My husband and I had a very relaxing time at Xaman Ek. We were greeted by the owner upon arrival who was very friendly and professional. He took his time showing us around, and afterwards, cooked us a fabulous meal. Everything was made fresh and some of the vegetables were from his garden. We had a great night´s sleep in... more

We stayed 8 days 7 nights and this was the perfect place for us. Our AC had a malfunction the first night there, and Mike (the owener) upgraded us for the remainder of our stay. The grounds, restaurant, and room were always completely clean, and while we didnt have a chance to take advantage of the spa, everyone who did... more

This is a gorgeous little resort located just 5 short water taxi miles north of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. The place is just charming and your host is very helpful in providing recommendations for activities to take advantage of during your stay. Snorkeling, diving, and kayaking are immediately available at Xaman Ek and don't forget to treat yourself at... more

We celebrated our 20th anniversary with a trip to Xaman Ek. Do not miss this hidden gem. It is truly a wonderful place. In response to previous posts....I really do think people who are posting bad reviews did not do thier research before hand and didn't know what to expect. This is a perfect place to relax, enjoy the peace... more

Meaning, some people seem to have been disappointed with Xaman Ek because it didn't meet theirs. Others appear to have had a great time there, as did I, my wife and sister-and-law. Thus is life, I suppose.... more

I saw this place on trip advisor and thought the website looked great. I was really looking forward to staying in the cabana and being away from town for a relaxing three day stay. I got there and though the staff was very nice, we were very disappointed by the room and the owner. We killed over 50 misquitos in... more

My husband and I booked our 5 night stay at Xaman Ek as part of our Belize honeymoon. We wanted something private but still somewhat close to town, and thought it would be a good choice. After a long trip, we walked off the dock over a small garbage littered "beach" and were "greeted" by the owner, Mike, -an unkempt... more

My husband and I booked our Dec 2008 honeymoon at Xaman Ek 6 months in advance based on great reviews from trip advisor. We were so disappointed by Xaman Ek that we left after 2 nights (we pre-paid for 4 nights) and moved to Portofino, just 10 minutes up the beach. We got 40% discounts on our Xaman Ek rooms... more

I can't say enough good things about our stay at Xaman Ek Retreat and Spa, but I will give it my best shot. It really does look like a Corona commercial (white beach, crystal blue water, docks, cabanas, quiet, etc...)! To begin, I originally found this gem of a hotel right here on TripAdvisor. When I called the facility to... more
