We stayed twice during our visit to Belize, as book-ends, in order to coordinate our flights. The staff was wonderful, the room was very nice, the grounds were clean, as well as the lovely pool area. The room was clean. The only complaint is that the restaurant was a bit less than we expected. It was fine, but the selections were a bit limited.

We did not expect to be able to check in several hours early, but our room was just about ready, which we were so glad of! The room was exquisitely clean and the A/C was magically cool. I enjoyed the porch swing, the poolside beer, and the attentive service over my delicious breakfast the next morning. The complimentary bottle of Marie Sharp's hot sauce was a wonderful touch!

The room, the pool area, the location where all very good. However, the breakfast was poor, very disappointing and overpriced; and eating from dispoable paper plates and with disposable plastic cutlery is simply not acceptable.
