Great stay in San Ignacio! We loved the property, spacious and the main pool was relaxing! The staff was fantastic, everyone was super helpful, friendly and great. Julio and Christian at the front desk helped out a ton and arranged taxis for us to town, and Freddie was an awesome bartender and server! Would highly recommend

This was an amazing oasis. The grounds are lush with tropical vegetation to make you feel like you’re staying right in the rainforest.

The hotel boasts beautiful landscaping and architectural features in its common areas, promising a luxurious stay. Despite the attentive service from the wait staff, notably Freddy, and the breakfast servers, our overall experience was marred by a significant issue: a lack of running water for two consecutive nights, starting from 10 PM. This unexpected inconvenience greatly detracted from our enjoyment and comfort during our stay. What compounded our frustration was the indifference of the reception to address the problem adequately. Their offer of $32 compensation for the inability to perform basic hygiene tasks, such as flushing the toilet or showering after a long day, felt grossly inadequate given the circumstances.
Moreover, the maintenance of the hotel fell short of expectations for a five-star establishment, with noticeable areas in need of upkeep.
Although the breakfast, featuring delicious local Belizean cuisine, was a highlight, the absence of local options for lunch or dinner was disappointing. The restaurant staff demonstrated a level of service that was truly five-star.
Please note, the lack of an in-room phone system necessitating communication via WhatsApp. For people who are not familiar with it, you’ll need to download the app.
Lastly, the exorbitant charge for airport transfers, triple the local rate, was another disappointment, despite the exceptional service provided by our driver Eddy.
In summary, I would not recommend this hotel.

I will never stay here ever again. I’ve been to 5 different hotels while Ive been here. I THOUGHT this was going to be the best one since it was twice the cost of other hotels we stayed at, and it ended up being the worst one. Other then it looking pretty, the food was terrible, the water didn’t work so we couldn’t take a shower or brush our teeth, the outlet next to my bed was coming out of the wall and I couldn’t charge my phone, the lady at the front said she would what’s app message me and never did, the next morning we had an excursion pick us up at the hotel for 7:30 but they came at 7 and the front desk said they wouldn’t knock on our door to let us know and couldn’t send us a message on what’s app because they “didn’t have my number” even though I gave it to the lady at the front desk the night before. Save your money and go somewhere else. This place was terrible. Coconut row was amazing, black orchid was good, sunset breeze was good too. I would take any of those hotels 100 times before ever going back to Ka’ana.

I liked how pretty the property was. But the resort staff were either great or treated you like a dollar bill. Whoever owns this resort has trained the staff to make guests feel like they don’t matter as people only for the cash they pay

Ka'ana Resort was a beautiful, tropical resort. It was peaceful and you had the ability to have sports to yourself and your family or hang out near other guests at the pool or restaurant. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff, especially Julio, Sam, Cruz, and Jacqueline were super friendly, helpful, and professional.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The casitas we nice and quiet. The grounds are well kept. There garden was nice to see, and you can taste the food was fresh. The only thing we didn't like was the mattresses in the room were not very comfortable for us. It was very soft and didn't offer much support. Everything else was perfect.

This beautiful property is outstanding in amenities and service. We stayed in a wonderfully designed and comfortable cottage with a completely private garden and plunge pool behind it, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. The staff could not have been more helpful and courteous. It is a few miles out of town, near the Xunantunich archeologic site, so transport to town for tours and meals does involve using local taxis, which are easy to obtain on the main road and in town. Meals and transportation on site are quite expensive. Worth the distance from town for a wonderful place to end a day of exploration. HIghly recommend!

Our stay at the Ka’ana was glorious. From the exquisitely appointed room to the lush grounds to the kind attentive staff, Ka’ana started our stay in Belize perfectly. Breakfast was delicious. Be sure to make use of your outdoor shower!

We absolutely loved our stay at Ka’ana! The grounds and rooms are immaculate and the staff really went out of their way to make our stay special. They’ve thought of everything and the special touches were so intentional and so appreciated. The property is only a short ride to town which we loved. It’s close enough that it was easy to go into town after excursions and explore all that San Ignacio has to offer. The communication via Whatsapp was so helpful and made arranging everything from breakfast to a ride so easy. We’ll most definitely be staying at Ka’ana the next time we come to Belize!

