What Our Friends Say About Us
Overall Rating
Best spring break ever!
Hamanasi is a spectacular hotel. The grounds are gorgeous and meticulously maintained, the accommodations are comfortable, the food is delicious, the staff are unfailingly kind and attentive. The included adventures (and the extra-cost ones) make Hamanasi very special. We loved snorkeling, cave tubing, and taking a cooking class in the village of Hopkins. It was a very special week for our family. Highly recommend!
Our new favorite resort!
We’ve been to Hamanasi twice. The first time was truly a magical experience that left us wanting to return in the near future. As we prepared for our second visit, we were hopeful that our first experience had not been a fluke nor that we had romanticized the experience. We can definitely confirm that the experience was not a fluke or romanticized. It truly is a magical experience. The rooms are spacious with lots of natural light and so much attention to detail. The beds are the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in away from home. In fact, they are so comfortable that we reached out to guest services and found out the brand so we could purchase one for ourselves. Further, as Hamanasi prides itself on environmental sustainability, it was such a pleasant surprise to learn that the beds they use are all made from organic materials! The views are spectacular. We’ve stayed in rooms 2 and 9, both upstairs on the beachfront. To wake up in the morning, step outside on the balcony, which has chairs and a swing, and see, hear, and feel the sea, is breathtaking. The rooms are cleaned daily and there is a turn down service in the evenings. The resort is incredibly quiet, apart from children in the pool, but they’re enjoying themselves and that is fantastic. The grounds are always kept immaculate. We see grounds keeping sweeping and raking the sand every morning to remove fallen leaves and tracks. The pool is cleaned every night as well. You can walk the grounds and be surrounded by towering palms, ferns, and all manner of vegetation. There are numerous coatimundi, agouti, pelicans, birds, and there is a pond that houses crocodiles. The service personnel are extremely friendly and ready to provide you with information, guidance, and cater to your needs with a genuine smile and friendliness. The onsite restaurant is amazing. The food is cooked to order and we’ve had some of the finest meals at this restaurant. From steaks, fish, chicken, vegetarian, there is always something available for any diet. If you need something, you simply ask. They also take your food allergies seriously and confirm your allergies during your first meal to ensure accuracy. Apart from the quality and quantity of the food, the service is beyond measure. Servers know you by name, remember previous conversations, are always quick to engage in conversation if you initiate it, provide attention to detail, and are very friendly. They have so many excursions, we wished we had the time to do them all. We’ve gone snorkeling, bird watching, canoeing, and visited Mayan ruins. Each and every time we went on an excursion, we felt that it wasn’t just an experience but an opportunity to learn. Every guide is so thoroughly knowledgeable about the experience that definitely felt like we learned so much. From the guided snorkeling, yes, a guide directed our snorkeling group where he dove down, pointed at things (fish, sharks, rays, corral) and then surfaced to tell us what we were looking at, to the Mayan ruins tour where our guide, Mayan by ancestry, wove the history with compelling discourse. Sensational experiences. The resort is located near the community of Hopkins, about 2 hours from the airport in Belize City. We ventured into the community on several occasions and found the residents to be friendly and willing to answer questions. There are several grocery stores, numerous restaurants (we highly recommend Ella’s if you’re in town and get hungry), and many opportunities for other excursions such as deep sea fishing. We are already planning our next visit!
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!
Lovely resort on the beach in Hopkins
Absolutely fantastic stay. Great location (albeit isolated), right on the beach, with lots of space to relax without crowds. The staff is amazing: At every turn they greet you by name and are engaging without overstepping. Quite a balancing act! To know: Rooms do not have blackout shades The jungle is noises so bring a white noise machine The service charge is not a substitute for tips. I wish they had been more clear about this. I asked several times and didn’t get a clear answer until we were on site. Highlights: Tours were all amazing. Guides wonderful. We did the canoeing, mayflower waterfall hike, and the cave and jungle. All our guides were great. Room was GORGEOUS Tons of wildlife right outside our room Food was fantastic Others have noted great wine list. I disagree. But it was reasonable. Could not have been any happier. FYI we were there as a family of four in a deluxe tree house with an 18 and 20 year old kids.
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!
Our family of 5 couldn’t have been more blessed to have stayed here on our 1st trip to Belize. Everything was incredible from the food to the adventures to the culture and the staff, literally everything. Axel was an exceptional guide! Ems was a wonderful guide on the hikes as well! We have been to many places around the world with our children and this was one of the best trips we have ever experienced. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef was magical and the attention to detail of eco friendliness was next level. We can’t wait to come back!
Went for a wonderful happy hour....such great service and a beautiful resort!
Can't begin to describe how amazing this resort is. The location, the staff, the rooms, the restaurant are all as perfect as they could be. Plenty of everything - kayaks, paddle boards, lounge chairs at the pool or on the beach, hammocks, etc etc - we never waited for anything. The staff know your name and quickly learn your preferences and then anticipate your needs. And most impressive is that they are all so genuine and sincere in their desire to make your stay the best experience. There is plenty to keep you busy, or you can just relax and do nothing. They exceeded every expectation. We are going back!!
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!
