"We had such a wonderful time at El Ben! It was our first visit, and we're already dreaming of returning. The hotel itself is adorable, but the true highlight was the incredible staff. From the moment we arrived until we checked out, they were consistently helpful, kind, and always available. What really impressed us was how they greeted us by name immediately – it made us feel so welcome, like regulars! The food at the restaurant was also a standout; we enjoyed the most delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout our entire stay. The bartenders were equally friendly and always happy to see us. A huge thank you to the entire El Ben team, especially the manager, receptionists, captain, chef, and bartenders. You truly made our trip unforgettable! We can't wait to come back soon."

"Perfect location, beautiful design and the staff treats you like family."

"We had a great time at Belizean Shore Resorts. My parents had an ocean front room (bottom floor) my family had an upper ocean view room and the other party in our group had a pool view room. The ocean front & ocean view rooms had great views and a nice breeze. The pool view room was close to the pool & the office. The grounds are really nice & overall is a fairly small resort which we prefer. The pool & swim up bar are perfect although you will pay double the price for drinks there. The margaritas are great though. The bartenders are awesome & the food ordered at the pool bar is really good. Unfortunately, the sargassum is terrible there .. the water in front is full of it and it can be very smelly. The resort cleans the beach area but you cannot get into the water from the beach right now. Everyone we talked to said this year is the worst they've seen and is up and down the entire east side of the island. The resort sprays for mosquitoes but let me tell you... you must have mosquito spray with Deet. Take ALOT! The resort has spray but you'll pay double for it. We took 4 cans and bought another 3 while there. We also booked the walking food tour, BBQ Snorkel, and Lamanai Ruins tour through the resort & they were all awesome and easy to do with them. I'd suggest using their reservations department to book excursions. We booked 2 golf carts through isla Bonita (they were much cheaper than through the resort). "

"Absolutely excellent resort and diving. The beach was disappointing - you can’t really swim from the resort due to the grass and seaweed. And as romantic as the grass roof was we had critters In the roof chirping and pooping on our bed. They cleaned very well every day but pick the first floor if you can. "

"Service was top tier and could not have asked for a better way to enjoy my birthday trip. Thank you for going above and beyond each day. Shout out to Caesar, Julio and Lance!!! "
