Nice rooms and staff. Great restaurant near by and walking path along the water. And easy walk to the big nice museum. Nice patio to enjoy the birds and ocean breeze. Big hotel across the street under construction but noise is over by 6 pm. Our 4th time staying here and we will be back the next time we visit Belize.

This hotel maintains the quaint character and decor of the area before big tourism came to Belize. Air conditioning was great - not too cold. Nice pool area nestled away from the bustle in the front of the building.

We stayed twice during our visit to Belize, as book-ends, in order to coordinate our flights. The staff was wonderful, the room was very nice, the grounds were clean, as well as the lovely pool area. The room was clean. The only complaint is that the restaurant was a bit less than we expected. It was fine, but the selections were a bit limited.

We did not expect to be able to check in several hours early, but our room was just about ready, which we were so glad of! The room was exquisitely clean and the A/C was magically cool. I enjoyed the porch swing, the poolside beer, and the attentive service over my delicious breakfast the next morning. The complimentary bottle of Marie Sharp's hot sauce was a wonderful touch!
