"Excellent staff!"

"It was a nice spot. A little off the beaten oth"

"Very hard to report this, but the property was uninhabitable when we were there.. High-level - there was area-wide sargassum inundation. This is not unusual. Low-level - the management's choice of how to deal with the situation in their particular bay (or not deal with it), was/is pitiful. Facts: • We had a 4 night stay booked - had to leave early. • The resort was vacant. There were maybe 5-10 other people total, which I assume was due to the situation (smell). • We stayed the night we arrived because we had activities booked the next day. We did those activities all day, came back to resort to stay one more night, and left next day. • The staff was amazing!! They went out of their way to attempt to help us find peace in that insane situation. I'm certain they would like their management to attack the problem more proactively, and also they have no control over it. • We transited the coastline 4 times, and witnessed other resorts and beaches that were clear, or had MORE active clearing work underway. Reef Haven's clearing activity was non-existent. One guy in the water with a rake and a mask ....not good enough. • I'm certain that with approval, I could fix their issue in 3 days. I'd bring 3 boats of guys from San Pedro 3 days in a row, put them up in the resort overnight, and we'd clear the beach. • The rotting sargassum is toxic once it starts producing hurdrogen sulfide. We had to shelter in our room / apartment, with towels at the door threshold. "

"Snorkeling right there great! Fishing excellent too. Kayaks, fish poles, snorkeling gear all free to use. Staff hospitality unbeatable! The service wonderful. They even arranged puddle jumper plane and boat transfer so fun and snorkeling trip!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Peaceful, Relaxing Stay – Highly Recommend Pros: * Quiet, laid-back atmosphere (never crowded) * Clean, spacious rooms with very comfortable beds * Strong WiFi throughout the property * Two clean, well-maintained pools * Friendly, responsive staff (easy communication via WhatsApp) * On-site restaurant with great options (pizza, octopus, burgers, breakfast) * Hammocks outside rooms – perfect for relaxing * Convenient airport shuttle (with optional grocery stop) * Dock access for boat pickups/excursions * Great spa services Cons: * Located outside the main town (golf cart needed to explore) * Beach affected by sargassum at times (common across the island) Summary: X’tan Ha Resort is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay away from busy crowds. The property is well maintained, the staff is excellent, and the overall experience is stress-free and comfortable. While it’s a bit outside town, that actually adds to the quiet vibe. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it—especially for couples or anyone looking to unwind on Ambergris Caye."

"Gorgeous property and the perfect oasis a short distance from San Pedro"

"Gorgeous and amazing resort!! You feel like you are truly in Belize and not a hotel resort like feel. Rooms great, staff amazing. Staff can assist in everything. Make sure to rent a golf cart for stay to get around. Chris the gentleman who runs the charter boats for fishing and snorkeling super amazing guy too. Belize people are friendly, and accommodating. Very much vibe of Costa Rica with smiles and great attitude."

"My stay at La Beliza Resort was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite and our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The pool area was quiet and relaxing, making it easy to enjoy the sun without feeling crowded like we did at other places on the island. There was some sargassum along the beach, but it was everywhere across Ambergris Caye and thanks to the staff working to clean it up every day, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Our trip highlights were visiting Secret Beach and snorkeling at Hol Chan Marine Reserve and both are worth doing. The staff at the resort did a great job coordinating and organizing tours. Overall, a comfortable and relaxing place to stay."

"The room was clean. The staff is friendly. The location is a little remote but that's a good thing. Great place to relax but not too far from restaurants and secret beach."
