Thank you John and Ellen for accomodating and assisting our assorted wedding guests and family over the wedding week. Alison loved her 'Flip Flop Palace' with it's stunning view and relaxing location. We particularily appreciate the extra attention you provided to the Bride and her Bridesmaids the night before the wedding day. Then again to the Bride and Groom following... More

I enjoyed our recent stay at The Maya Beach Hotel. We stayed in the Hibiscus room. The room was a good size, clean and in a great location. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The location of the Maya Beach Hotel can be a good thing, or a bad thing depending on what you want. If you are... More

This time stayed in aqua villa. Great house. Unbelievable views, super pool & jacuzzi. Maya Bistro Hotel is the best - great staff, ambiance & food. Tried a few new dishes - squid/calamari stuffed with shrimp - big thumbs up. Thanks for a relaxing, mellow, safe & comfortable vacation once again MBH staff! Warmly, Judy

We were so happy with our stay here. We really needed a relaxing uneventful vacation and that's what we found. We were usually the only ones on the beach and felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. The staff was so friendly and the food was some of the best we have EVER HAD. We are all looking...

My wife and I recently visited Plancecia on our vacation. We were lucky enough to stay with relatives but we did enjoy the food, beach and swimming pool at the Maya Beach hotel vertually every day. The people at the Bistro restaurant are awsome (especially Lisa and Avi!!). Being a sun lover, my wife found out that if you visit... More

You cant go wrong by staying here. a good variety of accommodations to be had here between the hotel and suites next door. They were very accommodating to my last minute needs. The gracious owners, Ellen and John are always helpful. The restaurant is second to none, and if you don't want a restaurant setting, head over to Mangoes bar.

Maya Beach was incredible. Spotless rooms, professional staff, soothing tropical breezes, the smell of fabulous cuisine wafting across the beach as you sip an ice cold beverage under a palm tree. This weekend was an answer to prayer for this workaholic.

When traveling sometimes you land in places where you feel everything is so close to nature and authenticity, or you meet people whose concern is your satisfaction and not your wallet. Well Maya Beach is one of those. We just stayed for one night but I can assure you this was enough realising that we were in a nice, no... More

The Maya Beach hotel was a wonderful place to base from while we explored the southern costal area of Belize. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We met one of the owners, Ellen, on our first afternoon, and chatted with her multiple times during the course of our stay. She is always there greeting people and making sure they... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Sitting on a pretty stretch of natural sand beach, the Maya Beach Hotel is a very small property for someone who needs comfort, but not luxury. Our five rooms are air conditioned with queen beds and nice beach views, and we also offer some beach house rentals in different price ranges. Our Bistro and swimming pool are a gathering place at the end of a day filled with snorkeling, diving, fishing, kayaking, jungle hiking, spelunking, climbing Maya ruins, or just plain relaxing on the beach. The Bistro was also recently awarded "Restaurant of the Year" by the Belize Tourism Board. ... more   less
