3.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (159)
"The location is incredible if you're looking to stay as close to the beach as possible. The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly. It is quite loud with the bar music next door, so if you're looking for peace and quiet this probably isn't your spot. The location is very central and walkable. The only thing that was off putting about our room was that there was a flying ant infestation in the wall of the bathroom. They ended up coming out after dark around 9pm and quickly filled the...

"This was our family's 2nd stay at Little Harvest Caye, and we're already planning our 3rd! Pictures and words don't do justice to the island, the accommodations and the amazing staff. We felt welcomed from the first minute, and our time flew by. The staff were unfailingly kind and thoughtful, our meals were impeccable, and we never got tired of the island's natural beauty. We passed our days with epic games of cornhole & bocce, swimming, lounging in the many comfortable seating areas, and just...

"Great house, right on the ocean. Our kids were all stung by jellyfish plus with the seaweed we ended up utilizing the pool a good bit rather than swimming in the ocean. The paddle boards were great to have. The location is about 25 mins from Placencia Village, where the majority of good restaurants and grocery stores are. House was great and clean, with lots of amenities, games, towels, etc. Not all windows have window coverings (including the bedroom), so very open to the beach. Had a couple of...

"Ruben and Marissa are wonderful. They made us excellent dinners, cleaned our rooms and provided fresh towels on a regular basis and answered all of our questions! The home is well laid out for four couples with plenty of room to gather and enjoy the beautiful beach and pool area. The kitchen is well stocked. We had a little trouble reaching them when we are on our way from the airport due to bad cell reception. I don't know if it would help to know the mile marker ahead of time so that you...

"First off, the owners and manager are awesome. They are very responsive, and communicate very well. The location was perfect for us, in the middle of Hopkins town. You are able to get the feel for day to day life of the residence. The people were fantastic. The place is nice and quaint, but we loved it. My wife and I both agree, the only thing it was lacking was a couch in the lounge. But honesty, we loved the place and our time in Belize. Nice work!!"

We could not have been happier with our time at MyanHeaven, a slice of heaven right in Hopkins - a beautiful house with wonderful beds and bedrooms, well appointed kitchen, gorgeous peaceful veranda, feet from the beach, easy walking distance to resturants, groceries, vegetable stands and the Thongs Cafe (great food).
