What Our Friends Say About Us
Hamanasi was the best trip I have ever taken with my niece. The staff, from booking to our final drive to the airport, were exceptional. While booking they were so helpful answering questions. Once we arrived in Belize they were outstanding! They provided a wealth of information and care in all of the activities we participated in and we solidly booked each and every day we were there. Our activities ranged from snorkeling and scuba lessons to visiting the Mayan ruins, horseback riding, canoeing down the river to our ultimate adventure of tubing through the cave system. No matter what request we made of the staff, they immediately and courteously helped us. They went out of their way to treat us as a valued family member. Our cave excursion was not part of our original adventures, but at the last minute, they were able to change our schedule to accommodate our request. The room was absolutely beautiful, we were particularly impressed with the furniture which is all crafted on Belize. We had a covered deck which had ocean views. Absolutely spectacular!!!! The meals served were exquisite in presentation and taste. We can't thank Hamansi staff for the best vacation we have had together! We look forward to returning in the future!
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!
Hamanasi Resort is our new FAVORITE place to stay at! There is no comparison of the service, food selection, and location for this resort. It is like "Cheers" where everyone knows your name. They remember what you like at the restaurant. The tour guides are experienced and knowledgeable and make every tour memorable! The resort ensures that all of your needs are met at every tour, whether it is pre-ordering breakfast for an early bird-watching tour, or keeping the kitchen open for a late Jaguar evening tour. The snorkeling is spectacular with nurse sharks, rays, and so many beautiful and color fish. I highly recommend this place for anyone who travels to Belize!!
Had a great time here celebrating my anniversary and attending a wedding. The staff was amazing in providing services and tending to requests. The different excursions were amazing (some through the resort and others arranged by the resort) from cave tubing, diving/snorkeling, fishing, hikes, etc. Highly recommend for relaxing getaway!
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.
To start, I must give a shout out to the fabulous, professional, warm dive crew at Hamanasi. France, Eric, Big Daddy and everyone else made us feel safe at all times while adding humor and adventure to our multiple dive experiences. We truly enjoyed spending hours with them on the boat and during our island breaks. They also gave us valuable diving tips after each excursion that helped us improve our skills. I am a new diver, and my experience with this crew makes me want to expand my certification and return to Hamanasi for more! The resort is simply magical. Everyone knew our names, asked about our daily adventures, made us laugh, and treated us like family. Our treehouse room was beyond beautiful. The restaurant food was spectacular, and the pool area was chill and serene. We especially enjoyed giving resident cat Mango daily scratches (he was most friendly when his food bowl needed a refill!). Although many guests get the full meal plan at the resort, I recommend you save some dinners for the fantastic Chef Rob’s Gourmet Cafe down the street (reserve his chef tasting dinner) and karaoke night at Ella’s in town (the food there is also fresh and delicious). And don’t forget to stop by Black Orchid Ice Cream in the afternoon after an excursion. A perfect vacation!
Hamanasi is a truly unique experience. If your vacation goal is to lounge on the beach soaking up the rays while a cabana boy caters to your every whim, this is not the place to visit. That is our usual go-to for tropical vacations, so the stay at Hamanasi caught us a bit off guard, but I absolutely do not regret the decision to spend our ten year anniversary here. Rather than sunbathing and relaxation, Hamanasi feels more geared toward getting out into the surrounding areas and encountering new and exciting adventures. The vast majority of the guests leave the property on a daily basis. Although there is an extensive menu of excursions to choose from, the majority of those are active/exercise-centric. For a couple of middle-aged, out-of-shape Northerners, this posed a challenge. Lord knows we need more exercise, and we did end up enjoying the experience, but it wasn't what we thought we had signed up for. What I've learned from this experience is that I need to pay more attention to the information on the website, and less time getting swept up in the beautiful photographs. If adventure and new experiences is what you're after in your tropical vacation, I absolutely 100% recommend Hamanasi Resort in Belize.
One thing that stands above when you stay at Hamanasi is the complete and total attention to detail when you're there. The grounds and buildings are pristine and meticulously maintained. The service team anticipates your every need and continually goes out of their way to make sure that nothing is overlooked. During our entire stay, our group kept commenting to one another what a special place Hamanasi is! We've all traveled extensively and this place is unique.
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.
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!
