The 5 best Belize all inclusive resorts
1. Hamanasi Adventure & Dive Resort
Hamanasi Resort is a uniquely designed rustic-chic boutique hotel that honours and protects its natural habitat. The resort is considered one of the top dive resorts in Belize, having won multiple awards and accolades. As a PADI 5-Star Dive Center, Hamanasi is known for its Belize diving packages, however, it also attracts families seeking adventure and cultural activities, and couples looking for a romantic getaway on the beach.
Hamanasi’s location in Hopkins also makes it a popular travel destination, since the unique Garifuna Culture of Belize is very prominent there. For those interested in learning more about the Garifuna, this is best done through tours that include fishing, cooking, and drumming. While there, look out for my favourite Garifuna meal: Hudut, it’s a delicious fish coconut stew.
2. The Lodge at Chaa Creek
Chaa Creek Resort is one of the best jungle lodges in Belize and it’s known as a green tourism pioneer around the world. As an eco-conscious luxury resort, Chaa Creek has won many awards and recognition for its sustainable tourism efforts, including being recognized as a Nat Geo World Legacy Award winner in 2017 for its direct contribution to the economic and social well-being of Belizeans.
The Lodge at Chaa Creek is located on the banks of the Macal River in a nature reserve near San Ignacio, Cayo and offers families and couples a variety of educational and fun on-site activities such as a Natural History Museum and butterfly garden, wildlife and birding tours, hiking and mountain biking trails, and horseback riding adventures.
3. Coco Plum Island Resort
If you’re looking for an all-inclusive adults-only resort in Belize, Coco Plum Island Resort is a great choice. The resort is located off the coast of Dangriga and offers the perfect Southern Belize island getaway for couples and friends looking for romance or some bonding time together.
The island resort consists of a restaurant, bar, and a few beachfront cabanas, which makes visitors feel like they’re secluded on a small remote island in the Caribbean. Fun things to do around the island include fishing, diving, and snorkeling tours, as well as ‘lighter’ adventures such as kayaking and standup paddleboarding. For those looking to relax, spending time on the beach, in a hammock or getting a beach massage is recommended.
4. Las Terrazas Resort
Las Terrazas Resort offers beautiful island-style villa accommodations on the beach in North Ambergris Caye. The resort caters to families and couples looking for adventure and relaxation, and it is consistently rated highly for offering amenities such as spacious rooms, a modern kitchen, and in-room laundry. Additional amenities include a world-class restaurant and bar, a private beach and pool, plus access to kayaks and paddle boards.
Las Terraza is ideally located in one of the most popular destinations in Belize. Ambergris Caye, in fact, has been voted twice as the best island in the world by TripAdvisor travelers. As you can imagine, this popularity is due to the island’s natural beauty, a couple of highlights include the world-famous Great Blue Hole, and the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, which is easily considered one of the best snorkeling spots in Belize.
5. Chabil Mar Villas
Chabil Mar Villas is located in the picturesque coastal village of Placencia offering chic villa-style accommodations on the beach. Aside from offering gorgeous views of the Caribbean Sea, the resort provides guests with over 400 feet of private beachfront and several amenities such as a restaurant, bar, and swimming pool.
Although guests staying at Chabil Mar are removed from the ‘somewhat busy’ downtown of Placencia, the resort still benefits from being the closest resort to the center of the village. As a result, guests are always within walking distance from where there are tons of activities happening and can easily escape it if they ever need to.
Bonus: Pelican Reef Villas in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye
For those interested in an all-inclusive destination wedding in Belize, Pelican Reef Villas offers special beach wedding packages in beautiful Ambergris Caye. TripAdvisor has rated the resort as one of the best small hotels in Belize.
The basic Ambergris Caye all-inclusive wedding package at Pelican Reef Villas starts with all that is needed for a Belize wedding: accommodations and a private ceremony on the beach. However, additional items can be added on request.
What does all inclusive mean in Belize?
Typically, all inclusive in Belize means that hotel rooms, meals, on-site activities, a few excursions, and transportation within the country are included in a travel package. It’s great for anyone that wants a hassle-free approach to travel. However, international flights, booze, and unlimited excursions aren’t usually included in all-inclusive deals. The reason for this is that Belize does not cater to mass tourism and most hotels are small, independently owned, and located in or near communities.
Hopefully, you have enjoyed this list of all inclusive places to stay in Belize. Each hotel has unique features, which allow for a great experience in Belize.
