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

Wonderful and attentive staff. Beautiful hotel and lovely grounds. Walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Love it

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 staff was extra nice and accommodating!
