Maya Beach Hotel is a ways from Placencia but has so much to do on site that you never want to leave anyway. The Bistro at the hotel, and Chef John, provide probably the best eating in Belize. Don't miss it. Ellen is usually at the front desk and greets you with a smile, takes care of any needs, and... More

If you are looking for a spots where the staff and owners (John and Ellen) are friendly and very helpful, the accommodations are clean and reasonably priced, this is a great option. We stayed 5 nights in the upper level of the Dreamsicle House and it was lovely...not fancy but really comfortable. The front deck has great ocean breezes and... More

Amazing food, beautiful relaxing beach, comfortable rooms. But the best part is the staff and the owners - they make you feel right at home. Highly recommend a snorkel trip to Silk Caye. And if you can pull yourself away from the Maya Beach Bistro (tough to do - the food is that good), we liked the tamales from Brenda... More

In my opinion the Maya Beach Hotel & Bistro is the BEST & ONLY place to stay in southern Belize. The owners and staff are fabulous & friendly. You can't ask for more. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun, sand & sea. Then there's the Bistro. The food is absolutely amazing and the locals agree! We... More

The Maya Beach Hotel is the perfect choice for a relaxing, welcoming and delicious getaway. We stayed in the Toucan Room--clean and roomy with a view of the sunrise over the sea each morning--dreamy! It was only steps to tidy beach with chairs and hammocks just waiting. We took advantage of the free kayaks and paddled around in the sea... More

Maya beach really is a lovely place to spend your time relaxing. We were only going to stay a couple of days but straight away tried to add on more days . Unfortunately they were booked up ( not surprised) so we were only able to spend a few nights there. The owners and the staff were so accommodating towards... More

Maya Beach is the ultimate choice if you are looking for a place to relax and eat terrific food. The area is totally laid-back.....a throw back to what so many Caribbean get-aways were like many, many years ago. This is a great hotel with a beautiful beach, the most helpful and friendly staff you could ask for, and a has... More

We stayed 5 nights in Maya Beach area north of Placencia, Belize. We rented the top half of a beach house called Upper Dreamsicle. It was the best two bedroom place w/ an amazing deck facing the sea. Very clean. Not a bug. In fact, we never saw one mosquito the whole time. The Maya Beach Hotel gave us starter... More

What a perfect spot! We stayed in the Jaguar Room, which was great-walked out of our room and right onto the beach. The staff, especially Marlon, was great-very friendly and helpful. Make sure to take a kayak and paddle around the nearby mangrove island-go on a calm day. The food at the bistro was quite good, and I especially loved... More

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Maya Beach Hotel. The free kayaks, amazing views, and hammocks everywhere were just a few of our favorite things. Ellen and Marlin helped us with a multitude of questions and could not have been better hosts for our visit to Belize. Chef John at the attached Bistro amazed us each... More
