Just returned form 8 nights in unit 5. We loved this large room with the great view. The fridge, microwave, and toaster oven made it easy to prepare meals in our room. The room was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. We consider this the best place to stay on the island.

Great location only 3 min from the split and 5 min walk to downtown. The rooms are finished in dark mahogony, and have good air conditioning. Water pressure is low but there was enough for showers. They supply canoes, bikes and kayaks which was very nice. They supplied potable water to us which also was nice. They are very friendly... More

I travelled in November 2011 - place over the shop and the one-bedroom - both great with the one-bedroom having a very nice deck that overlooks the ocean. Rooms very clean and all the basics "+" for good price (TV, AC, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, wi-fi..AND use of bikes and canoes at no additional cost...AND a tour shop connected to... More

After traveling for 90+ days, this was the worst experience we had with any staff at any of the places we stayed. We were quoted a price and they tried to increase it upon arrival. When we questioned the increase, the lady argued with us, often raising her voice and being totally unprofessional. She was extremely disrespectful, trying to blame... More

If you make your reservation online or over the phone and have a paper trail you MAY be ok. My boyfriend and I had the misfortune of booking in person 5 days in advance. We wanted to move here to accommodate our friend coming into town to visit us and moved from our apartment at DA REAL MACAW, which is... More

We stayed at Costa Maya at the beginning of November. Unit 6 is a one bedroom with the most awesome deck right infront of the sea with spectacular view daily. Included were kayaks, bikes and wifi. Compliments of Heather, the manager, we had the perks of a ice maker and propane bbq. The room was always made sparking clean and... More

This is a relatively comfortable location right next to the beach and near the swimming hole created by the hurricane in years past. Nice beachside bar there too. The rooms are unimpressive but clean and affordable. The staff can customize tours right from the office. ****I recommend the night snokel tour of the reef - most outstanding travel experience I've... More

We stayed in Cabana 5, with a balcony overlooking the sea and it was a really great room - with a private bathroom and kitchenette. The staff weren't really friendly (unlike everybody else in Belize), but that didn't really bother us, as the hotel also had free bikes, kayaks and a palapa right over the water. The location is close... More

We didn't have much fun here. - The room was tiny - no room to put any of our bags, let alone unpack anything from them. - There's no glass on the windows, so when it rains you have to shut the storm shutters and sit in the dark. - It's right next door to a much nicer hotel, so... More

This guest stayed in Cabana 9, it is one of our smaller rooms. Guests are most welcome to inspect the room prior to staying and paying. The shutters are hurricane shutters. Water on the island comes from 3 different sources. Rain water, well water or bought water, sometimes the well water has a sulfur smell but it does not harm... More
