We stayed in the flip-flop palace and loved it. The location is beautiful, though somewhat remote (not really walkable from Placencia). The rooms were beautifully appointed, and the AC was high quality and working! Besides the restaurant onsite, there are 2 or 3 other good options (at least in the off-season) within walking distance, but they would definitely get old... more

We have stayed at this hotel twice and will definitely be back. The rooms are great, the location incredible and the food at the Bistro by far the best I have had in the Caribbean/Central america. John and Ellen make great hosts and have managed to create a real gem here on the beach. They can organize anything and the... more

My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights at the Maya Beach Hotel during our week long trip to Belize (Aug 09) and we had an amazing time! The hotel is warm and welcomming with a beautiful indoor/outdoor restaurant and small pool - all perfectly situated on the beach. When we started our trip, the Maya Beach Hotel was our only... more

Excellent food and accommodations. Would highly recommend the Agua Villa house for a family with children. Private pool and deck right on the beach is priceless. If you are looking for nightlife it's a long way to placencia (15-20 minutes by cab) and you may be happier there if that's what you're after. The atmosphere at maya beach is quiet... more

For the last three years, I have been going to the Maya Beach Hotel. Over that time, I have stayed a total of about two and a half months. I've been there for work with a colleague, I've been there for a family vacation, and I've been there just to relax with a friend. I've stayed in two of their... more

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

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
