“Was going to write it off but better than expected....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012 via mobile

I would start by saying this is not my first choice. We were relocated to this hotel bcos the hotel I booked did not open as scheduled and the management basically chose not to inform us (even I wrote to confirm a week or two before flying). And, do not book airport transfer if you stayed around the area, taxi fare was USD$5 oneway while hotel charged USD$25. To add insult injury, the original hotel I booked (sands villas, next door) told me to grab the taxi at the airport and have front desk paid for the cab ( which of course, I ended up double pay and who is going to fight for the $5.). So, the room, when we arrived, hotel room not ready. Kitche was dirty, I wouldn't use the oven, the bed sheets had stains (were white). No wifi in the room only lobby. The girl in the lobby didn't know the password and not familiar with the concept of wifi password. Pain in the neck to get connected. The hotel looks reasonably maintained outside but the furniture are dated and rust in the bathroom, smell funny (the towels seemed to smell chlorine. ) The room had two beds, beach front, but no chairs. House keeping is every few days. The second time, they came in, put new bed sheets, covers, and cleaned the room, the room then looked much more comfortable or clean (even folded our messy clothes). If only they have done that on the first day, experience would have been very different. Now, I think the staff in general are very friendly, in facts, I think belizeans are friendly in general. The walking distance to the town is short, so I would say that is a big plus. We rented golf cart once, roads are bumpy. Restaurant was new, some dishes are better than others. Chef is friendly.
I don't know if I have overpaid, I was paying for a room but brand new but I got a dated one bedroom. But, I think it is cheaper around here than the southern end.

Stayed December 2012, traveled as a couple

“great staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

Lucia and Cesar were great! So was Sandra. Loved the location and the pool area. Our room, while not five star, was nice and any issues were fixed right away. The resort could benefit from replacing sheets as mine had stains. But, this is a small complaint. Very relaxing and nice stay!

“Vacation in hell”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

The first thing you know when enter the room is the horrible smell of fungus, like this place never sees the fresh air. In the next days all your clothes will smell the same. The pool is small and badly cleaned so after some time expect to have ugly rad rash all over your body. And I warn you don't complain to the management about any inconvinenses, because in the best case scenario they just will tell u to [--] off... Horrifying holidays , thanks to those guys. Will not recommend this place even to the worst enemy.

“Great Place to stay while in San Pedro!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

Wonderful hotel right on the ocean. The grounds are beautiful and are very well kept. The pool is nice, the pool bar is nice,the casino was nice which is in the front lobby, the chairs and tables on the sand are very nice I spent some time their. This place has security so that felt good. The staff is very helping especially Sandra at the front desk.They even have two parrots right off to side when you leave lobby and come on the grounds. The rooms are nice and clean also. Everyone including the other residents were nice. It is close to alot of restaurants, the airport and shopping. There is even a fruit stand right across the street. This is a great place to stay for a cheaper cheaper price.

“If only the management were as nice as the property”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

The Belize Yacht Club is in the perfect location, their security is fantastic, friendly and helpful. The grounds are stunning. They offered long term and short term rentals. Now it is only short term rentals and over nights. The pool is very nice, the pool bar is fun and the residents are awesome. The rooms are nice for a hotel stay because they are large one-bedroom and two-bedroom options.

The problem we ran into was observing how management dealt with residents, it was atrocious. Yelling, screaming, calling in the police, forcing their security guards to not let residents pass, unclear communication and problems with people who stay there. There were weeks that management did not pay their staff, but continued to build on their new building next door. There is principle involved in renting here. Make sure you get receipts and make sure everything is in writing. Rates change frequently.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from the street and the alley if you need a full night's sleep. Mistake on...

SergioTorres, Director of Sales at Belize Yacht Club, responded to this review
November 29, 2012
We are sorry ro affect other guests but unfortunately some foreigners are breaking the law and the Government of Belize is pressuring us to be in compliance with the law. Owners of three resorts on the island were robbed and sold their house and purchased a house at the Belize Yacht Club because of the security and how safe they feel with us.

Our resort continues to be one of the nicest resorts on the island. The location is a breathtaking 10 minute walk to town. The grounds are impecable, the units are well maintained and unfortunately we cannot control what people post on this site.

We appreciate all the positive feedback from our guests who have stayed with us and experienced our great service and wonderful staff who has been with us for years.
