We had a good stay at Captain Morgan's Retreat. We stayed in a cabana room with a porch looking out on the water. Beautiful view. Super clean. Super nice staff, always with a smile. Cute little store on the property to pick up a few needs. It's north of town, so it's very quiet there. The food at the restaurant was good too.

The location and some of the staff are the only things you can say nice things about. Everything is very ran down, including the maintenance and other buildings on the property. There is construction trash disorganized all over the place. Elbow grease can go a long way, it would be nice if the owner felt it was important to pick up bottles and trash. They need to step back and walk around with the perspective of what a resort atmosphere should be. We heard the owner lives on site and apparently they do not care. Our bed was horrible, the oven did not work, it would only broil and you would have to flip the breaker to get it to turn off. The shower head had one jet that literally felt like a weapon and the jacuzzi tub was old and haggard. It's time for them to gut and replace everything. But the a/c worked great so that was nice. Overall the place does not look like the pictures. It needs a complete overhaul. We will not be staying at Captain Morgan's on our next visit.

I arrived at 7:30 PM and the front desk was closed, but the driver was excellent took great care of me made sure I got in the room OK and even convinced the people next-door at oceans to stay open long enough for me to get some takeout food. The Casita is perfect and the beach is wonderful I would strongly suggest Orbitz let customers know that the Front Desk here closes at 7 PM.

We had the most charming Villa. We were celebrating our 40th Anniversary. The staff made it so special. We returned to the villa with a surprise set up of towels swans, flower peddles and Champaign. We chose Captain Morgans because we were looking for a place to just enjoy the ocean view and relax. It did NOT disappoint. The resort offered everything you would need if you chose to spend your entire time there. We are looking forward to returning.

The rooms are nicer than the website photos. Had a good view of the pool and ocean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The property is currently being renovated so there was some noise but not to bad. We were charged a resort fee for booking thru Expedia. Housekeeping was lacking! They want you to place used toilet paper in a covered trash can because of the septic tank. No problem doing this except the trash can was rarely emptied. One time the sheets were changed and a double bed sheet was placed on the king bed. Fortunately we find another king size sheet and remade the bed. We requested some clean bath towels and when we came back to the room there were only 6 hand towels. It got better as the week wore on I would go back

All the staff from the reception area to the restaurant were very friendly. The main pool had construction going on but was beautiful to have breakfast at the pool. The other pool, which belongs to the adjacent resort on property was absolutely breathtaking. You could walk into the pool just as if you were from the shoreline to the ocean, which I loved. No steps to get in and out of the pool. My beach front cabana room was very comfortable and had all the necessities required, including a nice front patio

We loved our cabana! It was right on the ocean, authentic, clean, and had lots of room for the two of us. We loved the location, it close but not too close to the heart of the city so we had lots of things to do that were close but did not have to deal with the busy downtown. The only things we did not love were the beds (we found it hard) and the cost of the drinks and food at the resort. It was more expensive so we left all the time to eat and drink. One thing to be aware of in general is that no restaurants or coffee shops open unitl 8am so if you are an early riser ensure you have snacks and coffee in your room!

We had a beautiful view of the sea from our porch. The 1 bedroom suite was very spacious and comfortable. The beach was clean but we didn't realize it would have a sea wall and you could not enter the water easily plus it was rough water. There was construction next to the Captain Morgan pool and restaurant which made it a bit dirty and ugly. However, the breakfast deal was a great option at $65 per person for the entire week. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Great location. Work in progress.

The location is awesome. About 15-20 minutes away from the golf cart grid lock of San Pedro. About 5 minutes from the Truck Stop, and 20 minutes from Secret Beach. We should have gotten a cart for the duration of our stay. The property is in the midst of renovation. The staff is awesome. On the other hand, this is the first hotel in Belize where you have to buy, yes buy, your water. The room did not have a microwave. But Greg, who runs the restaurant will gladly reheat food for you.

Quiet But Basic Accomodations

The location is probably 4 miles from the town of San Pedro. The cabanas was nice and our location was right on the beach. You must rent a golf cart for your entire stay - to get to restaurants groceries, etc. They was a restaurant on site but the the service is miserably slow and attention to detail is nonexistent. If you like quiet accommodations and far from San Pedro this is your place. Not sure if the swimming pool is fit to swim but during our 5-day stay we only saw one guy swimming there. The room was clean but I would classify it as basic accommodations.

The resort is well developed. The interior is a bit antiquated but clean and functional. The resort has organized everything needed to travelers, ie.. golf cart rental (on property) WiFi passwords, on site restaurant and bar ( great food) , swimming pool and a/c unit that works great, transportation to and from the airport (additional fees) and an on site convenience store. A major plus that we didn’t realize until the end of our trip was that the resort operated on a super quiet generator. The island during our trip encountered multiple days and hours without electricity. At the resort we never were inconvenienced due to the loss of power in the area. We respectfully turned off our lights and a/c when we went out exploring the island and can’t imagine trying to sleep without a/c. The staff is friendly and treated us like royalty. This was our first stay at the resort and would stay there again without hesitation.
