What Our Friends Say About Us
Wonderful resort. We picked this resort for our honeymoon and couldn't have been happier. Everything was clean and food was great. The staff was exceptional at every encounter. Very accommodating. We spent most of our time scuba diving and a few land excursions. The resort feels very private and is not crowded. We will be back. Hopefully many times.
The entire staff has been incredible- kind, thoughtful, and very personable. The waiters and bar tenders down to the tour guides all remember your name and greet you Everytime they see you. I definitely want to make this trip again!
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!
We absolutely love everything about Hamanasi. The rooms are lovely, ample in size, and the treehouse rooms are especially beautiful. Private, large, close to wildlife, and very special. The service is impeccable. Everyone is just lovely. And the Dive Shop is the most professional, impressive one we’ve ever seen. Our whole family dives, and we are return visitors. We loved our dive instructors. My wife and I got our Advanced PADI certification, and our daughters will do that on their next trip. We plan to return again!
I cannot say enough good things about this resort and will continue to recommend it to friends looking for a tropical paradise and exceptional scuba and snorkeling experience. This is our second visit and I did not think they could top our first trip, but they did. The grounds are impeccably maintained. The surrounding village is friendly and safe. The staff, from the front desk, to the maintenance crews, to the restaurant team, to the bartenders, to the housekeeping, to the adventure center planners, to the amazing guides, all perform their jobs beyond expectations. Their pride in their local heritage and eagerness in sharing their culture with any guests willing to learn about the Garifuna, Mayas, and Mestizo from on site guests, to special menu items added a fascinating and colorful element to a simple diving and hiking vacation. Once we planned our day trips, the staff took care of all the details so all we had to do was show up, even down to reminding us to preorder lunch on days we may have scheduled things a little tightly. I have to give a special shout out, however, to the incredibly professional dive crew. Our 12 year old was making her first "real" dives in the open ocean, rather than a dingy, cold harbor, and the crew made her experience one she will never forget. Rather than dismissing her as an easy to ignore quiet kid, they treated her with kindness and respect, remembering her name and making sure she was always excited about getting into the water without any fear. From loading the boat, to finding just the right spots given the sometimes unpredictable weather, to ensuring safety both in and out of the water, to their knowledge of the reefs and the various marine life and willingness to go above and beyond helping us locate various critters, to their help in hunting invasive lion fish, to their constant good humor and friendliness, to their care in ensuring we respected the fragile ecosystems and knew just when to swim up to avoid kicking the coral, to wrangling and maintaining of all of our gear with care before and after our excursions, they are true professionals who help Hamanasi deserve the "dive" in their title as an Adventure and Dive resort not just in name but in practice. I'm sure I am forgetting some names, but some real standouts from the boats are Brian, Evan, BJ, Elmer, Beaver, Valentine, and of course France who gets a special recognition for turning what could have been a rather anticlimactic last day of snorkeling in low visibility due to storms into a fascinating lecture on various marine life we never would have even noticed without his eagle eyes (the octopus was especially cool) and a great informational session on the harvesting and uses of coconuts. I would not have imagined that topic could be so interesting, even to a kid, but somehow he pulled it off making our last day on the coast one to remember! We will definitely be back! Perhaps once the kiddo has her advanced dive certification so we can finally tackle the famous Blue Hole!
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.
Our 15th wedding anniversary at Hamanasi Resort was pure magic! From the moment we arrived at the airport, we were treated to a world of luxury and tranquility. The resort's stunning natural beauty, coupled with impeccable service, made it an unforgettable experience. The staff at Hamanasi truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The personalized attention to detail was truly noticed and really made us feel right at home. We booked a Deluxe Treehouse, which is a private oasis surrounded by lush greenery, making it extremely private and remote from the main buildings of the resort. The spacious and well-appointed room provided the ultimate comfort and relaxation. For diving enthusiasts, Hamanasi is a dream come true. The experienced dive crew guided us through crystal-clear waters, revealing a vibrant underwater world filled with colorful coral reefs, diverse marine life, and thrilling encounters with fish, nurse sharks, moray eels, crabs, lion fish, manta rays, sea turtles, and jelly fish. This is definitely concierge diving, as they take care of everything for your diving needs. The crew will clean and store your gear in the drying room for future dives so you can truly enjoy your vacation. When it came time for dining options, the resort's talented chefs crafted exquisite meals we were treated to a new culinary adventure, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients and innovative flavors. As a part of the all-inclusive package, you get breakfast, lunch, and a 3-course dinner each day. The dinner menus are different each night to ensure you don’t have the same cuisine twice. There are also bar snacks and happy hour, as alcohol is not included but very reasonably priced. Hamanasi offers a wide range of exciting activities for every traveler. We explored ancient Mayan ruins, trekked through lush rainforests, canoed down a river, and soared through the canopy on a zipline tour. The resort's serene pool, private dock, and paddleboards provided the perfect opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation. Our stay at Hamanasi was one of the best vacations we have ever been on, and it is highly worth the price and all the planning that went into it. I highly recommend this paradise to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable getaway. We will definitely be back!
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.
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.
