This hotel far exceeded my expectations. From the moment we were greeted at the Belize City Airport to the very last farewell, we were shown impeccable service. When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted with cold drinks, and a chilled towel. The accommodations were comfortable, and the a/c worked great! I traveled with my husband, and two young adult children. We all were thoroughly impressed by the property and the fabulous food at the restaurant.
