We stayed at this hotel for just one night before departing Belize. There are just a few hotels on the Belize City water front. I was looking for something upscale, safe, within the walking distance of the restaurants, and with secure parking. This hotel seemed to fit the bill. Almost. Belize City has but a few street signs. However, the... more

After finishing a week on a liveaboard dive boat, we were planning to transfer directly to Blackbird Caye on Turneff Atoll, but that resort had other plans, so it put us up in the Great House for one night. It was an excellent break. We had the room right around the corner from the front desk. Our room was huge... more

I just recently came back from a trip to Belize. The most important thing about the Great House was that it felt safe. Sure, there were people that stood outside the hotel and asked if you needed a taxi, wanted a tour, wanted to buy a wooden boat. In the evenings, we would see a guard walking in the front... more

The Great House stay was a nice experience for our first 4 days in Belize. The staff was very friendly and courteous and our room was large and clean. The Smokey Mermaid was a bit pricey, but after we checked around the immediate area for other decent restaurants, we discovered that it wasn't so bad. We had a/c and a... more

We only had one night at The Great House but it made a great impression. It was a relaxing end to a hectic day of travel and then in the morning was in a great location for a walk along the water as well as a quick walk to the Water Taxi to the Cayes. Great bargain too. more

My adult daughter and I stayed at The Great House when we were in Belize City this past March. I thought by staying there instead of the neighboring Radisson, we would have more of a sense of a real Belize hotel and not an American chain. The management of The Great House must have made an effort to hire the... more

We stayed at The Great House on our final night of an 8 day journey around Belize, and loved the feel of the place. It has old world charm, but modern conveniences. Belize City is not a destination in itself, but The Great House is a wonderful jumping off or ending point during a trip to Belize. A walk down... more

We stayed at the great house for the last night of our trip to Belize. We stayed with our two boys(5 and 7) and had a great time. It is a very beautiful inn. Our room was very spacious, with two queen beds, large t.V, air conditioning(very quiet), and a spacious bathroom. The rooms are decorated all different and are... more

After spending hours online trying to straighten out a mix-up in our reservation, we arrived at the Great House to find that they had given us a room that was set up for two and we had paid extra for a party of four. It was a tight fit and we could not even open the closet with the cot... more

We had a delicious meal at The Great House Restaurant. We sat outdoors by a fountain among lovely plantings. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when we noticed that we had two different menus. They had a new printing. We suggested it might be less confusing if all people at the same table have the same menues. The service... more
