loved our snorkeling trips and jungle hikes with knowledgeable, dedicated, fun guides. The staff at Hamanasi is just as warm and welcoming as it’s beautiful setting. We will definitely be back!
We are in our 70's, young feeling, but slower than others. The guides couldn't have been nicer or more patient, and knowledgeable on what they do. Thank you Mr Bol, Jason, John, Alec, and France. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, thank you. The ladies in the dining room remembered our names, were great at their jobs and it was hard to say good bye. The food was wonderful, by the way. Thank you Darnell for helping keep our activities straight. And bar staff, David and Juan. I wish I could remember everyone's name, so I could thank you also. This place is special. It's a place where you come and feel cared for. We'll be back 😁
Hamanasi Resort in Belize has been our favorite family vacation. My husband and I brought our 11 year old daughter. We wanted a location that was all-inclusive and had SCUBA diving as well as other activities for myself and our daughter, and Hamanasi turned out to exceed all our expectations. They transfer you from the Belize City airport to the resort. The lime fizz drinks they give you on arrival are spectacularly refreshing and our daughter has asked them to recreate them now that we are back in Texas. We stayed in a Deluxe Treehouse which has a master bedroom with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on for a vacation, a living room area with a couch that became a bed for our daughter (which she also said was incredibly comfortable), and a large bathroom with a 2 sided shower. There is also a large balcony with seating areas, hammock, and a hot tub. We stayed in number 30 which was WAY at the back of the property and completely secluded and surrounded by jungle. We loved it. The food at the resort was so freshly prepared and delicious. Our daughter is gluten-free and they were always ready with special muffins, dinner rolls, and cookies on excursions for her. I am vegetarian and there was a separate menu specifically with multiple vegetarian options. Not only did everything meet our dietary needs, but it also tasted delicious. The staff at the resort was amazing; they made you feel like you were family. David , Ector, and Nelson at the bar were spectacular. Areimy and Rina were some of our favorite wait staff in the restaurant. And Risa and Velma were so helpful at the front desk. We stayed 6 nights so got 4 excursions per person included. We did snorkeling, Cockscomb wildlife sanctuary, and Magical Maya History tour all together. My husband did 2 SCUBA diving trips (so 1 was additional) and my daughter and I did Jungle River canoeing and paid extra for Bocawina Ziplining. Additionally, we enjoyed paddle boarding, the pool, and the private garden tour at the resort. It is a relatively expensive vacation, but everything was taken care of, so felt well worth it. We enjoyed the escape from life (no TVs at the resort) and read and relaxed and spent time together. There is sufficient WIFI so still able to connect with the rest of the world. I highly recommend this resort and definitely plan to return!!!
We stayed in a tree house and thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff were fantastic helping us choose the best adventures and even helped plan something custom. Excellent food and drinks. It’s not a huge resort but so much to do and enjoy.
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!
Hamanasi is an incredible place. We met several return visitors during our stay and I can see why! The whole resort is beautiful, the staff are phenomenal and the excursions that they have available were amazing. We hope to be back soon!
Excellent experience! Service, room, food, wildlife, sealife, all amazing!
This place was an incredible experience. My wife and I went here for our honeymoon. We were there for 10 days. By the 2ne day, everyone at the resort knew our names. They had champagne in our room when we arrived and we're very accommodating. The scuba staff was super professional and helped open our eyes to the wonders of the ocean and the reef life. The dive masters had go pro's to help capture the amazing moments, as well as dive computers to help us stay safe. We had a blast and can't wait to come back!
This is the second time we have stayed at Hamanasi. This is an absolutely amazing resort that is small, intimate where everyone addresses you by name and you have the opportunity to meet others, but grand enough to offer so many amenities and activities. We cannot say enough about the first class service, location, food, staff, and eco-friendly and knowledgeable guides. I can’t imagine traveling to Belize and staying anywhere else!
