First thing I have to say about this place is the staff is AWESOME. We spent evenings in the cabana cooking fresh fish over a BBQ grill while drinking fresh coconut milk. The staff accommodated our every whim. The view out our front door was of the barrier reef, one of the best places in the world to scuba dive.... More

The emails back and forth with Javier were a little slow. However, everything worked out great! We had exchanged emails and he confirmed the cabana and said he would charge my credit card. He hadn't after several days and no emails so I got a little worried. He assured me that everything was confirmed and it was. The Dream Cabana... More

This was my second stay, I invited a long time friend, a wonderful time we had. In the early morning beautiful crabs would greet us, then Ginger (cat) and children would hang out resting peacefully. The hotel staff so wonderful, Thomas, Javier, and my dear friend Mel treated us like family. Mel's husband also has a tour boat "Seaduced" offering... More

Hotel Del Rio was very clean and right on the beach in the quieter north end of San Pedro and still walking distance to everything. The staff is amazing. We stayed in the dream house which was my favorite...so nice, huge and private...great kitchen for cooking so we saved a lot of money by not eating out everyday. gets LOTS... More

From the moment we first checked in until the time of check out, the staff was simply magnificent! The staff (Javier, Suyapa and Tomas) were very knowledgable, courteous and extremely friendly (often willing to talk at length about all things San Pedro/Belize/life). All recomendations provided by the staff (restaurants, expeditions, etc.) all exceeded expectations. The owner also showed up a... More

Don't stay in the hotel rooms - stay in the Dream House or the other ocean view cabana. We stayed in the dream house - awesome ocean view. Romantic for two, or roomy for a family if you want. Twin beds in a loft, a queen downstairs. Bathroom w/ towels - they'll loan you beach towels if you ask too.... More

stay in the cabanas for a cute ocean view from your room. Very friendly staff and guests. Great sunrises. More conventional hotel rooms behind the cabanas grande but not as much charm to them. Hire a golf buggy to see more of the island great fun. Overall very chilled place to stay

We stayed at Cabana Chica. It is closest to the road and ocean. It has a cozy porch where you can sit and watch the ocean. For the view and accomodations provided, the price is amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful when booking tours. They booked a snorkeling tour for us with great tour guides. Location is great... More

Stayed there for 8 days with my fiancé and had a wonderful time. We stayed in the Cabana Chica, closest to the road and ocean. The cabana is a tall palapa consisting of a queen sized bed and bathroom. There was no AC but we didn't new it, since we would just sleep with the mesh windows open and the... More
