We stayed in TBR from Mar 9 - 16th with a large group of friends and family celebrating a wedding. We had ignored previous reviews as they were older noting problems with the managers and inexplicably large tabs at the end of the week. Do not be fooled, they are up to the same tricks. Pete, was the manager on... More

Most of your wedding guests had a great time and enjoyed the week at Tranquility Bay Resort. We know that some issues occurred with the planning and the Open Tab the night of the ceremony. We have made changes in the onsite management and our reporting for Open Bars at the resort and are looking forward to the future of... More

KJSmith11’s review prompted me to finally write my own long overdue review. I don’t know why we didn’t do it right away as we had basically already formulated it in our heads on the way home. I guess we kept wondering how to pare it down. However, now I don’t have to as KJSmith11’s review basically describes our experience as... More

We went to this isolated resort July 1st 2012. There are no roads to get to this place - it is about 25 minutes from San Pedro via speeding motorboat to get there. Once there, you find a nice beach (with good snorkeling available right from the beach - very rare in Belize), about 12 two story little detached houses,... More

This review is long overdue... my husband and I spent a wonderful week at Tranquility Bay to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary in late April of 2012. We are Caribbean bums and have traveled to many of the USVI's and BVI's, Mexico a few times, and the Bahamas, so we were looking for something different and less commercial. We... More

TBR was a dream. Great beach with reef right out your door. Kayaks, fishing, snorkeling, diving, hammocks and beach chairs in the shade. Kathryn was very helpful, Pani- "the hardest working man in Belize" is gem (thanks for taking me out snorkeling and for the black tip reef shark), and Caesar and Jose great waiters-service with a smile. Restaurant had... More

Let's see....this is an interesting experience to try and describe. I decided to have my wedding at TBR and it was absolutely stunning! The entire week was amazing and so much fun! The weather was fairly mild all week, but quite lovely! Most of the staff at TBR are truly wonderful people, and so hard working! We had roughly 20... More

We are very sorry that your wedding didn't meet your expectations. We have made many changes in how we plan weddings at the resort and have hired a new manager. Open Bars, in my experience are always a shock to the person paying the tab. We have therefore made changes in how we tally and report back to our guests... More

It's all about location! The proximity of the underwater world, the beach, charming cabanas, a restaurant and bar with appealing choices and the lack of overt commercialism combine to make TBR the perfect choice for vacation perfection.

This was our 4th trip to TBR. It has everything we want in a Caribbean vacation and it is does NOT have the things we want to avoid. We love to dive, snorkel, fly fish, eat fresh fish, drink Belikin and hang out on a beautiful beach away from the maddening crowd. Mr. Pete does a great job as manager:... More
