    Pool and gym were still under construction. Once completed, I’d definitely return.

    Staff, food, rooms were all excellent. Exceptionally clean.

    I wish the hotel had a pool, although it's supposed to be finished next year. Also wish it had a gym.

    The staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site is very nice and good food.

    There is construction going on but other than an obstructed view, it doesn't really interfere with the stay unless you need to sleep during the day.

    This was a perfect stop for our final two days in Belize. The water pressure wasn't that great but everything else was nice. The rooftop restaurant boasts great views and even better service (shout out to Vincente and Noel, the bartenders-they are awesome). The bed was comfy as was the couch, room spotless, housekeepers very friendly. They held our bag at the front desk on our last day and arranged shuttle service to Di Brewery.

    There is quite a bit of construction going on currently, which is noisy though during business hours.

    This hotel offered a last-minute reprieve during a cross-country work trip. The roof deck restaurant is beautiful. Everything was fine generally: staff was nice, a good deal for the price, and the beds were comfy.

    Was very noisy, you could here people talking in hallways, in the rooms around you. Construction for expansion of the hotel is also happening, which they don't mention until you are there. You here the workers starting around 630 am. Not a lot of interesting things close by, and not too sure about wondering around the area at night.

    Nice view, clean comfortable beds

    I hate to say the location but that's probably it. There seem to be two kind of visitor friendly parts of the city that I could see, and we were in the middle, but not really "walkable" to either. This is not in the "action", so to speak. Beautiful view from the restaurant/rooftop though. No pool or amenities like that. They were building/updating, so they will have those things shortly it seems (we visited in Apr 2025).

    This was a very nice hotel. Great service, comfortable rooms, good staff. The best part of it is probably the restaurant upstairs, too. Very nice food, staff, view. The attached department store was kind of strange, but super handy too.

    It’s true that the hotel has construction going on and it can be quite noisy from 7a - 6p, but most people are out touristing during that time. The only suggestions we have are that considering the plastic pollution crisis the hotel consider doing as many hotels are and switch from individualized mini plastic bottles to large dispensers in the shower. Also, considering the extreme heat we’d suggest not using duvets on the beds, just a thin cover.

    We had a comfortable stay and would definitely return. Our room was very clean, the bed quite comfortable and the wifi, AC, mini-frig and plumbing all worked well. The rooftop restaurant is a lovely spot for sunset viewing and the food and service were great. There’s a large, filtered-water container just off the lobby to refill your bottle from which we greatly appreciated. It’s an easy walk along the waterfront to the Belize lighthouse and sign and the hotel provides a fast and reasonably-priced shuttle to the airport. Thank you for a good stay!

    There are still constructions - the hotel is building a new wing and the work is starting early and ending late. It was not terribly bad - but I found it. Stupid that the room we were put in did not face the other side.

    The hotel is clean and comfortable. The beds are great and the room is nice. Staff was helpful with everything we needed.

    Very expensive, as Belize city is a city with nothing to do. This accommodation but also others in nearby areas of Belize city are very expensive, and someone can only wonder why.

    The hotel staff was very helpful and kind. The accommodations were lovely and the bed was very comfortable. The view was non existent as there was construction and workers outside our window so the blinds had to remain closed for privacy. We took advantage of the rooftop bar which was fantastic. The staff at the restaurant was above great, very attentive and helpful with pointing out the many sights. Helped us make great choices with food suggestions. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks for the watermelon juice 😊

    The construction to expand the hotel means that the pool and gym are close for the next year.

    Rooftop restaurant was very good for both service and quality. Rooms were very clean.
