"It was a nice spot. A little off the beaten oth"

"Very hard to report this, but the property was uninhabitable when we were there.. High-level - there was area-wide sargassum inundation. This is not unusual. Low-level - the management's choice of how to deal with the situation in their particular bay (or not deal with it), was/is pitiful. Facts: • We had a 4 night stay booked - had to leave early. • The resort was vacant. There were maybe 5-10 other people total, which I assume was due to the situation (smell). • We stayed the night we arrived because we had activities booked the next day. We did those activities all day, came back to resort to stay one more night, and left next day. • The staff was amazing!! They went out of their way to attempt to help us find peace in that insane situation. I'm certain they would like their management to attack the problem more proactively, and also they have no control over it. • We transited the coastline 4 times, and witnessed other resorts and beaches that were clear, or had MORE active clearing work underway. Reef Haven's clearing activity was non-existent. One guy in the water with a rake and a mask ....not good enough. • I'm certain that with approval, I could fix their issue in 3 days. I'd bring 3 boats of guys from San Pedro 3 days in a row, put them up in the resort overnight, and we'd clear the beach. • The rotting sargassum is toxic once it starts producing hurdrogen sulfide. We had to shelter in our room / apartment, with towels at the door threshold. "

"The property was very clean. The staff was absolutely incredible! They were extremely accommodating and did a phenomenal job of making me and my husband feel welcome. The supervisor Mitch even went above and beyond to ensure my birthday dinner was memorable by placing a candlelight dinner in the center of the resort. We loved everything about this trip and will definitely be back to visit."

"We had a great stay at Belizean Shores Resort and would definitely recommend it. The location is ideal, situated between San Pedro and Secret Beach, so both were easy to access by golf cart. It is about a 20 minute ride into town, but the area itself is much quieter and more relaxed. There are also a few good small dining spots near the property. The pool area was a highlight, with a swim-up bar, a nice hot tub, and solid happy hour deals from 3 to 5 PM daily. The staff were fantastic and very responsive, and being able to communicate via WhatsApp was super convenient. We also made use of the complimentary kayaks and rented snorkeling gear on site. The room was very clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the refillable water jug that was kept stocked. Only minor downside was the AC units outside the bedroom can be loud at night, but the hotel provides ear plugs which helped. Overall, a really enjoyable and easy stay."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Peaceful, Relaxing Stay – Highly Recommend Pros: * Quiet, laid-back atmosphere (never crowded) * Clean, spacious rooms with very comfortable beds * Strong WiFi throughout the property * Two clean, well-maintained pools * Friendly, responsive staff (easy communication via WhatsApp) * On-site restaurant with great options (pizza, octopus, burgers, breakfast) * Hammocks outside rooms – perfect for relaxing * Convenient airport shuttle (with optional grocery stop) * Dock access for boat pickups/excursions * Great spa services Cons: * Located outside the main town (golf cart needed to explore) * Beach affected by sargassum at times (common across the island) Summary: X’tan Ha Resort is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay away from busy crowds. The property is well maintained, the staff is excellent, and the overall experience is stress-free and comfortable. While it’s a bit outside town, that actually adds to the quiet vibe. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it—especially for couples or anyone looking to unwind on Ambergris Caye."
