The staff were very cheerful, helpful and friendly which made up for their seeming "newness" to the hospitality industry. The hotel is split in two by the road from Placencia, which some day will be paved, in the meantime it is one of the roughest "main" roads I've ever been on. Currently only the ocean side buildings are used for... more

Having returned to Belize in Placencia, The resort has evolved so much since its opening. The resort is stunning, rising sun over the ocean and the sunset over the lagoon and maya mountains are a delight. The service is excellent and staff ever so friendly and efficient. The food really reflect the region. The appartment suites, are very spacious and... more

We booked here last minute because Mexico H1N1 warnings . ALL INCLUSIVE WAS NOT A GOOD DEAL. Food was ok, but not great and varied in availability. ("Sorry no ceviche." "Oh we ran out of coconut milk, so no pina colada's today") Staff were adorable local kids, but not very well trained or efficient. If you're on island time, it's... more

The breakfast menu could be improved: wheat bread, continental fare for those who do not want scrambled eggs and pork sausage. Cereal and fresh juice. Bed size and comfort of the mattress could be improved. There was nothing to was dishes with in the rooms. more

I'm just back from a 6-day stay at Bellamaya and had an amazing time. I'll start with the very few negatives: it is a big of a haul to the village, but there are ways to get there and they have pretty much everything you'd need there. And the water at the beach is cloudy with sand (because it is... more

We stayed at Bellamaya for 7 nights. The resort was very nice. We were very pleasantly surprised by our 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. About 30 steps from the ocean, pool and spa right off of our patio - absolutely stunning property. Negatives: 15 minute taxi ride from town ($20 US each way total); large spa outside was not working;... more

We stayed at Bella Maya Resort for 8 nights in March 2009 during our children's school break. We were very pleased with everything there. To begin, the beautiful suites - right on the beach were pristine (marble tiles, granite countertops, ceiling fans & ac...even fresh flowers tucked in the towels when we arrived). The restaurants offered an abundant selection for... more

We stayed for 2wks, thoroughly loved every moment! -staff were very attentive and helpful. - The restaurant served excellent international cuisine. - the apartment was very spacious, modern with amazing views! -great swimming pool right on the beach -some issues with organising the tours but they were great fun. -have recommended to friends and family. more

As someone not fond of creepy crawlies, cleanliness was great relief. Big showers, VERY nice rooms, clean sheets, etc. and housekeeping service good. Get a suite on the Caribbean side for sure. (not sure the Lagoon side rooms are even finished). The rooms open up right to the deck/beach/pool. We got a great rate as the place was practically empty...much... more
