The property is under construction. Noise of the machines started around 7:00 AM. Hammer drills were used on the side of the building all day long. The construction materials and debris were stored just outside our door.
The staff while friendly, were only able to give us two bath towels and 1 roll of toilet paper for out unit. When out, we had to go ask for more at the front desk. There was never any bottled water in the lobby for us to fill our water cups. It felt like the management was trying to account for every penny.

We had dinner at the restaurant our first night and I know people that own condos here and I know the owner-however the Chef/Waiter at the restaurant CHARGED US DOUBLE for what should have been ONE SEAFODD PLATTER-there was not enough food for 2 people--we had 2 small lobster tail, one scoop of rice, one serving of vegetable and 8 SHRIMP. I live in Belmopan and this should have been $75 BZD not the $150 BZD were charged and I complained to the owner who said she would take care of it--however went to go check out today and NOPE THE CHARGES WERE ON OUR BILL ---honestly this kind of customer service that is not okay for anyone, especially for Belizean locals!! The picture is what I was charged $150 BZD--not worth it!!

Food and the service

The resort is well developed. The interior is a bit antiquated but clean and functional. The resort has organized everything needed to travelers, ie.. golf cart rental (on property) WiFi passwords, on site restaurant and bar ( great food) , swimming pool and a/c unit that works great, transportation to and from the airport (additional fees) and an on site convenience store. A major plus that we didn’t realize until the end of our trip was that the resort operated on a super quiet generator. The island during our trip encountered multiple days and hours without electricity. At the resort we never were inconvenienced due to the loss of power in the area. We respectfully turned off our lights and a/c when we went out exploring the island and can’t imagine trying to sleep without a/c. The staff is friendly and treated us like royalty. This was our first stay at the resort and would stay there again without hesitation.

The location is probably 4 miles from the town of San Pedro. The cabanas was nice and our location was right on the beach. You must rent a golf cart for your entire stay - to get to restaurants groceries, etc.
They was a restaurant on site but the the service is miserably slow and attention to detail is nonexistent. If you like quiet accommodations and far from San Pedro this is your place. Not sure if the swimming pool is fit to swim but during our 5-day stay we only saw one guy swimming there. The room was clean but I would classify it as basic accommodations.

When we came 8 years ago there were more amenities. We were a little disappointed to see that they no longer had the swim-up bar overlooking the water and you couldn't charge anything to your room. You always have to have your money with you. Lots of construction and changes happening. They should at least warn anyone trying to book. Overall, we still enjoyed our time there. Hard to have a bad time on Ambergris Caye.

We had a beautiful view of the sea from our porch. The 1 bedroom suite was very spacious and comfortable. The beach was clean but we didn't realize it would have a sea wall and you could not enter the water easily plus it was rough water.
There was construction next to the Captain Morgan pool and restaurant which made it a bit dirty and ugly. However, the breakfast deal was a great option at $65 per person for the entire week.
The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Our oceanfront cabana was great and had a beautiful view. Only issue we noticed was the bathroom ceiling tile is falling. A portion of the resort is under remodel, overal resort needed love. Can feel some kind of really hard surface under the sand (need more sand brought in), the grounds could be so beautiful but doesnt appear a lot of effort is put into it or maybe just really understaffed. They let us check in early which was very nice. The staff was friendly, there is a store there which is nice since you're a little ways from town but wouldnt say they are very friendly. Restaurant was subpar. Only ones there and still messed up my husbands order but in all fairneas only ate there once. Pool was nice, we used the one at Oceans 23 (next door) which is better kept then the 2 at Capt. Morgans. For the price it was an ok stay, it is a little ways from town, some road construction, lots of speed bumps

Overall, we really liked the two story cabana which was great for a family of four to have some room to spread out. The view from the balcony was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly (which you'll find all over Belize). The reason we gave this a lower rating was because when we checked in, the receptionist said, "We recommend that you not swim on our beach because the Sargassum grass in the water may cause health issues." That would have been very good information to know before we booked this place!!! We ended up having to rent a golf cart to drive several miles over to secret beach for the 'only' place without Sargassum. Secondly, the first night we had their fish special at the hotel restaurant and it didn't have a price on it. The fish was excellent but we were still hungry after, then the bill came for $150 USD (which only had two beers). Between the unusable beach and the overpriced dinner, it put us in a bad frame of mind on this Caye being a tourist trap. I'll re-iterate that the staff was awesome and the grounds are beautiful.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom. Everything was very clean. Staff was helpful and friendly at checkin and throughout our stay. There is a small convenience store on site with snacks. This was a nice location, as it is in between town and secret beach.

