Houseboats in Belize

"It’s an OK hotel. Beds were good. Breakfast was good. But amenities are lacking. "

" My stay at the Pickwick Hotel in Belize City was wonderful, how accommodating the staff were. Before I arrived I messaged through Expedia and they arranged for a car to be waiting at the airport for a small fee, which made arriving in a new country very easy and stress-free. The two ladies at the front desk were amazing—friendly, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure I had a great experience. When one of my tours cancelled last minute, they quickly helped arrange something else so my day wouldn’t be wasted. Justin, who had picked me up from the airport, took me out based on what I wanted to see for a small fee, similar to any tour company. The next afternoon he took me through several local communities where I was able to eat local food and experience Belize beyond the typical tourist spots. Overall, check-in and check-out were easy, my room was clean, the A/C worked well, and my ocean-view room gave me beautiful sunrises every morning. The location was also convenient with restaurants, a supermarket, and the bus within walking distance."

"Had ocean view but no chairs on tiny patio. Upgraded our room but our friends had a way bigger room. Guess upgrade was the tiny balcony. Breakfast buffet was horrible 2 days in a row. Lunch they would not bring food out to pool area and had to go eat Chinese buffet inside. Was silly because the first day they brought out the best chicken fingers I ever had to pool chair. Dave was awesome server"

"Exactly as described. No surprises"

"We had an ocean front suite that was immaculate inside, just needs some door seals to prevent the on shore breeze mixing with the foul stench of sargasm, the workers worked hard every day trying to clear it all. We loved relaxing on the jetti on the loungers, shame they didn't have one section to fish off of, no fishing allowed on their jetti, although you could just stand in the sea if need, as its really shallow. Food was excellent, i just wished they wouldn't light the fire pit when the wind was on shore, filled the restaurant with smoke. house reef/snorkel was rather dull, recommend they take their guests somewhere slightly better. "

"The property is beautiful but I feel as though the cost does not match the experience. The pool is basic and average. They advertise their private beach but made it difficult to access. They were having engine problems with their boat and didn’t properly communicate the wait time so I waited time waiting patiently just for them to admit that they would not be able to take me over there. The manager never really had answers for any questions/issues happening on the property. The wifi on the property didn’t work during my stay. "

"Pool was nice. There’s a nice walk up bar. "

"Great location. Rooms were clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was that the beds are firm and the pillows are too big and firm. One fight in front of the hotel at 3am which we assumed was from the casino patrons. "

"This particular location was great. However, the entire Western side of San Pedro seemed to be a bit of a joke to me. There is really no access to the beach nor is there great swimming from the beach from any place on that local. We went to secret beach one day and saw that yes, there is good swimming from the beach on that side of the island but the east side should also have the access in order to enjoy that much tourism. Why do people come here without having great ocean access from the beach? For me, Costa Rica, and many of the other locals in Central America, are the right places to go if you just want to hang out and sit on the beach and go into the ocean from your location. I do have to say that the people in Belize are awesome and it’s so nice to be able to speak English in a country where there are multiple languages that people understand. I would also note that the scuba diving and snorkeling in Belize is awesome! "
