Hotels in Sanctuary Belize

"When there it was very nice. The food was okay but way overpriced. "

"We stayed here with our family of five over Christmas and had a wonderful time. We really appreciated that the hotel offered a free shuttle twice a day so that we could go to the grocery store or into Placencia. My husband and I got couples massages at the hotel spa, which were fantastic. Our three teenage kids enjoyed the beach and the pool, and loved playing beach volleyball. We really loved the breakfast at the restaurant at the hotel. Our favorite dinner, however, was at the Maya Bistro, which is a short walk down the beach. It was absolutely delicious! The hotel also made it very easy to book excursions. We went snorkeling and also took the Monkey River tour, where we got to see howler monkeys. It was amazing! We stayed in a two bedroom lagoon view room, and it was gorgeous. We loved seeing all of the wildlife from our balcony, including many different kinds of birds. The entire resort was very peaceful and laid-back, a perfect relaxing vacation. The rooms are equipped with a kitchen, which has all the basics to cook your own meals, which did save us some money. It’s also good to know that you can use American dollars or Belizean dollars in Belize. Also, if it is your first time visiting Placencia, just know that you will need to take a short flight from Belize city to Placencia. You can book on either Maya air or Tropic air. This was a wonderful first visit to Belize and we hope to be back! "

"The Ellysian Boutique hotel offers excellent location on the beach and in the middle of Placencia quaint village. The hotel manager Chantel and staff were most hospitable and kind. We highly recommend staying at the Ellysian. "

"Loved the treehouse experience, customer service and the beachfront bar. Such a neat place and would highly recommend. "

"The property is well maintained, the rooms are clean. The beach is kept clean. The water is calm and relaxing. We only stayed 1 night so did not get a chance to swim in the pools. The staff are friendly, the Rhum Shack restaurant has good food. I would definitely come back for a longer stay."

"One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in Central America"

"My recent 4-day stay at Thatch Caye Resort was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel right at home. The oceanfront cabana room was a dream—waking up to the sound of the waves and the stunning view was a highlight of our trip. We spent our days snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, and the resort’s team ensured we had everything we needed for a fantastic experience. Everyone was incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time. One of the unexpected delights was the island’s friendly dogs, who added a unique charm to our stay. If you're looking for a place to unwind and connect with nature, Thatch Caye is the perfect spot. I can't recommend it enough!"
