5/5 Excellent

Would recommend this to friends and family :)"
A verified traveller stayed at The Ellysian Boutique Hotel
"Very friendly staff and super attentive. Unit could use more kitchen items and the bathrooms need a major overhaul. Pool needed maintenance, as well. Amazing, clean beach and staff were constantly working to keep it clean. Housekeeping did not come until dinner, but when asked for extra pillows, someone came right away. Laguna was great food and service. Pizza place was yummy, but expensive. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time. "

A verified traveller stayed at Mariposa Belize Beach Resort
"This is a delightful place. Its right on the beach and has a terrific pool with waterfall and swings! Cocktails and food are lovely and well priced. Some of the room was a bit tired looking but to be expected in a coastal resort. I would stay here again for sure!"
"5 star service in a beautiful location. Oir room was well appointed. I loved that there was no dining room and they delivered our food where ever we were on the property. Everything felt very private and relaxed. The massage service was amazing."
