We were at the Sunrise house for 7 days and really enjoyed our stay. The guys that were there for general maintenance and to act as security guards were more than kind, helpful and a joy to be around. We arrived in Belize City around 4pm picked up our rental car and drove about 3 hours or so to the... More

I debated if I should write a review or not but in the end I felt sharing our experiences may help others as they decide where to go and where to stay. First and foremost, hats off to Hector, the property "foreman" at the Maine Stay. He consistently went out of his way to insure our stay was enjoyable. A... More

It's shoulder to the helm planning on everyone's part to get all eleven of our family members (my 3 children & their families) to carve out twelve days to be all together; when it actually happens, we all REALLY want it to be the BEST time in the best place, with awe inspiring cultural (all 5 kids missing a week...

We arrived at the Mainestay after following Drew's perfect directions and were greeted immediately by attentive staff, including Karen, who came and gave us an amazing rundown of our accommodations, the surrounding area, and other information so detailed we needed to take notes! We are in the single unit, perfect for a couple, and have found nothing missing. Well planned,... More

We stayed at the Mainstay January of 2011. I just read the negative reviews for the Mainstay. I can understand the frustration of being robbed. But, tourists need to be vigilate in protecting their property anywhere you travel. The beaches in Belize have a 60ft easement for public access. That's great for taking long walks down the beach. Our party... More

In late September 2012, I had the pleasure of staying overnight at the Maine Stay Cabanas with a group of ten friends- veterinarians, vet techs, and other volunteers. We had traveled from the nearby village of Hopkins to work with the Placencia Humane Society at a two day free veterinary clinic in Seine Bight. Due to our work schedule we... More

I help coordinate veterinary clinics for the Hopkins Belize Humane Society. We planned a joint venture with the Placencia Humane Society, to offer free vet services to the village of Seine Bight, where animal care is greatly needed. Clinic days are long and hot, and can be very trying. Our team was so thankful to have the donated rooms from... More

Our family and extended family spent a week at the cabanas this past April. What a wonderful place! We were concerned about security after reading the reviews, but used common sense (just like we would at home-lock the front door when you are out back, etc.) and did not have any problems. There was not a time we did not... More
