If you are okay with traveling an hour to town each day then it’s okay. We lost electricity one day and the water the next after we spoke with the hotel about compensation; they said a single worker would have to pay for it since he failed to let the manager know… How weird? Bed sheets had holes in them. The other staff was pretty friendly except for a few front desk employees. Would mot recommend.

The hotel was supposed to arrange transportation for us and had provided us with a voucher via email. However, we were unable to use the voucher when we arrived and had to purchase water taxi tickets. To make matters worse, the hotel transportation did not show up as planned. We had to hire a cab which was in a filthy condition, but it was the only one that could accommodate our party. To our dismay, the room door would not lock and the hotel staff's response was unhelpful, as they simply said, "there's a trick to it". Due to these issues, we decided to check out early the following morning.

Location was perfect - gorgeous beach* and far from the traffic and crowds in town. Reasonable & fun ride (albeit a bit bumpy) to/from town if you wanted to go there. Pros: full kitchen, in-room bottled water dispenser, decent mattress, bicycles. Cons: The Cayes have a heartbreaking garbage problem. Piles of single-use plastic litter on beaches, road etc. The hotel employees rake it up from *beach with the sea grass and dump it on neighboring properties. They could be part of the solution by picking out the trash and properly disposing of it. They should also provide trash cans on beach and around property. Saw many visitors/owners trying to do their part! Bring: bug spray (it is the tropics after all), reusable water bottles, ground coffee, and as many groceries as you can fit. (Food prices in Belize are high, and variety is low). I implore you NOT to buy/accept drinks in plastic bottles - as it will likely wind up in beach or ocean here. (Glad the resort has that dispenser,)

This place's so quiet, which I like. Dark gets so fast, and you can’t hear anything except wind. Beach is beautiful, but you could not swim in the sea because it is dangerous. The facility did not recognise VIP status and didn’t upgrade my room. First, I received the room with no lock on a balcony door at all. I asked to change my room and waited more than 3 hours to get it done. In that room, the blanket had a big bloody stain right on the top. I was completely exhausted to ask a staff for help because they promised and never did. So… I just went to previous rooms and switched blankets. After I got a key for a new room, I realized that it fits for any room, which is not safe. The resort has 3 swimming pools, but one of them was officially closed, and I would never put my foot in another one with dirty water. Third one had a clean water. Be aware those pools are really small. This resort located around 40 minutes driving from town. I did not rent a golf cart for mobility because the road was with huge pedals, and I saw how carts stacked in the middle.

The property is 15km from San Pedro and about a 40min golf cart ride. So if you want peace and quiet, this is the place. I would strongly suggest renting a golf cart for the week(better pricing) to get around. The location has one restaurant on property with friendly staff. Within walking distance is one other beach bar. I cannot say enough good things about the staff at the resort. They were super helpful and responsive to our needs. The two negatives are the location and secondly the Sandflies which were bad while we were there from Jan 5-19. One final note, before leaving San Pedro hit one of the grocery stores to stock up as the units do have a full kitchen. That way you will have some choice to get you started.
