“Best Place in Belize”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2006

people found this review helpful

We went to belize for the 1st time, not knowing what to expect. We stayed in corzal, about 7 miles north, at the smugglers den. We have stayed in MANY 5 star resorts, this was NOT a 5 star, but the best resort we have ever stayed in. It is a nice famliy run resort, right on the beach. We had a very cute little cabin, full with kitchen, and all!! By the time we left, we felt like part of the family,ray and rosa were great to us, not to mention their 2 kids.
We stayed for 1 month, and smugglers den was very affordable, and everyone was always around to answer any questiopns we had and advise us on where to go in belize. They also have a small bar and restraunt, best bartender and food in belize, and once again very good price. Please check it out.
----
We will be back next year, but for 2 months next year.

“I didn't want to leave!”

The family and small staff at Smuggler's Den did such a great job I didn't want to leave.

Rosa's cooking is just what people say it is. "The best in Belize as far as I'm concerned." But remember to make reservations for dinner. The rooms are clean and very cozy. The locals and people living in the area were very friendly and made us feel welcome.

If you want a quiet friendly atmosphere and hate crowds than you have to stay at Smuggler's Den in Consejo, Corozal District in Belize.

“Quiet, Friendly and a Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2005

people found this review helpful

We found this place by accident at the end of our travels in Belize. We wished we had found it sooner.

Ray & Rosa have a nice spot overlooking Chetumal Bay. The rooms are very clean, the Restaurant is one of a kind and Rosa's cooking is out of this world.

If you like quiet and a low volume area than this is the place.

“Absolutely loved it!”

My husband and I actually got married at this site and the owners treated us with first class service. The beach is beautiful during the day, but at night it is simply spectacular, it was not lit from overhead but by lawn lights which made it even more romantic. Truly the Smuggler's Den has found a special place in our hearts and we can't wait to return!

“Quiet Smuggler's Den”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2005

people found this review helpful

We stayed at Smuggler's Den this past winter "2005" and just loved it. The place sits right on Chetumal/Corozal Bay, there's a sandy beach, Chetumal Mexico is just minutes away, and the place is owned and operated by a small family."Meaning there's personalized service". The service is very friendly.

They only have 4 Bungalows at the moment but I hear they have plans to expand. The newest unit "Casa Kyle" is a 2 bedroom house complete with full kitchen, sat tv, Air conditioned rooms and wireless internet. The units all sit with-in 100 ft from the water.

The roads getting you there from Corozal can be a little bumpy, but that's part of the charm.

All meals are made to order by "Rosa Wagner" one of the owners and she has customers coming back for more! Both locals and Tousist.

If you want quiet, secluded and value for your money than this is the place for you.
