The only reason I gave Hamanasi 5 stars is that 10 stars were not available! We were blown away by this resort! The staff consistently went out of their way to make us feel like answering our questions, or arranging our excursion was the most important thing they would do that day. The food was amazing - and the portions were incredible. (I got in the habit of ordering a child's portion and still couldn't eat it all!) We loved that Hamanasi provides its own guides for land/jungle tours and for SCUBA and snorkeling. We felt safe and assured that our guide(s) provided the best experience possible. We had the pleasure of staying in a deluxe treehouse. It was beautiful - tucked away in the canopy of the jungle, where we watched hummingbirds and coatimundis in the trees. We enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking or diving. I can't say enough about Hamanasi!!

Love the wildlife

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.

Beautiful resort with excellent service. It was a highly organized operation. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt very relaxed here and also was able to enjoy the adventures. I was particularly impressed with how the Hamanasi staff were able to accommodate dietary needs, with variety and great flavor! Vegan meals were not an afterthought. I would definitely come back and I don't normally like to go to the same place twice!

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.

Every single aspect of Hamanasi is absolutely top notch. The entire staff here provided the best service I have ever experienced. The snorkeling and dining are even better than we expected. We are already booking for next year!

Hamanasi provided the most amazing honeymoon experience from start to finish. The service is truly top-tier, the property is gorgeous, and the amazing experiences were unforgettable. Huge shout-outs to the incredible staff who went above and beyond: France and Densel who helped me regain the confidence to get back in the water and scuba diving! Mr. Bol was a wealth of fascinating information on Mayan culture and instantly made us feel at home. And thank you to Phil, Juan, and the bar team for keeping the great drinks flowing along with even better conversations and brain teasers. If you’re looking for paradise and world-class hospitality, Hamanasi is it. We can't wait to return!

The staff were exceptional! Even when Tropical Storm Sara rolled in and we couldn't leave, they were very helpful!!!!

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!
