My husband and I visited Turneffe in December of 2012. First - the resort: The rooms are very nice with an 'outdoor shower', a small lockbox and, surprisingly, no locks on the doors. After our initial surprise at this, we didn't give it a second thought. We never questioned the safety of our possessions. Coffee is served on your porch... More

4/20/13: So sad to be leaving our little island paradise. I have been on a number of dive trips around the world and can honestly say that Turneffe Island Resort had the best service and food of anywhere I have been. A must visit for those that haven't been there and surely a place to return to. Maya & Allen... More

We stayed a week with four other family members, then a second week with our son and daughter-in-law. All were adults. Accommodations in the villas were perfect. Food was varied, outstanding and excellent accommodations were made for two of our party with food allergies. The divemasters were the best we have ever experienced (we have logged about 200 dives). Dive... More

This has been a delayed review because we are still suffering from depression from having to leave this resort. My husband and I have been fortunate this year to take some spectacular trips and have decided that the length of the depression corellates with the degree of enjoyment. That being said, this is most like a great sleep-away camp for... More

Lovely resort with excellent service that caters to diving, snorkeling and fishing adventurists. It is very easy and convenient to participate in any or all activities. The dive and snorkel guides are safety conscious and knowledgable about the local sea life. On our trip the majority of guests were experienced divers, many repeat guests. I have a hard time equalizing... More

Lodging: We stayed in a private villa, which was quite nice, but the guest rooms were also surprisingly private and spacious. I may opt for the superior guest room next time. Diving: The trip to the Blue Hole can be rough on a windy day, but definitely worth it. Diving off Half Moon Caye was spectacular. Diving around Turneffe atoll... More

This resort lived up to our expectations, which had been set very high. The dive facilities were outstanding, with the dive guides taking care of all our gear between dives and at end of day. The dive sites (except the Blue Hole) are all located very close to the island so the surface interval can be done on the beach... More

As you shuttle from the airport to the dock, you can't help but think that its a good thing you're not staying in Belize City. The trip really begins as you head out to sea, lose sight of land, and arrive at Turneffe Atoll, about 30 miles off the coast. The place is like summer camp devoted to diving or... More

I neither fished nor snorkelled nor scuba-dived - and it was heaven on earth. I read four books and a pile of magazines on the gorgeous quiet private beach and feasted on three great meals a day. The awesome George ran the classic tropical bar on the deck of the small but immaculate swimming pool. The other guests were really... More