Very nice property but access without car very difficult. Spacious rooms and cmfortable beds. There is no coffee marker or kettle - that´s a big minus. The biggest problem is overpriced food. Breakfast very poor - omelet, one slice of toast, 2 slices of ham, coffee and juice, no butter for 23 USD. I have never experienced such misery

Beautiful property, excellent staff. It would be better if there was a gym in the hotel. And they forgot to tell us that continental breakfast was included until the last day. But overall we had a good experience. Will go back.

We loved our stay at Ka'ana . Staff were brilliant. Enjoyed the breakfast and we ended up eating there 3 times in the evening. Highlight was the fire pits and Smores after the meal.
We just did the ziplining and cave tubing trip. Cave tubing in particular was spectacular (and other visitors said this was also their highlight). Eddie was a brilliant guide.
We really enjoyed Xanantunich. Probably shouldn't say this - but it's great to be able to climb up the structures - with a lot of Mayan ruins in Mexico (which are also amazing) you can only view rather than climb.

This was a 5 star experience throughout. The resort arranged pickup from our hotel in Belize City which was arranged with a shuttle and driver who was friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable about the area.
We were greeted upon arrival with a welcome drink, and shown to our rooms by a courteous and efficient staff member. The rooms are beautiful, with a comfortable bed, and well appointed bathroom. One of our rooms had an outdoor patio, and the other had an attached screened porch and outdoor patio.
The restaurant and bar are outstanding with excellent drinks and food. One suggestion would be to add more vegetarian entree options to the dining menu. One evening, the chef served me a specially prepared stuffed zucchini entree that was delicious. Breakfast is the best deal here in terms of choices, quantity, taste and price.
The entire property is well maintained and natural, with an organic vegetable garden that is sourced for much of the restaurant food. We didn't use the pool, but it was lovely, with iguanas hanging around!
The hotel to arrange several activities for us, which were reserved with polite and friendly guides. We thoroughly enjoyed the ATM cave tour, and the horse ride to Xunantunich ruins (both highly recommended). The Mayan cooking class at the hotel was wonderful!
The staff are outstanding and really make this a 5 star experience. They knew which activities we had planned and kept us informed of guide arrival, and made sure our breakfast was timely.

Staff wonderful, accomodations very nice. A couple of heads up 1) airport transfer is not free $20 US each way, 2) drink's and food a bit high, 3) this is an area that if you want hiking, outdoors adventure it's the correct spot, 4) the Mayan cooking class was great the two ladies doing it are very engaging 5) happy hour was good

When I was planning my trip to Belize, and I fell in love with this resort just by the pictures alone. I will say the picture does it no justice in person; this is the best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. The Atmosphere was so serene, gorgeous property, and it only gets more breathtaking when you take a walk throughout the property. They have High quality rooms some have a private patio. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, the bed was extremely comfortable. The room was spacious and clean. The cultural aesthetics were awesome. I love the fact that they took extra precautions due to covid. They made sure there is a hand washing station upon arrival at the hotel, as well they sanitize my luggage’s. Ka'ana Resort provides to their guest not only a high-quality service. Also, they are one of few hotels that allow their guest to see plan out destination dinners as well a tour of their garden to see where the ingredient for those delicious meals and drinks you have been devouring. The staff were the nicest people I have ever encountered especially at a resort. They were always friendly and asked how my stay was going every time I encountered one of them either on my way out or when I am being served. They also were able to recommend places for local attractions. They went over and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable especially housekeeping staff they were on point when it came to keeping the room tidy. I highly recommend this resort to anyone inquiring!!

Ka’ana was lovely. We stayed for our honeymoon, and the staff was amazing, helped us set up massages, excursions and a special starlight dinner for us! They room was amazing, and housecleaning was on their game! The staff remembered our names and what we were up to for the day! The only suggestion I would make would be to have a deeper menu, as a vegetarian there were not a lot of choices for me, however, the chefs were more than accommodating! In room WiFi is a bit weak jfyi.