Great property. Friendly staff. Amazing view from the beach-facing cabanas. The only surprising negative was that the water was murky.

Location is in the middle between san pedro and secret beach, but there is not good places to eat around, and the food at the hotel restaurant and service is not good. The beachfront cabaña is good.

All the staff from the reception area to the restaurant were very friendly. The main pool had construction going on but was beautiful to have breakfast at the pool. The other pool, which belongs to the adjacent resort on property was absolutely breathtaking. You could walk into the pool just as if you were from the shoreline to the ocean, which I loved. No steps to get in and out of the pool.
My beach front cabana room was very comfortable and had all the necessities required, including a nice front patio

I like that it had beautiful rooms with options to have a kitchen to make your own meals when needed. The construction wasn't great, but excited for the renovations to come. Wish the casino had been back open too.

Rustic but comfortable accommodations that offered a great view of the water and reef. Lovely staff!

The hotel is beautiful and the staff is really nice and friendly, the only 2 things I would recommend are: 1. The wifi often comes and goes when you’re in your room. 2. There’s no way you can communicate with front desk unless you walk all the way towards it, and some of the villas are not that close.
4.0
The thing that was bad is no where but one place to go in the ocean. No beach entry anywhere at any hotel. That is what people go for.

Incredibly friendly staff and an excellent location, because it is halfway between San Pedro town and secret beach. Restaurants on site and nearby, and tours will pick you up at the resort, with snorkeling leaving from the resort. The view is spectacular. The only complaint is that the room did not have a microwave, which we knew it wouldn’t but is still a lack. Casino closed for Covid-19 but all else operating as normal. Grocery store on site

Captain Morgan was perfect for our trip. The family cabana is right on the beach. The pools are large and the staff is friendly.

The staff was friendly, helpful and caring. The staff is what really saved our stay. We paid for 2 ocean front rooms so we could have easy access to the beach, but because of the seagrass "infestation" the beach was inaccessible and the smell was almost unbearable. We had to rent, and pay for, a golf cart daily so we could escape to a different area.
The rooms are acceptable and clean, not resort status. There are 2 pools that are not for the hotel guests to access, they should not be pictured or advertised as part of the hotel then. Overall we had a relaxing time but the hotel and beach were a disappointment.

Looks recently remodeled. Very nice. Our porch looked right off to the ocean. Property well maintained. Staff was attentive and very pleasant. Close to the center of the city for local foods. Will stay here in the future.

We stayed in cabins 22, right on the beach. It had a very comfortable bed and the views were unimpeded! We fell asleep to the sounds of the waves and the oceans breeze every night. The cabina is perfect for two people with a small fridge and a coffee maker. We liked to sit on the small deck and read or hang out.
There are three pools on the property though at one point, the bartender told us two of them were reserved for owners. We used them anyway since they were advertised. Important to note that the ones with the swim-up bar are NOT staffed. So expect to walk to the other pool to get your drinks.
Staff was friendly though inconsistent on information. On Tuesday nights, the restaurant has a nice buffet of local foods with vendors there to sell trinkets and live reggae music. No one told us about it but we did hear about it from another guest. Sadly, it was poorly attended. Better communication of what is available to guests would be appreciated.
Location of the resort is close enough to town without being too far away. Any further than 2-3 miles N of the bridge (or N of here) is far with road conditions.
Recommended to rent your golf cart from the resort! It is a few dollars more than getting one in town but there is only one gas station on the S side of town and getting back and forth to it on return day is a PAIN and a loss of valuable vacation time!
Special thanks to Keiner at the front desk and to Matt in the restaurant.
Overall, we had a nice stay.

Enjoyable, relatively quiet, beautiful setting, close to the water. Everything was great! Not a 5 star for US standards but certainly for this beautiful island. 2 concerns, nothing terrible, just know you are on a small “island”. The water pressure was low but always had hot water. The other concern was the proximity to your neighbors. We stayed in the Premium Cabanas. The views and proximity to the water made it up for it. The retreat is 3 miles from San Pedro. Very happy for that as San Pedro is very noisy. You will need a golf cart regardless. There’s lots to explore while taking a day off from diving. Will definitely stay here again.
