After reading some of the reviews right before booking this villa, I was a little concerned. The trip ended up being wonderful for my whole family including my 3 small childeren and my parents. The room was nice just as you would expect on an island. plenty of room and very relaxing. Every room had a wonderful view of the... more

We were lucky enough to use our friends timeshare for a week, otherwise don't think we would have stayed there. The resort served its purpose and has great views. Walking out your front door and seeing the ocean and palm trees every morning was a Huge plus. The distance from town is actually sort of nice since its quiet and... more

Costa Maya is definitely frayed around the edges. We found the restaurant to be pretty good with a new chef building the staff. The staff at the resort are great and really friendly. The rooms are dated but clean and well serviced by housekeeping. more

We recently stayed at CMRR and we enjoyed our stay very much. Like many others who have posted or responded, we were "concerned" about what we would find the resort based on other reviews. However, when we arrived we were both pleasantly surprised to find a hidden gem in the north. The grounds were well kept and all staff were... more

Just got back from Costa Maya Reef resort. What a difference a year makes! The resort has made major changes in the management and it really shows. We stayed at Costa Maya last year and we were not impressed This year was totally different. It was much more organized and the atmosphere was more relaxed. Costa Maya is the perfect... more

My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a direct exchange of time from the Lake Okanogan Resort to Costa Maya Reef Resort (CMRR). In preparation for this trip we read numerous reviews and had a fairly good idea of what to expect. If you are looking for five star accommodations then this resort is not for you;... more

We spent a week at Costa Maya in January and had a fabulous time. We were curious based on some negative reviews we read but we were very pleased with the resort, location and would go back. The staff are the resort's best asset, extremely friendly. The rooms were clean, we had a great view and the beds were very... more

We just spent a week at Costa Maya Reef Resort, and we will definitely return. To correct a previous review, there are 29 units, not 29 people. But with 29 units, the resort is still very intimate and laid back. Most days, most of the other people were out on day tours, which were easy to book and everyone seemed... more

I booked this hotel through Interval. This was our first time in Belize and I found it to be beutiful. The rooms on the 2nd floor all had amazing views but only select 1st floor rooms had good views. It took a while to get there with the 8 seater plane then the island ferry. The hotel looks old and... more
