Newly renovated so there’s a few old pics if you’re looking on Google. 3rd story private room was nice and clean, ice cold AC. No elevator, no ac in halls, stairwells or main lobby. Nice view from the shared balcony. There’s a great restaurant/bar on the dock right in front of the hotel, very convenient.

Wonderful hotel I had third floor private room with balcony, common area downstairs and the restaurant/ bar is a great hangout with nearby diving shops and airport. I left my phone in the Hotel and they shipped it as soon as they found out through the quick local airline from San Pedro to Belize city and got the phone to me while I was boarding my flight back home. Rooftop pool has beautiful views and is nice itself

Stay here!

Vey friendly staff. Great that their own restaurant is top tier. We ate breakfast there every day, and also dinner there other days. They also have a washing machine, a super good pool and kitchen if you feel like cooking. They also have a great deal with golfcarts and discount at one of the diving tour shops. Loved our stay here. Rented a private room with 2 beds, as a couple. Worth it!

First of all, this property is for ages 14 and up. I did not realize when biking and came with my 13 year old daughter. They let us stay, but made it clear that this was an Expedia error and not the norm. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay. Free paperboard to borrow, a beautiful pool and a good restaurant next door. The restaurant was a little pricey for our hostel budget, but convenient the first day when we arrived starving. The run was very clean with around AC and a safe. The kitchen was convenient for keeping food costs down, and despite the hostels reputation, it want too rowdy while we were there.
