It’s the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s new and wonderfully maintained. All staff was super attentive and helpful. They took care of us so well: taxi rides. excursions and everything we needed we got from the personnel of the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, huge bathrooms and balcony. The beach is so nice and private. We miss the Ellysian Boutique already and can’t wait be back one day

This review provides an in-depth analysis of our stay at The Ellysian.
While the property lists multiple amenities, be aware that airport transfer is not free.
The hotel offers room service and a pool bar for its guests. However, on one day during our stay, we were informed that the restaurant, room service, and pool bar would be closed. Despite the lack of these services, we were still charged the full rate for that day, which I believe should have been discounted. The following day, the pool bar remained closed as well.
We dined at the rooftop restaurant, Muna, on two occasions. The first night, I ordered the stew chicken, which I would rate 3/10, the seasoning was lacking. However, I decided to give them another try and ordered the grilled pork chop the next night, which was excellent—9/10. My wife had pasta both nights, and both dishes were solid, earning an 8/10. The first night, the temperature in the restaurant was comfortable with the AC keeping us cool. However, the second night, the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. They had the doors open, hoping for a breeze, but it never came. Despite this, Arlan provided good service.
The hotel’s location is convenient, situated on the boardwalk. Can walk the entire boardwalk in 15 minutes. Shadine was very friendly.
The bathrooms could use some renovations. The garbage can and toilet brush holder were rusted. The tiles have little chips missing out of some of them. glass door leading to the pool from our room huge crack.

We stayed at the Ellysian for a little over a week in July. The property itself is a nice small boutique hotel and has beautiful grounds. There is also a restaurant on the roof.
Our stay had a rough start as maid service let themselves in after the first night, and this wasn’t a big deal as they had just forgotten to leave us a Do Not Disturb sign. They left us a sign a few miniatures after. However, the next morning we we intruded upon again. I double checked and we did hang the Do Not Disturb sign. I went to talk to the front desk and they apologized and said they had notes we were in an excursion and had left the sign up accidentally. While they were correct about the excursion, it had been cancelled due to weather. I don’t know I had to tell the hotel every day what my schedule was. Why not just respect the door sign like other hotels? Otherwise, they should add second locks inside the room door like other hotels. That was no chance of intrusion. We also had to move rooms due to noise from roof restaurant. Final seating is 8pm but guests were up there until after midnight and we had to be up early for excursion. So no uninterrupted sleep for 4/8 nights. Also staff used our shared balcony to run food to other rooms , so no privacy there either.
Overall amazing grounds, great front desk staff (special note to them for being so kind), mediocre food, and the best location in southern Belize. But some bad policies on cleaning and restaurant hours really ruined our sleep/trip

The location is nice, the hotel is beachfront. Pool is on the smaller side. Staff was accommodating. I wasn't really satisfied with the cleanliness/upkeep of bathroom (there were cracked tiles, stained caulk, and dirty baseboards) but if they did some minor work, it would be nice.

This is hands down the best property in Placencia! All hotel rooms are air conditioned, a huge plus in the hotter months. The staff is PHENOMENAL! Above and beyond. The location is great, the pool and beach access is truly spectacular. It will be the only place we stay in Placencia!

The highlight of this hotel is the staff. The reception personnel were professional, friendly, and went out of their way to help. The evening dining was exceptional--and the person who is in charge of this dining facility is outstanding. He treats everyone like family--and is happy to provide his own suggestions on the menu options (and he is always right!). The food preparation is exceptional. A special shout-out for the bar in the pool area. Certainly, this staff person knows mixology, but more than that, she always has a smile and lets you know that she is there to help. A real asset to the Ellysian!

We really enjoyed our 2 week stay. The property is in a great location. Close to many other restaurants, stores and boutiques. Easy to walk around and explore. Jacqueline and Shinellie at reception were great at handling any issues also Venessa and Justin were very friendly awesome servers at the pool bar. Resort is very clean and the view from the Muna rooftop restaurant was second to none.

This hotel is very modern and clean look on the beach in this area compared to others. Room was very spacious with huge bathroom. Beds were very comfortable in a separate room. Location was perfect and convenient for the restaurants bars and shopping. The rooftop restaurant in this hotel was great for watching the sunset with nice atmosphere. The pool bartender, Vanessa was great! She makes the best blackberry mojito! Must try!

Everyone was genuinely nice and helpful. The front desk ladies had a lot of good recommendations for us and they went above and beyond with the card sent for my friend’s birthday. Our room overlooked the beautiful pool and ocean. I couldn’t ask for a better location in Placencia! I would definitely stay again!

Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed our stay. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and so comfortable. Everything sparkled. The staff were so kind and always making sure we had everything we needed. I had the best massage from the highest point in Placencia! The restaurant and pool bar staff were fun and took great care of us. This is my absolute favorite place in Placencia.

Incredible stay! Fantastic location with very welcoming staff. There were issues with the plumbing in the room reserved but they upgraded us to the Penthouse suite a no extra charge. This room was incredibly beautiful. A couple minor plumbing issues that were quickly rectified. They delivered a personalized note every evening and were extremely responsive. Shadine at the front desk was a very informative and kind human. Thank you for making our time in Placencia so fantastic. Strongly recommend this gem of a hotel.

This has been my favorite stay of all time (and I've stayed in countless properties.) This is 5 star service all around. First, their bartender, Vanessa, makes the best mojitos and the welcome drinks are amazing. Second, the entire front desk staff is top notch. Both with making sure we had everything we needed, managing reservations, and the amazingly personalized notes sent during turn down on a tray with a candle... I am just in awe at how many details and amenities we had during our stay. The room had everything we could ever need and the ocean view was amazing. The housekeeping staff did an amazing job at keeping the room spotless. Everyone and everything was just amazing.

I cannot say enough good things about the Ellysian and the staff! It’s a beautiful hotel on a beautiful property on the beach. The staff are amazing and went above and beyond for their guests. We spent 6 nights there and they even helped us celebrate our wedding anniversary at the rooftop restaurant Muna. I can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I visited Belize for the first time and booked The Ellysian based on all the wonderful reviews. We throughly enjoyed our stay. We have traveled a lot and both feel that The Ellysian is easily one of the best places we have ever stayed. The location is excellent. The room was excellent (we stayed in a king studio). The hotel has excellent and the staff was excellent! Jean checked is in and showed us around. She was amazing, loved seeing her smile everyday! Everyone was so friendly and nice. Marcel was great at the pool bar and restaurant, and enjoyed talking to Camille at the bar in the restaurant. We really enjoyed Placencia but we LOVED staying at The Ellysian!!

The Ellysian Hotel is a wonderful place to stay. The location is perfect for staying in the heart of Placencia Village. Facilities are very well maintained and the most eco-friendly place I've stayed at. The restaurant on the top of the building is a MUST. The food is amazing and the views spectacular. The staff was truly amazing. They greeted us by name, left lovely notes in our room in the evening and genuinely went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. This is a 5 star boutique hotel with a 10 star staff. We hope to be back soon!

A much needed relaxing vaca after the hectic holidays! Placencia is a sleepy village: no wave runners, no parasailing, no boom-boom nightclubs. Just very friendly people, excellent food, pristine beaches and lush surroundings. Perfect place to recharge!
