Spent five nights here in a deluxe tree house with daily breakfast. We signed up for the package with three adventures (chose scuba diving-2 tank dives) for each, but dropped most lunches and dinners. We had a car and enjoyed most dinners out. Too much to eat otherwise! From our arrival to departure (with special mention to Risa!) we had a fantastic time (even with the rain). The staff make an effort to learn your name (which can be unsettling if you aren’t used to it) and everyone was friendly and welcoming. Darnell and Tony in the Adventure Center got us sorted for our scuba days. On the boat Capt Neal, Garif, Dencil and Hatchet always made sure we were in good hands diving and were attentive, watchful and supportive. Good snacks during our surface interval (cookies and fruit, juice, etc) and fresh towels after each dive. Breakfast was substantial and delicious, with a different daily special. One day we had lunch and dinner and those meals were also delicious. Lorena, Juan, Gabe and Kisha took good care of us. Nice pool. Good library. Take the tour of the carpentry department with Selvin and be amazed at everything they make for the resort. Loved the 15-minute jet lag massage and also the resort’s resident cats. Afternoon or evening soaks in our private jacuzzi were decadent! Immaculate gardens. Tree houses are spotless. Ample umbrellas across the property if you get caught without one. Everything about our time here was fantastic!

We 10/10 recommend Hamanasi! We spent 6 days there with our family of 6, and everybody absolutely loved it. The rooms are amazing - we stayed in the treehouses, and it was so quiet and peaceful. The service is phenomenal, possibly some of the best we've experienced. Everybody was friendly and helpful without being overwhelming. We loved the location, far enough from the highly touristed areas but not too far. The food was excellent with a wide variety of options at each meal. The activities are well-planned and fitted to your interests. The property is gorgeous - the grounds are perfectly maintained, and we felt 100% safe the entire time. The ease of the reservation process and planning was excellent. We will definitely return!

My father and I decided to go on a vacation. I wanted something relaxing with being fully inclusive for us both. We went on a few tours, the Mayan Ruins was amazing. The guides were so informative and so friendly, what a beautiful place. We also went on a scuba dive and all of the guides were so happy to help. My father had a bit of a hard time, and the guide spent so much time with him to make sure he was comfortable. Every single person was so kind, they paid extreme attention to detail to everything we were doing, where we were going ect. And lastly, every employ knew our names, they always greeted us by name. It’s a wonderful place. Very beautiful. Food was amazing. And they take very good care of the property.

We had a great experience at Hamanasi. I’ve read through a lot of other reviews and agree with the positive comments about the rooms and the staff. I wanted to add some additional points that I think others may have missed. We were very happy with all the meals. My wife and I preferred not to eat in the restaurant for breakfast and wanted something lighter as well. The staff had no issue packing me a to-go container of fresh cut fruit and I grabbed some breads (muffins, johnny cakes, banana bread…) and coffee to take back to our treehouse. We thought the portions for dinner were good for a three-course meal. I always had room for dessert (the chef’s choice varied each day). I left full but not stuffed. I do want to point out that on our first night, they said if we wanted half-portions or up-sized servings that they would accommodate us. I don’t want those with big appetites to think they will be hungry. They also served bread of the day with dinner which varied daily. The other thing I want to emphasize is the small group sizes for the excursions. On one snorkel trip, our boat went out with eight people, and we split into groups of four with both groups having a dive master. On my second snorkel trip, it was threatening rain, so several guests dropped out. They still took the boat out with just two of us. For the land adventures, both of ours started at 8:00 am. This allowed us to avoid crowds and still have a big part of the day left for relaxing after we returned. For the Mayflower Waterfall Hike, we staggered two vans from Hamanasi. My group had seven people with two guides. We reached the top of the hike and had the swimming pool all to ourselves. For the Cave Tubing (this was extra), just my wife and I went. This was a destination that the cruise ships also hit, but we arrived and were the only people in the parking lot. We actually trekked into the caves to explore and swam through some caverns, so this was much more than a leisurely tube drifting through the caves, and most of it was done without anyone else around. Many of the guides and staff have worked for Hamanasi many years, so it feels like they treat their employees well and that is important to us.

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.

Great atmosphere for lunch, love the landscape.

This was a great place!! A shout out to the bar tenders, the grounds keepers, the house keepers, tour guides, cooking and restaurant staff and front of house! Everyone was very hospitable and very personable. Will definitely be coming back!

Third visit to Hamanasi, and not our last! It's a gem of a resort. From the entire staff, who call you by name, to the facilities and grounds, and food service, everything is excellent. We were very well taken care of. We will be back.

This resort feels like a much more luxurious experience than what we paid for it. Their commitment to sustainability and support to the local community is admirable. The small size feels intimate, and the very friendly staff takes care of every need. Hamanasi is the perfect blend of rainforest and ocean for those looking to stay at a single location. There were lots of great options for add on tours in addition to our package. The food was plentiful and delish. I loved the bartender creations. Guides were knowledgeable and safe. My room was so cute, and the hammock on the balcony was a nice touch. I felt very safe and pampered during my week here. Great for singles, couples, and families. 10/10, would stay again!

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!
