Bella Vista Resort Belize

Bella Vista Resort Belize Overview

First Impressions

You know what caught me off guard about Bella Vista Resort Belize? It’s actually tucked away just far enough from San Pedro’s main strip that you get this perfect balance — close enough to walk into town when you want the action, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with the noise and crowds. The three-star rating might seem modest, but honestly, this place punches way above its weight class. I mean, with a 9.1 guest rating, there’s clearly something special happening here that the star system doesn’t quite capture.

Location & Getting Around

Being 2.5 miles north of San Pedro Town puts you in this sweet spot where you’re still connected but not overwhelmed. The free parking is actually a bigger deal than you might think — finding a secure spot for your rental car in this area can be tricky elsewhere. What I really appreciated was how couples seem to gravitate toward this place, and after spending time here, I get it. There’s something about the setting that just works for romantic getaways, whether you’re walking the nearby beaches or just enjoying the quieter vibe away from the main tourist zone.

The Property Experience

The resort itself has this laid-back Belizean charm that feels authentic rather than manufactured for tourists. Each room I saw had these thoughtful touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience — not just checking boxes on a corporate checklist. The staff genuinely knows the area well, and they’re quick to share insider tips about where to grab the best local food or which dive spots are worth your time. It’s the kind of place where you’ll actually want to hang around the property instead of just using it as a place to crash.

What Sets It Apart

Here’s the thing that really impressed me — recent guests consistently rate the location at 8.9 out of 10, and after exploring the area, I totally understand why. You’re positioned perfectly for day trips to the Blue Hole or Hol Chan Marine Reserve, but you can also just wander into town for dinner without it being a whole production. The resort manages to feel secluded without being isolated, if that makes sense. Plus, the fact that it’s particularly popular with couples tells you something about the atmosphere — it’s romantic without being stuffy, relaxed without being run-down.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back here isn’t just the solid location or the reliable service — it’s how the whole experience feels effortless. You’re not constantly thinking about logistics or dealing with tourist traps right outside your door. The 9.1 rating reflects what I experienced: a place that consistently delivers on its promises without overselling itself. Whether you’re planning romantic dinners in San Pedro or early morning fishing trips, Bella Vista Resort Belize gives you that perfect home base where everything just works smoothly.

  Perfect Location a little outside the busy area. Super personal and very professional boutique resort. We felt welcome from the first moment.

  Enjoyed our stay. Staff were very nice, food was good, the grounds were constantly keep clean. We had an issue with our original accommodation and we were upgraded due to Appt availability. Overall very nice and recommended. Hope to revisit.

• Stacy from United States (10/10)

  Loved everything!
  Staff is wonderful.

• Megan from United States (10/10)

  The staff was amazing! The location was perfect! We stayed in the Stingray room, and you just go outside and the bar/pool was right there and the ocean just a few more feet back! Our daughter loved their hotel dog, Dakota, and we just had a wonderful time! They picked us up and dropped us off, and we set up all our excursions right from our own pier. They even helped our daughter catch her first fish! Great Resort!

• Susan from United States (10/10)

  There is a choice of 4 or 5 breakfasts daily and they were all good. Some had homemade jellies from local fruits. Everything was delicious and hot. Service was fast but always time for pleasant talk. Breakfast was for resort guests so it was never crowded. The staff were so friendly and nice, giving great advice and really became friends. The prices for happy hour were ridiculously cheap!! The pool was warm and right outside our room.

• Angelica from United States (10/10)

  close to the water and friendly staff

• Nicholas from United Kingdom (10/10)

  The staff were very helpful with arranging tours/transport, and also generally around the hotel. It's in a nice location slightly away from the main town, so it's a bit more relaxed than being right in the centre (though you can easily get there by golf cart). The room was much bigger than we were expecting, and the on-site restuarant / breakfast was also really nice. We had a great time!

• Mona from Ireland (10/10)

  The property is right at the beach and it’s in a very quiet area. Our room was really nice and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night but we had a great time.

• Sarah from United States (8/10)

  The staff were amazing. They were very friendly and helpful. The location to the reef was great. We used on site kayaks to paddle out to the reef, it took about 20min, and then snorkeled around.
  The location to town is convenient but far enough to be quiet.

• Timothy from United States (10/10)

  We extensively travel and the staff was beyond excellent. You were treated like family, they greeted you by name whenever they saw you and were always responsible of any asks you had. The food was excellent, they make a breakfast jelly that should be on Shark Tank (BEST EVER), the Christmas dinner had a beautiful setting with the water in the background. We would recommend anyone staying there, you will be treated like family. They rescued a dog and if you want to see a tail wag, throw a coconut (like a ball) and this will go on as long as you want to play.
