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.

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!!!

Probably the best staff experience at a hotel I have ever had. The whole Hamanasi Team was amazing, super friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything, we had a great time!

Best vacation ever! Hamamasi Resort is fantastic. The staff is always happy and ready to assist you with whatever you need. The adventures are top notch and the guides are very knowledgeable about where you are and what you are seeing. The food is spectacular and the staff will work with you regarding allergies or dietary needs. We are definitely going back for more fun and adventures.

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!

Great place, amazing staff. Everyone knows you by name by day one. You go on amazing trips, and everything is well planned out with amazing information

Outstanding service, truly caring staff, flawless assistance, easy to participate in adventures. The reef for snorkeling is extensive, shallow and populated with spotted rays, nurse sharks, loggerhead turtles, corals, gorgonians, you name it. Food was excellent. The deluxe treehouse is beautifully appointed and provides a rich jungle wildlife and nature experience. Resort is ecologically sensitive: bamboo straws and zero single use plastic. Outstanding guided tours over extensive reefs shallow enough for easy snorkelling and populated by abundant sea creatures such as spotted rays, loggerhead turtles and purple seafans.

This was the perfect place to stay, we had so much fun. Hamanasi is incredibly accommodating and the staff are excellent. Being able to snorkel the reef was amazing. The views are out of this world and the resort itself was beautiful.

The Hamanasi is a beautiful hotel with amazing excursions, great rooms, and nice pool and beachfront. The first couple nights we stayed in a treehouse room. The room was very nice and enough room for our family of 5. Then halfway through our stay, we switched to the beachfront room. They were about the same size but the beachfront one was nice because it was right next to the pool. The breakfast was very good with lots of options and fresh food every day. We normally ordered lunch by the pool or packed it to go for our adventures. Love how the servers get to know you by name very quickly. You can tell they are trained well! Dinner was also delicious and the waiters were very kind. One of the best adventures to sign up for is the chocolate tour. First they take you to a cocoa farm and show you the first steps of making chocolate there. Then you go to the factory where you get to make your own chocolate. There is also a store downstairs where you can buy some of the organic chocolate that they make. the other excursions that we did were diving, ziplining, waterfall repelling, and fishing. The dive shop was very organized and easy even if you aren't a professional diver. The dive crew was amazing and we felt very safe while diving. The fishing was another amazing experience that we had at the Hamanasi. It was not through the hotel, but the adventure center gave us the recommendation. We caught at least 30 fish, including one barracuda. The hotel cooked the fish that we caught for dinner that night and it was delicious. The ziplining and waterfall repelling were another highlight of our stay. They were both at the same place about 45 minutes away from the hotel. Our family got a private van and driver to take us there and back. They were always so professional and knowledgeable, especially Mr. Field. For the ziplining, there is a short hike to get to the first line. They take you on 8 different ziplines over the rainforest with amazing views. I would recommend the ziplining for everyone. It felt very safe but it was also very fun. The waterfall repelling was a all day activity. It started with a steep hike to get to the waterfall. It started raining halfway through our hike, but we were going to get wet anyways so it was fine. At the top of the waterfall there was a natural pool that we could swim in. There was also a spot above the waterfall that you could jump off of. After swimming, we took family photos with a beautiful view in the background. Next came the waterfall repelling. The guides hooked you up to a rope and then sent you one at a time down the waterfall. It was very hard but extremely fun. We went down 2 sections of the waterfall, and then hiked back down. Another tour that we did was the wood shop and garden tour. At the wood shop tour, they showed us how all of the chairs, stools, and furniture were made for the hotel. The garden tour was very beautiful and it was nice to see how they use all of the fruits, vegetables, and herbs in the food that they serve. The pool and the beach area at the hotel are very nice. The only problem was the Sargassum sea grass. It piled up at the shore so we couldn't go swimming for most of the time. One of our favorite parts of the hotel was Mango the cat. She always sat right outside the main building and loved to be pet. Overall the Hamanasi exceeded our expectations and was a great choice to stay in Belize.
