I went for three days with my family to Maya Beach Hotel and the room (Coconut room) had a very home-like feel to it with a deck and big comfy couches. The staff is friendly and made us feel welcomed at all times. It is a very nice hotel but not fancy or luxurious. But to me that does not... More

I've traveled the world and this is one of the very best places to stay. The experience is great, the room was great, the value exceptional. The food and drinks in the restaurant were world-class. The beach was very well-maintained. Expats though they may be, the owners make you feel as though they really want to know you, in the... More

Thanks to other Trip Advisor reviews, we chose the Maya Beach Hotel for our May vacation in Belize, which turned out to be the best possible choice! While our primary goal was scuba diving with the Whale Sharks, we were interested in Mayan ruins, local sites and my bottom line was air-conditioning since the days are 90-ish. John and Ellen...

We enjoyed a lovely stay at the Maya Beach Hotel in early February 2012. Our room (Coconut Room) was very comfortable, clean, private, and quiet, with a great view of the ocean from the deck. Staff were all friendly and courteous; Marlon was exceptionally helpful, as was Ellen, our gracious hostess. They were both very accommodating in helping us to... More

Spent 12 days in 'jr', an efficiency managed by the MBH. Perfect for 1 person. Not fancy but just right and at a very good price. The staff is friendly and efficient. They make one feel like you, the guest, are important to them. Whether setting up one of many excellent tours or providing a great meal they were the... More

Maya Beach Hotel (Accommodation review) 31st Jan to 7th Feb inclusive The studio apartment, to be fair to the hotel, is not owned by them, but only managed by them. Compact double room (OK a small double room!), kitchenette and good shower room. Just room for two people to eat in , but the decking outside is not covered –... More

We loved the simplicity of this place, the exceptional service, amazing restaurant, killer location and thoughtful amenities. The hotel is simple and not especially fancy, but it's on a beautiful stretch of beach and was perfectly clean and comfortable. Everyone working in the hotel and restaurant were friendly and professional and charming, and the restaurant was so good that we... More

We chose Maya Beach Resort because of the great reviews. We were not disappointed. Their customer service was beyond amazing.....from picking us up at the airport to arranging excursions and finally to the fantastic food. We loved the Jaguar room and the fact we were 50 feet from the sea. We were close to the restuarant and bar. Marlon aranged... More

The location right on the beach is fantastic, the beach is nice and the food served at the restaurant is very good. Mamy reviews have centered on these points already so rather than re-hash what others have said I will make other comments that may help travellers. If you are not hiring a car and like to try other restaurants... More
