Authentic hotel to stay at. Beautiful. Note, there is a lot of seaweed so you can’t go in the water. Well you can a little on the left hand side. There are a lot of waves. I saw a couple go to the pier and jumped in for their daily swim. Also, the price for diner or anything you purchase at hotel from spa to food or anything else, it’s US Dollars. The other nearby hotels had Belize prices. I ordered ice cream from Roberts Grove and it was $8 US dollars. Hotel nearby charged. Belize dollars which came out to be $4 in US Dollars. I did not come to Belize to be charged US prices.

The property in a whole was okay but it was a little ways away from everything and I didn’t like the fact that when I did make my appt on Expedia they didn’t really explain on the website it was us or bz so I feel that should be something explain more. When I did talk to resort I feel like they should be more helpful by not lying to us about giving us a percentage off and not do anything about it when you get to the resort. When on the phone with the supervisor Kimberly I think that’s her name but I can’t remember. I just figured I was spending a lot of money including another room she could have at least been nice enough to give me some more percentage off like she said she would. She told Me on the phone that she would have on my room That I had purchase and when I went to the room She literally had different explanation to me. When it comes to customer service there should always be great customer service with a great attitude not with things like mam I am helping you and you are not understanding what I am trying to say, you never talk to a customer like that. The other resort staff was very nice especially the young lady that checked me in. She was very sweet and tried helping me in anyway she could. The staff from the bar that night was very respectful.

Older resort but very well maintained. Ocean view, very comfortable room. Great service. Nice restaurant and bar and plenty of ice! Easy walking distance to other restaurants and a Good market. Very nice location and an extra plus if you’re chartering from Sunsail, Moorings or Dream Yacht Charters they are just across the road.

First off the “welcome drink” was hilarious-pineapple & orange juice & grenadine. We questioned the bartender every way possible & there still wasn’t any alcohol offered. So we had a shot of Patron in each one-$25 US. Lesson learned this is not the place to drink-we realize not everyone drinks but seriously-it was a common joke among other guests. I always try to be positive so I commend the staff and service-it was the best & everyone was always ready to help you. The food in the restaurant was also very good. The rooms and grounds were very clean. One thing you have to understand is this isn’t the Hilton so don’t expect those amenities-Robert’s Grove is characteristic of their land. We were disappointed the “3 bars” stated in their description were not operating & we were so looking forward to the bar out on the pier which wasn’t operating either. The 3 pools are all separated by the buildings. We were looking for a quaint & small resort and it did meet those needs. Despite that fact, it still needs some “vibes”-a little music playing or something to add some ambience. There was no problem of getting chairs in the beach or pool. Buy a “bottle” at the airport when you get in-Robert’s will give you a bucket of ice. We understand there are some financial issues for this resort & we hope they can pull out of it and step up the atmosphere a little.

It was quiet while we were there and we had the infinity pool to ourselves which was awesome! The rooms and grounds were neat and clean but could use some sprucing up. The staff was nice but did not know all the hotels policies. We chose to supply our own beverages as the bar was expensive and poured a short cocktail.

False Transportation Advertising & Poor Value
I don’t think I’ve ever left a bad hotel review until now, but I feel I should notify future guests about the issues we encountered on our 7yr anniversary so they can stay elsewhere. To start, they advertise a free airport pickup on Hotels.com, which is a scam. What they offer is free airSTRIP pickup for private small planes. When we booked, we immediately emailed the property with our flight number, but we never heard back despite emailing a few times. We called, and they said they had our flight info, which was United Airlines, so obviously not one of the small planes like Tropic Air that land in Placencia. They said they would be there, but when we called after landing — not only did they ONLY THEN tell us we needed to either take a 3.5hr $300USD+ taxi or a plane, they didn’t help us coordinate it. Beyond the transportation to the hotel, they boast they have daily shuttles to the main town Placencia (then you pay $10USD to taxi back), yet on New Year’s Eve, they didn’t have one available and failed to tell us until 30mins had passed. Beyond that, here is a list of other hotel issues not expected for a hotel that costs $300/night in Central America: - Breakfast low, they said we were only allowed to have two eggs and that you have to get their early for there to be food — warning: They don’t restock! - No towels, you better ask for beach towels early, if you don’t, they run out. A lord of the flies beach resort with no towels Go to It’zana!!!

Wonderful stay!
Our family of four LOVED our stay at Roberts Grove. We had a beautiful room, with a separate room with bunk beds for the kids. Huge room, private deck with hammock, chairs and table. Overlooking the gorgeous beach. The sand is powdery soft, swimming is great in the pools and ocean. The staff is great and will really take care of everything for you. All you need to do is show up! They’ll arrange tours, rides all you do is relax! We really enjoyed it. Breakfast was included each day, and the prices at habanero restaurant can’t be beat. Great food, big portions, excellent prices. Resort is beautiful, don’t let a few of the reviews that call it “run-down” scare you. Yes, it’s older, but it is well taken care of. Not a fancy place, feels more like home! I really can’t say enough good things about it. I would definitely recommend it, especially the family room if traveling with kids. I would go back in a heartbeat!

