Hamanasi
Superb service, breathtakingly beautiful grounds, darn good food, and a well-curated menu of offered tours all combine to make Hamansi one of the finest resorts in Belize. Diving is the main focus here, and the hotel has an excellent operation. But they offer also daily snorkeling, nature hikes, canoe trips and other inland adventures. Guests have a choice of two types of lodgings and both are delightful, with artistic tile and woodworking touches in all rooms; most have high ceilings. Those who choose beachfront rooms are housed in a couple of ocean-facing two-story buildings, (ask for a second-floor rooms for the improved view and privacy of your balcony_. There is also a series of “treehouses”: spacious individual bungalows set on stilts 3.7m (12 ft.) high in the midst of the hotel’s tiny coastal forest, just a few yards behind the main operation. While these don’t have an ocean view, they do offer a lush sense of tropical isolation. Hamanasi means “almond” in the local Garífuna language, and you’ll see plenty of the namesake hamans trees growing around the grounds.
