Restaurant could have been been better food but the atmosphere was great!

Great place, pretty rooms, staff was friendly and attentive. Cool bar over the water.

The bathrooms had cockroach and they were coming from the bath sinkhole. It is avoidable.

The beach had ocean trash on it every day, that some days was raked up, but most days was not raked. The Paddle Wheel Restaurant was too expensive to use for all our meals. The Big Dock was great for jumping off, but the swim-up ladder was impossible to climb back up on!

The location was great - the view was terrific - our room was wonderful and looked out across the beach to the ocean! We enjoyed walking on the beach everyday, it goes on for kms. We enjoyed borrowing the free bikes and going for a ride every morning. The Paddle Wheel restaurant was very nice, and had a great location, with open doors to an ocean view. The Big Dock and covered hut was great - really enjoyed it for ocean watching and moon gazing.

There wasn't anything that we didn't love, you must stay here

I loved everything about this property, the staff were incredible, the food, the facilities... we had the best stay ever. We would highly recommend, 20/10 stay at the Colonial. Chris looked after us the whole time we were there and we saw him make an effort and look after all the guests, he always went the extra mile. Captain Larry was also really kind and insightful- he always went out of his way to make recommendations and check we were having a great time.

I loved the resort; it was more than I expected.

fyi: snorkelling at the beach was not great (you couldn't see anything). it's only possible with tours when you are more in the sea. + we loved breakfast (fry Jacks and burrito) and lunch (burger etc) but we found the dinner top expensive and not that great.

the facilities: use of kayak/Paddle board/bikers, the dock, the bonfire with the marshmellows, the pools,.. we were never bored. and the beach was beautiful. it was very comfortable and clean. it was nicer than the pictures

Nothing to complain.

The room was very comfortable, beautiful. It had everything we needed. We could even have room service, which we didn't. I really liked the way to communicate. Via WhatsApp, you have all the information you need, such as locations of the premises, menus of the restaurants, etc. You can communicate with staff, make reservations, or send an order via WhatsApp.

Food could be better. Batter for waffles should be discarded immediately and buy Krustaez instead. If you serve chicken and waffle it needs to be more than one chicken wing. Otherwise, pretty good.

The shower was hard to turn off, if I turned it far too hot it was difficult to turn back

The place is very quiet and clean

Our room had things left from prior guests. Every light had its own remote which was quite a task. Some were burned out including the patio light which made it hard to see at night. The food was a bit overpriced for what it was. The bunk bed didn’t have a latter which made it really difficult to get up and down.

The location and property were beautiful! The nicest beach I’ve been to on the coast of Belize. The dock to jump off was fun! And the dock bar was cool! Lounge chairs were empty and hung out all day! Beautiful views everywhere.

I traveled on a Monday and the pizza spot was close and the pool side bar closed early but that more about my day of travel rather than being about the property

The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was very spacious , clean and comfortable. the sea view was lovely

Friendly Staff Great View

Everything was good, but a little pricey and not a whole lot of different options for dining. Other than that, we loved it!

Stayed in February 2023

The price of dinners was very high, beaches not cleaned daily of plastic and trash, room cleaning service minimal and irregular

The food was delicious but very expensive. The informal, friendly, beautiful setting. The staff was warm and friendly.

We booked this room because it had direct beach access the pictures show clear blue water but during our stay the water was a dirty brown color with seaweed and a order that hits you before you even walk onto the property. This happens every year around this time after to speaking with the locals it can last for a full month. Front desk try to down play it, but there should be a Disclaimer stating from the last week of Jul to the second or third week of August don’t expect to have beach access or blue water. This was so upsetting as we had to pay additional $280 dollars US, to go to a private island for the day and enjoy what we thought we were getting.

The staff was extremely friendly Capt. Larry greeted us every morning asked us how we were doing and even provided us suggestions for the day activities. Room was nice and clean, ocean views just like it stated in the advertisement. Must go to Ella’s the food there is amazing.

Bed was quite uncomfortable at the Colonial

Great facilities with a lovely beach. Friendly staff and restaurant had a good selection.

Moved us twice! 1) staff gave us wrong room 2) No water at times in building and only a few electrical outlets worked. Also we booked a room with 1046 sq. Ft. And got a room 1/2 that size, including the veranda. 3) They finally put us in another building 2 properties down it was not as clean and there were no beach chairs. 4) The staff did their best to accommodate us, But simply we're unprepared and had a lot of inexperienced personnel.

On the beach.

First, we never received our promised welcome drink. Then there was a rotting dead opossum on the porch of the house we stayed in. We asked staff to clean it up multiple times. They were friendly but nobody came. That smelly thing was still there when we left🤮

Perfect location. Nice dock. Spacious rooms.

They tried an interesting take on the Garifuna cultural food and, by interesting, I mean terrible. The service was absolutely horrible. I had to go get my own drinks at the bar. The restaurant wasn't busy in the slightest. The food came before the drinks. When I went to pay he asked for the pin and I told him it's a credit card. The Wi-Fi never worked. I asked for help, nothing was done even after I asked multiple times. I requested wash clothes 2 times and it took 3 hours to get to me. For the money, the service is abysmal. Beautiful or not I would never stay here again.

I loved the scenery, it's a very picturesque facility. Plus it's right on the water.
