    Everything was good. Just a little advise, you should put a second set of dark curtains in case you want to take an evening nap to cover the room windows.Its difficult to rest with all the light coming into the room.

    Everything, clean, room, public areas, pool, clean beach regardless the seaweed people were very nice at all times.

    Restaurant had staffing issues 😕 but bar tender lend help to serve. Location was very remote if that was what you were aiming for.

    The hotel and facilities were great. The staff was excellent 👌 super helpful even before arrival. Communicating with us from the beginning to end to ensure all our needs were met.

    I liked everything.

    was so lucky to find X'Tan Ha Resort. Even before I arrived, the staff was very attentive, answering questions to help me better prepare for my trip. Once I was there, everyone was extremely friendly (from front desk to restaurant & bar staff), offering additional information about snorkeling spots to help me decide on which tours to take, then setting up those tours for me. There's a dock at the hotel where Tuff E' Nuff Tours will pick you up, which is very convenient. The on-site restaurant (indoors & outdoors seating on the water) was good and offered a variety of options. You can rent a golf cart to go to nearby restaurants and a little market about 15 minutes from the hotel (give or take). We stayed in the ocean front room where the views were amazing. I loved hanging out in my hammock. It's such a quiet and peaceful location. The room was spacious and very clean, with a kitchenette. Pick up some groceries on your way in, book snorkeling tours from the dock, eat at the bar/restaurant on the water, get a massage from Rose on the beach (she was so good!), and rent a golf cart for quick excursions. It's the whole package!

    Honestly the stay was great overall and we would stay here again. The only thing was that the bed was huge but really really soft and we slid to the middle every night. The other thing was the restaurant and bar are separate from the resort. The dinner menu was limited and seemed expensive for the quality of food. But they have a great lunch menu. Try the conch fritters!

    This is a great property! We had an oceanfront view and our balcony faced the beach. Our room had most everything we needed to cook our own meals. The room was clean and tidy. We needed a few things for the kitchen and the staff was quick to acquire them for us. We booked our golf cart through the resort. It was more expensive than getting it in town but they filled the tanks daily with fuel and we didn't have to pick up or return in town so worth the convenience. A little advice for the first time visitors.... take the taxi service to the hotel. The road is bumpy and a long 7.2 miles from san pedro in a golf cart. Our driver allowed us to stop and grab groceries which was a great time saver. The nearest grocery store is about 25 minutes away in a golf cart. You can book excursions directly through the property or through the many tour companies. We booked 2 through Scuba Daze which was only 20 minutes from the resort. They were super personable, reasonable, and closer than going all way to san pedro.

    We were hoping for more of a beach front instead of all the seaweed but it was still very pretty

    We liked the quietness of the resort and the staff were amazing!!! The staff helped us with renting a golf cart and booking our flights to the island. The pools were quiet. Our room was facing the sea and it was beautiful to sit out on our balcony. The food in the restaurant was delicious!!! To be able to see stingrays and fish right on the beach was also pretty cool. We had a golf cart which is important as we got to see more places and beaches.

    Our bed was too firm for me. My husband didn't mind, but I found it uncomfortable. I ended up spend the whole week on the futon pull out. It was softer and more comfortable for me. I was sad to miss out on sleeping with my spouse in the king size bed, but relieved there was a way for me to get some sleep. Only other downside is that the road getting to the hotel is very rough so it makes getting into town a long ordeal. Not a deal breaker, but good to know.

    Beautiful property, nice staff, good food at the restaurant, relaxing atmosphere, large rooms, great view.

    No screens in the windows so you can’t leave the windows open. The road into town is pretty rough so it takes a while to get to town.

    Absolutely everything! Big units with a nice porch with a hammock! The views are spectacular and there is a dock next to the property with a bar and restaurant. Great place for a cocktail or breakfast.

    The only complaint I have is subjective so it may not affect everyone. The bed was a little too soft for my old back. My preference is nice and firm.

    The customer service was outstanding! From check-in to check-out, the staff was always available and very helpful with arranging our transportation via golf cart and with arrival and departure. The property is well kept and not too busy or noisy.

    They “upgraded” us from the casitas to an Ocean view condo. Would have preferred a casita with full kitchen even if it’s a little further from the water. The whole island is experiencing power loss. Start asking if your resort has generators! Restaurant has no vegan options.

    Responsive and communicative staff. Very helpful. Loved feeding iguanas.

    The room was quite dark and the view in the back was to the maintenance area. Not the nicest view, but as we spent most of the time outside, it didn't bother us much. Prices at the restaurant are high, but that is the case everywhere in Ambergris Caye and in the few restaurants close by.

    We stayed three nights here during April and had a great time. The hotel is around 20-30 minutes drive from San Pedro and therefore really quiet. The hotel sits between two undeveloped pieces of land, which helps keeping it that way. Due to the reef being around 1km in front of the hotel beach, the water here is very quiet and calm but you can still hear the waves while sitting under the palm trees (with the coconuts removed, no issues to sit under them), super nice and relaxing! We had one of the pool facing casitas and they were comfortable enough. The kitchen was very well equipped, with a huge fridge and all necessary appliances to cook. Useful, since we didn't book the breakfast option due to the price. But since grocery shopping is very expensive on the island (50 USD for a bit of bacon, 4 cups of iced coffee, 1 pack of spread and a pack of 4 muffins), it might be worth adding the breakfast. The hotel has 2 large pools and the beach with nice loungers available at all times. All areas were well maintained and inviting.

    The location is about 40 min by golf cart from the ferry in SanPedro downtown. The property itself is very nice and quiet, small but private beach. bar on the waterfront. Rooms were good, kitchen had everything you need. No issues with AC or drinking water (available in the room). We were able to take the snorkeling excursion from this location itself, did not have to go to downtown. Nice calm water, not too deep, perfect for small kids as well. Saw fish and crabs in the shallow water rt off the beach. 2 swimming pools. There is a restaurant on site, menu is very limited but good food, fresh juice etc. The service is very slow so be prepared to wait atleast 45 min if you dont go rt when it opens. They have limited staff. There are other resort restaurants about 15-20 min drive by golfcart. Room service is good. Everyone was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this would be the place.