The room we had was beautiful; very spacious, clean and the Panamanian style was lovely. I also liked having a screendoor on both the front and back. Bathroom was really large and the walk-in shower was huge, and had a laundry line within it, very helpful. The bathroom also had a bar fridge under the sink which was really helpful. Loads of TV stations. WiFi within the room was not great, but it was good within the restaurant/lobby area. My daughter and both enjoyed the pools, but the one nearest the lobby, and the one furthest the lobby, weren't as clean as they should be (were sort of murky). The one in the middle was much cleaner, but highly chlorinated as well - you could smell it as soon as you got into the pool. It turned all my silver rings grey. The restaurant had good food, but no kids menu, why on earth not? The servings were enormous and too big for one adult and one child, so we learned to order accordingly (one item split between us both). The breakfast buffet was small - not too much selection, but were were there in low season, maybe it is larger in high season? but tasty. The shuttle to town is appreciated, as it's a long way.

OK Resort Not up to rating 8.8
We had an medical emergency and had to cut out trip short (we were going on a sailing trip) but we could not get a flight out so we had to stay one extra night. I booked the extra night via Hotels.com and just picked the lowest price. We had a ocean view room and they said we had to move because I booked a garden view room or pay an extra amount. Under the circumstance it would have been nice not to pay more or move but we had to pay. The hotel was not full at all in fact the front desk said only about 1/4 full. I then had to print out some documents for the Dr to fill out who came to see us and they wanted .50 a page. The hotel is ok...3.5 star. Food was good... Not fantastic... Included breakfast also not great. Should have more fruit and more choices very limited.Hot tea included Ice tea extra. View is beautiful but the beach not very swimable due to sea weed...Nice pools but two of the three cloudy. Resort needs building updates... The grounds are kept up nicely

Everyone at Robert’s Grove diligently and honorably remembered our first names and addressed us as, “Miss .... or Mr. ...” It revealed honor, integrity, and respect. More specifically, the staff went out of their way to assist us and to ENSURE that they could address us respectfully during times requiring assistance. I fully recognize and understand this resort’s attention to politeness, details, manners, and respect!

Rustic, comfortable and friendly. If you're looking for somewhere with lot's of activities like volleyball, shuffleboard, swim up bars and such you will want to look elsewhere. But if you want a home base that's comfortable with a staff that goes out of their way to make your stay good along with two solid restaurants I would recommend Robert's Grove. There are several room choices, I recommend the rooms with vaulted ceilings. Makes a HUGE difference! Three pools, all different to themselves. The beach is on the smaller side but the location is close enough to everything that makes this a good choice. Lastly I highly recommend getting a golf cart for getting around. Well worth it. Use Captain Jacks. Have the best carts and service. And for excursions, just the Robert's arrange everything for you, just relax.

Nice property on the beach. Sea grass was there when I was visiting in May 2019. The property is pretty and has a lot of vegetation for birds. I was in a one-bedroom room, which looked like the online photo but was not as bright or new looking. The bathroom could use an update (cabinetry, countertop). Shower was large and water pressure good! Limited number of restaurants within walking distance but there are a couple, plus the one onsite. Continental breakfast was included in my room price and it was good - fresh fruit, cereal, breakfast burritos, toast.

This trip was everything I had hoped it would be. The staff are very well trained in taking care of you and very friendly. The tours they offer are very nice and the food at the two restaurants was excellent. The trip to the village was disappointing and really not worth the taxi fee back. The spa was absolutely wonderful, especially after a hike in the rain forest. Our whole experience at Roberts Grove was very nice.

Very relaxing. Beautiful scenery. Friendly staff. Comfortable rooms and bed. Please note however that when you fly into Belize, you then have to book a flight to Placencia. We were not aware of this. It ended up costing us double the going rate. Book it ahead and it's $120 round trip per person. Very small plane, i believe 10 seat. Nice flight though.

The staff at Robert's Grove is amazing. Especially Louis! He was previously a tour guide in Belize and is now the front desk manager at Robert's Grove. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. Loved hearing some of his stories about his tour guide adventures. All you have to do is ask and you shall receive. Three pools to choose from, lots of excursions to go on and you can stop at any resort along the Plecencia peninsula for lunch or dinner. Stop at the Sea Spa and get a massage on the beach with the waves crashing and the birds chirping.

The staff are what make this resort. Aaron the bartender is very personable and makes a point of remembering every guests name. The food at the main restaurant and Habanero was really good and we were surprised by how many meals we ate at the resort. Where things fall apart is age and up keep. You can see that money has not been put into maintaining the resort. There are three pools but only one has an open bar and only one has any music. One night the entire resort was out of wine. The lounge chairs are made of wood and one of the legs actually fell off during use. I hope they are able to inject some money back into Robert’s Grove. It has potential.
