We have been coming to the Maya Hotel and Bistro for several years. It gets even better with time. The Lees are excellent in maintaining their standards of service and training staff. They improve their facilities and it is a truly welcoming place. Like a home you know you can always go to for the comfort and care. And the food....second to none! A most creative menu, infusing classic cuisines with just the perfect Caribbean/Belizean flavor. We will always return!!

Absolutely the most stunning hotel and location. Our king room overlooked a pristine sandy beach. Everything was just perfect, the staff, the decor, the comfort and the food. The breakfast included a Belizean specialty the fry Jack. A delicious puff of doughnut like bread served with or without sugar and cinnamon. The friendly bartender Elvis makes the most spectacular cocktails at the beach bar. The owners were on site overseeing operations and their attention to detail makes everything so...

I did a lot of research for our trip to Belize and just really couldn't find a place that seemed more appealing in our price range than Sleeping Giant. I was not disappointed. First, I'll say that we are the type of people to rent a car so we have a mode of transportation to explore, but at the suggestion of the hotel manager we decided to go with the hotel car service. I am SO GLAD we took her advice. Our flight was delayed and we got there after dark and there is NO WAY we would have ever...

My husband and I loved staying at Seiri Del Mar! The grounds are stunning and the condo provided everything we needed. The on-site washer and dryer was a plus! Ratka, her husband, and entire staff were so kind. Whenever I had a question I would just ask anyone and they would help us. We will definitely be back. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with beautiful local people Hopkins is the place to visit!

Our stay was wonderful. We are a mom & 3 daughters on a girls get away! Hotel has complimentary paddle boards, kayaks and bicycles. Wonderful swim up bar. Delicious food in the restaurant. Extremely helpful staff. Jason was exceptionally helpful. Also complementary shuttle in to town and to/from airport The hotel is quite remote. If you don't have a car you must rely on the shuttle which has set hours that may not match up with your plans

This is a lovely beachfront property. My husband and I stayed in the Stingray cabana and it was perfect. Comfortable bed, large bathroom and it was nice having the option of leaving windows open so we could hear the crashing waves or turning on the AC if the humidity was high. The staff was fantastic. Thank you!

Had a great time. The staff at this hotel is really wonderful. It is a very pretty hotel set on a great beach. it is a quite town but close to lots of attractions. Water was great.

HANDS DOWN, the best resort! We stayed for 3 nights in Placencia, and when we come back we will go here without even second guessing it. Manny at the front desk is EXCEPTIONAL, Amir and all of the dining staff go above and beyond for EVERYTHING! Our room was clean, comfortable and properly taken care of daily. The spa is OUTSTANDING. I have traveled all over the world and this resort/hotel is at the top of my list. They took care of our every need and question. They looked out for us as their...

This place is super new or super newly renovated. It seems to be one of the first of its kind in this particular town. There is a fence around the property, but we didn’t see any particular need for it, aside from making guests feel secure and a little more away from the local sounds and sights. The neighborhood seemed laid back and not touristy. The bar-restaurant is SO cute. The food was excellent. I had the steak. My friend had the conch ceviche. Both were excellent. I also had the enormous...

Such a beautiful resort highly recommend! The staff is what really made it such a beautiful experience. The staff was welcoming and tended to our every need. I spent my birthday here and it was something to remember!

Maya Heights is a breathtaking and serene place. My stay there was peaceful, relaxing The staff were all pleasant and kind.

Spent 6 nights in this "hidden gem"! Tucked away in the quiet village of Hopkins, Almond Beach was a perfect place for a family getaway. The room was spacious and clean, right on the beach and quiet. The staff was friendly and accommodating--even making a homemade soup for our daughter who wasn't feeling well one night! So kind!! The Coffee shop made a perfect cappuccino every morning, and the restaurant served delicious local and fresh meals. We had a nice balance of relaxation and...

For starters, if your idea of a great beach hotel looks something like a big city Marriot plunked down into a locale with sand and water, manned by local folks sanitized with white uniforms, then Parrot Cove Lodge, and for that matter Hopkins Beach in general, is probably not what you are looking for, and I'm guessing they are not all that interested in you either. If on the other hand you appreciate an intimate experience with your hosts, a clean, comfortable, well maintained room, excellent...

We got this place at last minute, arrive late and the owner host were waiting for us. Room very naive, individual tree houses. The place is beautiful, we could not enjoy it ,much because we were in Placencia for a weeding and we were pretty busy, left early and come back late, we did have breakfast and I can say it is very good and reasonable, their restaurant have a great sea view.

The property was clean, well maintained and overall a pleasant environment! The staff were very friendly and helpful. My family and I enjoyed our time there!

Where do I start? The moment we got to the resort we were welcomed by Heidi who brought us to our room. She was the most kind and helpful dront desk person there! Heraldo made our long weekend a blast and kept the drinks flowing. I dont know how many welcome Freshnesses i had, but they never disappointed! The resort itself is magical, like something out of a book. Mark, Juan, and Roland were also very accommodating setting up our shuttle's and golf cart rental which i highly recommend doing. The...

Beautiful room! Breakfast included is a plus especially traveling with younger kids! Friendly and welcoming staff! It is a place you’d want to stay and come back again.

My girlfriend and I could not be more happy with our stay at the Ellysian. I truly believe it is the best hotel/resort to stay in all of Placencia and possibly Belize. I know this probably sounds fake or like an add for this hotel but I really am this in love with the hotel and recommend it to everyone. First off, the facilities themselves are beautiful! Everything is kept extremely clean and beautifully furnished. The rooms are GIANT! We stayed in a non-ocean front room which we...
