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.

The only reason I gave Hamanasi 5 stars is that 10 stars were not available! We were blown away by this resort! The staff consistently went out of their way to make us feel like answering our questions, or arranging our excursion was the most important thing they would do that day. The food was amazing - and the portions were incredible. (I got in the habit of ordering a child's portion and still couldn't eat it all!) We loved that Hamanasi provides its own guides for land/jungle tours and for SCUBA and snorkeling. We felt safe and assured that our guide(s) provided the best experience possible. We had the pleasure of staying in a deluxe treehouse. It was beautiful - tucked away in the canopy of the jungle, where we watched hummingbirds and coatimundis in the trees. We enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking or diving. I can't say enough about Hamanasi!!

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!

What a hidden gem! We stayed with them this July and it was a fantastic experience. The location is central enough that you have access to the town but set up in a way with lush trees and vegetation that you feel like you are on a private island. This place is CLEAN. It looks brand new in most regards and the staff takes great care to keep it looking pristine. All of the staff are friendly, and take the time to learn your name. The service is exceptional. We did the snorkeling tour they offer and our main guide was Brian. It was our first time and he was so patient with us- truly kind and helped ease our fears. All of the guides there offer such a kind and authentic experience. Good people, good food, clean rooms. The bartenders are also great and personable and added to the experience.

This is the second time we have stayed at Hamanasi. This is an absolutely amazing resort that is small, intimate where everyone addresses you by name and you have the opportunity to meet others, but grand enough to offer so many amenities and activities. We cannot say enough about the first class service, location, food, staff, and eco-friendly and knowledgeable guides. I can’t imagine traveling to Belize and staying anywhere else!

This is a special resort. The entire property is beautiful with all the details attended to. The level of service exceeds any 5 star hotel or restaurant. It honestly was like what you see in the movies. All the activities, including scuba diving, were exceptional as well. Highly recommend.

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.

Beautiful resort with excellent service. It was a highly organized operation. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt very relaxed here and also was able to enjoy the adventures. I was particularly impressed with how the Hamanasi staff were able to accommodate dietary needs, with variety and great flavor! Vegan meals were not an afterthought. I would definitely come back and I don't normally like to go to the same place twice!
