"The staff was super friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make all our arrangements successful. We took day trips to town, went diving and snorkeling and took a ferry to Caye Caulker. The staff offers to book dives, arrange the taxi boat, will look up ferry schedules and have a golf cart delivered. The boat captains dropped us off directly at the ferry and dive shop, which was super nice. The resort is far but the boat taxis were key to making our trip enjoyable. Renting a golf cart was easy, the drive to town took 1 hour and was thrilling and hilarious how bumpy the road is. The 2 bedroom suite was amazing, plenty of room to relax, beds were comfortable and showers were hot. The food was pretty good, standing menu with specials that changed each night. Didn’t understand why reservations were needed for breakfast and dinner since meals were included in the package, we did our best to remember but definitely could sense the irritation when we forgot to make them. My only complaint and I hate to mention it, is the sargassum, it was so bad. Depending on which way the wind blew, it would smell up our room with rotting ferment which gave us headaches. Reef Haven’s at a disadvantage since it’s located in a cove, so it collects in masses and doubles daily, it requires early action to avoid the ferment and so much manpower to remove it. Overall, with exception of the smell it was a great experience to explore the island and meet the locals. "

"Grand Caribe Belize:A Solid Stay That Shows Its Age. Our stay at the Grand Caribe was overall just okay;kind of like an NBA veteran who’s clearly past his prime. There’s still experience and reliability there, but you can’t help noticing the wear and tear. The décor felt dated throughout the property, and there were visible signs of aging that made the resort feel a bit tired. The hot tub was also out of service during our stay, which was a disappointment.That said, being able to use the Sunset Caribe property across the street was a big plus. Sunset Caribe is far more modern, livelier, and honestly where we found ourselves spending much of our time. It highlighted what Grand Caribe is currently missing. The standout feature at Grand Caribe was easily the three-bedroom unit. It was spacious, well laid out, and fully stocked, making it ideal for our family. Having that much room to spread out added real value to our trip and was arguably the best part of staying here. Onsite restaurants were overpriced for the quality—food was just okay and not particularly memorable. The pool bar had good drinks, though they were expensive, and the food there was pretty meh. We did enjoy the one day of live entertainment at the pool, but outside of that, the pool area felt pretty quiet and lacking energy. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. However, there didn’t seem to be any real security controlling access to the property, and there was no beach service at all"

"Excellent and professional service "

"Amazing service throughout our stay."

"Great spot, great staff, remote!"

"The hotel staff were fantastic and the view was beautiful. It was quite a ways from San Pedro town which limited dining options for us. The staff booked us a reservation at Mambo with a driver or boat pickup depending on the weather. The breakfast was good but very few options for dinner at the onsite restaurant. If I could do it again, I would rent a golf cart in town for the duration of our stay and book tours that picked us up at the resort dock."

"My family and I loved our stay at North Beach Retreat! It is right on a private beach, about 45 min away from San Pedro town. Very quiet and relaxing, with beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea. Norman and Yvonne were amazing hosts. They gave great insight about the island, were excellent chefs, and just very kind and hospitable. Would definitely stay here again!! "

"Walking distance to MANY bars/restaurants. Lynn and Ed so nice. Will return for sure."
