    Prices were high for al a carte amenities. It was hard to get into town and expensive to use the cab drivers lined up by Ka'ana, but the lack of between meal snacks and sodas/juices meant we had to look elsewhere.

    The property was great, the grounds were well kept, and the bar area was open and fun. Staff was nice and went beyond normal service at a resort.

    More and better furniture by the pool.

    This property isn't one of the fancier jungle lodges but its proximity to the jungle adventures, ruins and San Ignacio are truly great. It's a small, relaxed place, but there is still a feeling of it being in the jungle despite it not being. The rooms are extremely spacious, well done and clean, as is the entire property. The beds and pillows are huge and very comfortable. We arranged massages and they were great. The pool is not the greatest, mostly because it doesn't have many chairs or the nicest furniture, but it's certainly an adequate one. The main 'house' has indoor/outdoor seating with a lovely deck and adjacent indoor bar. The staff was absolutely a joy. Julio at the front desk along with the others was extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. And the food, drinks and wine...totally unexpected fresh, flavorful and creative. It was a 9+.

    Food and drink is expensive especially as you are some way out of the town and there’s no alternative. The food wasn’t great. A shuttle to the town is $15 US and unlike other hotels in Belize the hotel doesn’t offer any complementary shuttles through the day. The staff were great but clearly had instructions to up-sell food, drink, tours

    Ka’ana was very clean. Room was functional staff at tentative. Lovely gardens. Close to some good sites for trips.

    The only downside is bugs getting into the room, but it is surrounded by the elements so I understand this is beyond the control of the property.

    The property was on the main highway, very clean and beautiful. The food was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

    There were quite a few bugs that snuck into our room including a big spider but I think thats par for the course in Belize

    This hotel is very unique in that someone is available at all times through texting on whatsapp. It felt like your own private concierge as they arranged anything and everything and were super quick to respond. Every single tour, transportation, room service request is all made through the hotel and can be made through texting making it extremely easy! The food at this resort is incredible. Both nights we dined at the restaurant had special theme nights including “bbq night” and “mayan night” which we really enjoyed. It’s also unique because its pretty small so we didn’t see or hear others often making our stay feel very private and peaceful. Tours and things purchased at and through the hotel are pricey but of great value. All tours and transportation are private and comfortable. You definitely spend some extra money for convenience which we value.

    if you don’t have a car, the tours are the reason for being there as you are not really within walking distance of the town.

    The resort is in a beautiful setting with nice buildings and pool. The on-site restaurant is wonderful and prices are very reasonable. Private tours (“adventures”) are offered by the resort; we were there two days and took the San Ignesio market/Cabal Pech ruins/iguana rescue/chocolate making one and the Tikal ruins in Guatemala one. Both were excellent.

    The included breakfast could've included more. The one thing was the 9% GST and 10% service charge that's added to everything. Meals, drinks and even the massage. So be aware when you're staying here that everything comes with an added 19%.

    The people who work here are amazing, so friendly and so helpful!! The room was really clean, comfortable and big. The bar served great cocktails and the restaurant food was great!! Special thanks for Lorreta and the chef for the birthday cake! Legends

    Our shower really needed a renovation. The lever was loose and water pressure was very low. Took a few minutes to get warm.

    Beautiful, lush, boutique property. #1 was the staff. Everyone was so kind, funny, and helpful. The grounds were so green. The pool area was calm & had a great view. Food at the restaurant and bar was very good. I’m vegan and they were able to accommodate my food needs including plant based milks and beans made with coconut oil instead of lard. The tortilla and black bean soup were delicious! We did 2 tours through the hotel. They were both private and 100% worth it. Only a little more expensive than group tours. Highly recommend the ruins and cave tubing and zip line.
