What Our Friends Say About Us
Amazing location and service. Staff treats you like family and there are so many offerings for adventures or just laying out and relaxing in a quiet environment. There are no TVs but there is WiFi.
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!
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!
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!
Picture crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, palm trees swaying with a tropical breeze that surround a pristine resort providing infinite amenities for a perfect stay. This is Hamanasi. Every detail is thoughtfully considered from immaculate grounds, beautiful rooms, a peaceful pool overlooking the ocean, delicious food, and endless activities for the adventurous or relaxed traveler. Hamanasi is perfect for any traveler. We absolutely loved staying in a tree house and took advantage of many adventures. We loved our snorkeling trips and jungle hikes with knowledgeable, dedicated, fun guides. The staff at Hamanasi is just as warm and welcoming as it’s beautiful setting. We will definitely be back!
I give Hamanasi my highest recommendation. We came for a week and booked the double room (separate room with two small beds for the kids) and got the adventure and food package. The adventure package included five expeditions and the food package covered all meals, excluding alcohol and specialty coffee drinks. I've never felt more welcome at a hotel - everywhere we went the stafr said hi and knew our names. The food was excellent and the kitchen is really accommodating and will make you anything so long as they have the ingredients. Special shout out to our guide BJ who we had the pleasure of being with for snorkeling, canoeing, and hiking. We almost never visit the same place twice but will return to Hamanasi in a few years.
I was in a party of nine that spent seven nights at Hamanasi in April. The members of our group spanned the ages of 55 to 14. This was our first visit to Belize and Hamanasi. We had an excellent time and hope to return in the near future. Aspects of our stay that stood out include the very high quality of the food, the exceptionally friendly and responsive staff, the variety of the land and reef adventures, and the very relaxing vibe of the resort. I also very much appreciated the very environmentally aspects of the resort. This resort will appeal to travelers who enjoy snorkeling, diving and active land-based adventures. Hamanasi managent, please don’t change a thing!
My wife and I are currently at a sub par resort talking about how Hamanasi was one of the best experiences of our lives. -The food was beyond exceptional. Every meal was special, and they served a pork caldo soup that 7 years later is still the best soup I have ever had in my life. - the excursions were all fun (not very strenuous) but let you see what the forests and the ocean had to offer. -the rooms were huge, bedding was exceptional and the views were great. Very easy access to the beach.
Had a great time here celebrating my anniversary and attending a wedding. The staff was amazing in providing services and tending to requests. The different excursions were amazing (some through the resort and others arranged by the resort) from cave tubing, diving/snorkeling, fishing, hikes, etc. Highly recommend for relaxing getaway!
