Book Cheap Hotels in Cayo Espanto

"Belize has been on my bucket list of places to travel. The opportunity to visit was presented to celebrate my son’s 13th birthday and my partner’s birthday since they both enjoy snorkelling, diving and being in the sea. We booked our trip to stay at Alaia Autograph as it was listed as a 4.5-5 star hotel. My family and I were displeased with the inability to swim in the sea from the beachfront due to the sargassum which was not being managed properly as it was building up on the beachfront. You couldn’t even take the kayaks out because it wasn’t maintained. We went on two snorkelling excursions( Mexico Rocks & Hol chan marine reserve); which we enjoyed and got great footage of wildlife. Other than that going to San Pedro was disappointing, who goes to the Caribbean to only swim in a pool. The hotel promotes/advertises activities like kayaking and paddling and we weren’t able to do that. A luxury property should be transparent about beach conditions and provide alternatives when advertised amenities like kayaking are blocked. We expressed our concerns to hotel management and received a mediocre response. They suggested us to go to Secret Beach which we did but to go there every day which is over 2hr drive round trip was not worth it. Also there’s a lack of entertainment in the evenings at the hotel. Not interested in going back to there."

"The staff was super attentive and friendly for the most part. Any requests we made were handled rather quickly. I personally think the restroom in our cottage could’ve be more clean, specifically the shower."

"The property is in the vicinity of lots of restaurants. I highly recommend Garifuna Soul Food Restaurant. I had a King Room Deluxe which had a full kitchen with anything you need to cook, store and reheat your food. Thus room type really allows you to ger comfortable and store your belongings away. The concierge was very helpful with recommending dining options like Sweet Tutz. The food there was very authentic and reasonably priced! 1 of 2 pools on-site was open for most days of my stay. There is NO beach access from this resort. The phones were not working during my stay but the staff came to my room if they needed to relay a message to me which was helpful. I never dined at the property. The staff was kind and accommodating. The resort was very quiet so, I was able to rest well. I visited in May as a solo guest."

"Clean room , staff"

"We had a great time at the resort. We had a mishap but the staff immediately rectified the situation. Everyone was pleasant at the resort. I would definitely stay there again."

"Great place to stay. Close to everything. Great pool bar. Great food. Great staff. 💗"
