Excellent stay, great and helpful check in by Miss Alford, loved the complimentary welcome hot sauce. Simple but spacious room in a good location for a quick overnight in Belize City. Appreciated the quick turnaround on laundry service even on a one night stay. Thank you!

We loved the house, a wooden mansion dating back to colonial times, and our room passing down the feeling of times lost (n°2, afcing the reception). Yes, there's construction accross the street, but this is bound to be finished in 2026. The best, though, was the reception we received by both young ladies at the front desk, both extremely nice and helpful. Thanks!

We stayed twice during our visit to Belize, as book-ends, in order to coordinate our flights. The staff was wonderful, the room was very nice, the grounds were clean, as well as the lovely pool area. The room was clean. The only complaint is that the restaurant was a bit less than we expected. It was fine, but the selections were a bit limited.

We did not expect to be able to check in several hours early, but our room was just about ready, which we were so glad of! The room was exquisitely clean and the A/C was magically cool. I enjoyed the porch swing, the poolside beer, and the attentive service over my delicious breakfast the next morning. The complimentary bottle of Marie Sharp's hot sauce was a wonderful touch!

The staff at the front counter were so nice and helpful with all our questions. Room was spacious and clean. Just unfortunately the hotel construction across the street was a little noisy but nothing that was terrible and obviously out of their control
