Everything surpassed our expectations. We came here as new diver because we wanted an operation we could trust and we found that here.

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

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 😁

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!!

We just got back from this lovely resort. Everything was wonderful! The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay fabulous. The food was great - you can ask for anything and they will try to accommodate any special requests. Excisions were amazing. All in all this is an incredible resort and we’d highly recommend it.

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.

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.

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!

We stayed at Hamanasi Adventure & Dive Resort about two years ago, and it’s still one of the most memorable travel experiences we’ve had. The level of service and attention to detail stood out immediately. Within the first day, the staff had learned our names, which created a welcoming and personal atmosphere that continued throughout the entire stay. I also have dietary restrictions and food allergies, and the team was incredibly accommodating. Every meal felt thoughtfully prepared, and I never felt like I was an inconvenience, which made a huge difference in being able to fully relax and enjoy the trip. The setting itself is beautiful, lush, peaceful, and immersed in nature. It feels removed from the busy world in the best way, while still being comfortable and well organized. The excursions were exceptional and very well coordinated. We especially loved visiting the chocolate factory, canoeing, river cave floating, and our day trip to Tikal. Each experience felt authentic, safe, and professionally guided. The Tikal trip in particular was unforgettable and absolutely worth doing. What really makes Hamanasi special is the combination of stunning environment, thoughtful hospitality, and expertly planned adventures. Even two years later, we still talk about how wonderful the experience was. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Belize experience that combines relaxation, adventure, and genuine hospitality.
