Casa Nova Cabanas

Casa Nova Cabanas Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Casa Nova Cabanas, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect — the name had me curious, but the location on Secret Beach in San Pedro was what really drew me in. This four-star spot sits right where you want to be if you’re looking for that perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. The moment you step onto the property, there’s this immediate sense that you’ve found something special, something that feels more like a well-kept secret than a typical beach resort.

The Secret Beach Experience

Secret Beach itself is honestly one of Belize’s best-kept treasures, and Casa Nova Cabanas has positioned itself perfectly to take advantage of this stunning stretch of coastline. You’re far enough from the main tourist crowds in San Pedro town, but close enough that a quick golf cart ride gets you to restaurants and bars when you want them. The beach here is what dreams are made of — soft white sand that stretches for miles, crystal-clear water that’s perfect for swimming, and sunsets that’ll make you forget to check your phone. I mean, couples absolutely love this place for good reason, and after spending time here, I totally get why they rate the location so highly.

Accommodations That Actually Deliver

The cabanas themselves strike this nice balance between rustic charm and modern comfort that’s surprisingly hard to find. Each room feels spacious and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of natural light and views that make you want to linger on your private deck with morning coffee. What I really appreciated was how they’ve managed to keep that authentic Belizean vibe while ensuring everything actually works — the air conditioning, the hot water, all those little details that can make or break a beach vacation. The beds are comfortable, and honestly, falling asleep to the sound of gentle waves is something you don’t realize you’ve been missing until you experience it.

Dining and Daily Rhythms

Breakfast here is straightforward American fare, which might sound boring but actually hits the spot when you’re planning beach days. Think hearty portions that fuel you for snorkeling adventures or lazy afternoons in a hammock — sometimes simple is exactly what you need. The restaurant area has this relaxed, open-air feel that captures those tropical breezes perfectly. You know what I loved? The fact that parking is free and private, which sounds minor but becomes a real blessing when you’re exploring the island and don’t want to worry about your rental car.

Why Guests Love It

Casa Nova Cabanas works because it doesn’t try to be everything to everyone — instead, it focuses on doing the beach experience really, really well. The location consistently earns rave reviews because it delivers on that promise of paradise without the pretense. Whether you’re a couple looking for romance or just someone who wants to disconnect and recharge, this place provides the perfect backdrop. The combination of Secret Beach’s natural beauty, thoughtful accommodations, and that genuine Belizean hospitality creates something memorable. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself already planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out.

• Jason from Canada (10/10)

  This is a very special little place – everything about it is truly spectacular. A beautiful property in a great location with amazing views, comfortable rooms, and really wonderful people….what more could you ask for? We really hope to return someday soon!

• Penelope from Spain (10/10)

  Nova and her partner were most friendly and helpful. Communication before our stay was excellent. Breakfast is provided and is very tasty. The rooms are separate units with their own bathrooms and were very nicely arranged. There are two front units that have the sea and beach view and they are beautiful. There is a great coffee shop almost next door which did fantastic coffees and snacks for lunch also. There are beach bars just a few minutes walk away, but evening meals need to be eaten early as they close.
  There are Padel boards and kayaks available to use also.

• Chelsea from United States (10/10)

  Casa Nova was an amazing stay. Owners were absolutely lovely and cooked an amazing breakfast and an amazing rum punch. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay exceeded all my expectations. I actually brought a plug in bug and misquito repellant since we were right in the beach but I never even took it out the pack not a bug in sight. Room was modern and I think I had the best sleep I’ve had in years on the bed
