We stayed in the Toucan room and had a very lovely visit. The grounds are beautiful. The pool is small, but very nice and a well placed tree shades it a bit in the evening for those who burn easy. The bistro food is fantastic and has a very nice beach side setting. There is a lovely dock and quaint... more

We went to Belize for the first time after months of research and communication with realtors to look at buying investment property. So this was a fact-finding mission, mostly "business" with some relaxation built in. We knew we were not doing any tours as it wasn't in our budget and we are coming back in march for a week anyway.... more

Loved it

the beach was fabulous, just watch out for sand fleas. The hotel bistro was amazing, sassy shrimp, mojo chicken and the nut encrusted fish were our faves. I would go back for sure more

This was our first trip to Belize and Placencia was our first destination. I did my share of research and found Maya Beach Hotel. It looked perfect...right on the beach, not a huge resort and a restaurant attatched. This hotel exceeded all of our expectations. We stayed in the Jaguar room, it was quite large inside, very comfortable, clean, has... more

We absolutely loved the Maya Beach Hotel and Bistro. John and Ellen are the perfect hosts. Ellen gave us great advice in planning our snorkeling, jaguuar reserve and Monkey River trips and was on hand at dinner time to see how our trips went. John and crew at the Bistro spoiled us with the wonderful food and excellent service. The... more

After several days of high adventure in San Ignacios caving, zip-lining, and exploring Mayan ruins, we settled into Maya Beach for sun, snorkeling, quiet and pool time. John and Ellen are excellent hosts who assisted in making arrangements for snorkeling trips, our flight back to Belize City and a very special birthday dinner. We were graciously upgraded to the upstairs... more

I thought I had already written this review Maya Beach is terrific. Wonderful spot, great food and the owners really really know how to provide great service. Let me give one example of great service - we had a slight misunderstanding on booking diving trip - Ellen saw the need to fix this and did a wonderful job to correct... more

My best friend and I stayed at the Maya Beach hotel recently and we had a fabulous stay. We stayed in the Coconut room which had it's own balcony with ocean views. The room was quite large and kept spotless. The hotel restaurant is one of the best in the area (even the locals told us) and we enjoyed a... more

Ellen at Maya Beach was so helpful setting up tours for us, and the tours were absolutely wonderful - to the jungle to search for scarlet macaws, to Cockscomb Nature Preserve, and to go snorkeling. If we go again, we will definitely stay here. Very romantic and beautiful. The restaurant is fantastic and the service was too! more

Owners John and Ellen made every moment of my 10-day stay personable and a delight. The restaurant bistro has exceptional and imaginative food offerings; and the wine list is researched and extensive for Belize. Don't miss the generous fresh fish stack followed by key lime pie! Or that breakfast burrito! Hotel rooms are tastefully done but simple; and feature local... more
