“A Perfect Vacation”
The hotel was absolutely perfect. When we arrived our room was updated without additional cost to the upper level condo. Maryann and the other staff were so accomodating. The local water taxi Tuff E Nuff personnel were great also. We liked the fact that it was far enough away from the town and very quiet, yet close enough to easily take the water taxi which ran very often.
“A great island adventure”
Great staff, fun bartender's, excellent location.
“A very nice resort”
From the moment we arrived till the moment we left, we found the staff to be extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. We were fortunate in getting an oceanfront room that was clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished. Being oceanfront, we constantly had a nice breeze making it comfortable to sit on the front porch. I'll note that this was not the case with some of the units located farther back from the beach, where the lack of breeze made it uncomfortable to sit on the porch due to the heat and mosquitos. Great swimming pool with a nice swim-up bar. The on-site restuarant was OK, but the menu is rather bland compared to others nearby. The complimentary kayaks made it easy to get out to the reef for good snorkeling. Note that the primary modes of transportation on the Caye are via boats, walking, bikes, or golf carts. The limited road system on the island is dirt and in poor condition. Water taxi service is good, convenient, and reasonably priced. We rented a golf cart for the week through the hotel and had a good time with it, but it is a very bumpy ride! San Pedro is about 4 mi south of the resort, and it takes about 25 to 30 minutes via golf cart to get there. And you have to cross a toll bridge ($5 R/T) to get into town. In conclusion, if you are looking for a place for a nice laid-back vacation, the Belizean Shores is a great choice!
“Great Stay!”
We really enjoyed the Belizean Shores! Close enough to town to visit, but far enough away to make it feel really peaceful. It was great to have our own kitchen. Wonderful place to stay, we'd definitely recommend it!
“Love Belizian Shores”
We just love this place. Our 4th time visiting Belize and it's so nice to return and be greeted by the same people, who are so friendly and remember you!!
“Would stay here again”
We were so happy to have chosen this hotel! The staff was great and kept the place up well. Talk to Angel at the front desk as he seems to know EVERYONE on Ambergris Caye and you won't be disappointed with anything he sets up for you. We did scuba, Lamanai tour, snorkeling, sea Kayaking (free) and hiking all starting from this hotel. The swim up bar was definitely a plus and all of the bartenders were a lot of fun. There are literally hammocks between palm trees right by the beach in front of this hotel. If you like to cook then the kitchen's were equipped with everything we needed to eat in when we wanted and the rooms are very spacious so you don't even feel like you are in a room but rather in an apartment! The water situation was the only concern (everyone must drink bottled water provided by the hotel, but this is everywhere in Ambergris so be prepared). The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Housekeeping even did our dishes every day! It was a great vacation!
“Great Value on Ambergris...”
Great. And having a full kitchen (including toaster/blender/pots/pans) was a plus since we had kids, and weren't up for a restaurant for EVERY meal. Staff for the most part is outstanding minus a bartender we didn't care for and had to complain, but management was quick to address our concerns. The pool/bar is great. Also, since you have use of the pool next door (water slide & diving rocks), the kids were happy. The restaurant is ok, & the store that delivers groceries is quick, friendly, and has a great selection (although they are by no means cheap). Location-wise, it's pretty much what you;d expect from San Pedro. The resorts are accesible via water taxi or gold cart. We chose the boat because, well, we were in Belize. The unlimited water taxi voucher is a great value. Tuff Enuff is the resort's excursion company and honestly, they get probably a C grade. The people are mostly very friendly and informative, but their variety of trips was so-so, and even when they had nothing booked, they didn't seem open to going to different snorkelling locations for instance. Also, there are no trips there that include sightseeing, lunch, or drinks. In contrast, Captain Morgan's had tons of excursions, and their trips included beer, water, sodas, rum punch, and stops for lunch and for shopping. BUT, I loved staying at Belizean Shores and the 5 minute beach walk to Captain Morgan's for trips beautiful. All in all, great. A perfect place to stay with the kids.
“Excellent hotel service on a relaxing vacation”
We were very pleased with our hotel stay at Belizean Shores Resort. The room was clean and comfortable--comfortable bed, adequate kitchen ware for cooking, and the staff cleaned the room and replaced the beach towels daily. Our son loved the pool--there's an even more beautiful pool next door at the Coco resort, a sister hotel. The pool bartenders were friendly and helpful with advice. We found that the poolside drinks were not too expensive. We did two tours with Tuff-e-Nuff. Dave was a great guide for the half day snorkeling tour. We also traveled to the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich and went cave-tubing, both with Andre, a fantastically informative guide who takes pride in his country. We also used the Tuff-e-Nuff water taxi service and found the five day passes well worth the price. There were very few budget-priced restaurants near the resort, and the Belizean Shores restaurant was OK but not amazing. Also, the nearby pizza place has closed down. In town, the ceviche was good at Lily's Treasure Chest and Waruguma's. Waruguma's also has freshly made pupusas. We ate many of our meals in the room with groceries purchased beforehand at Mata Grande Grocery. Be sure to find Wine De Vine in town (south of the airport) and get some Belizean chocolate, named Kakow. Overall the stay was very relaxing and we felt taken care of. All the staff we had contact with were friendly and helpful; being met at the dock with drinks when we arrived was a nice touch.
“absolutly perfect”
the hotel service was absolutly perfect, the room super, big and clean. nice swimming pool. good for activity. we were snorkeling and that was amazing.
“Didn't live up to the reviews. Would choose sister resort next time.”
Not what we had expected. The room was pleasant and clean, though dated and slightly shabby. On the positive side, we had a loft so that gave more space. The pool was nice, but pool bar was over-priced even for a pool bar. The restaurant was striving to be adequate. The beach front of the resort was kept clean, but it was pretty small and the adjacent areas were dirty and littered with debris. The tuff e nuff group that runs the snorkeling and other trips was over-priced relative to operations in town. The quality of the activity was highly variable, depending on the guide. One of the snorkel trips we took was fairly unprofessional, and bordered on dangerous for teenagers. The service at the resort office was unacceptable. There were few amenities in the room. Bring your own shampoos and soaps. Also don't look for daily coffee. They provided a single baggie of coffee on the first day (enough for 6 cup pot) and then refused to give anymore. Thankfully, there is a grocery store that delivers (Mata Grande). The resort is accessible by water taxi, which was not real convenient due to the frequency of the schedule. They said they rented out golf carts. We got one from sister resort because Belizean Shores had no more left. This cart was in terrible shape. We were afraid we weren't going to make it back from town and/or that it would be stolen because the key didn't fit in the ignition and there was no lock on it. Do yourselves a favor and look for another resort!
