"This beautiful property is a hidden gem. The staff was warm, welcoming, and accommodating and the grounds are beautiful. There was not a ton of other guest which was nice to keep a relaxing vibe but some of the activities were limited. You could not enjoy the ocean because of the accumulation of sargassum and the water pressure needed to be consistently stronger. Despite this, I would gladly return and highly recommend Itz’ana for your next Belizean vacay!"
