Xanadu Island Resort

Xanadu Resort is absolutely beautiful, even better than the pictures! Quiet, peaceful, and a little bit luxurious. Perfectly heated pool & hot tub (open 24/7), kayaks, pier for ocean swimming, beach BBQ, bike rides...never ran out of things to do. Best part was the amazing staff - Lelo driving us to restaurants, Winston making us drinks at the bar, and Kyra & Kaneisha helping us arrange snorkeling tours and golf carts. We usually stay in AirBnbs, so it was a real treat having such friendly staff going the extra mile to make our stay perfect. We had an oceanfront room with lovely views and just the right amount of shade. The only thing I would mention is the spiral staircase leading up to the bedroom. It wasn't a problem for us, but others might find it challenging. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay here when we return to Belize!

You need to book well ahead here, as there are many returning regulars to fill up the place.They are attracted by the rooms set in the gardens, swimming pool, beach and for us the freely available SUPs and kayaks. Note that there are no leashes for the boards, which is a bit of an omission because although you are protected by the reef, the wind can produce some swell and there is also boat swells to pitch you off the board, when you then have to swim after it as the wind takes it away!
There’s also some yoga mats to borrow.
The reception staff are very helpful with planning trips, useful as it’s not always easy to book stuff locally.
The location is also great with a short walk along the beach into town

This hotel is faultless! Great stay, welcoming and helpful staff and convenient location.

We had studio 4b which was huge but had everything we need.

Short walk to the main town both along the road or beach path but was pleasant and welcome.

Hired a golf cart for a couple of days to explore. Overall a gem!

Would highly recommend Xanadu resort! The staff was so friendly and very accommodating. They organized our excursion, booked our flights to and from Belize, and booked a golf cart for us. The resort was very clean! We loved our room, bed was very comfy! The area felt very safe. We will stay here again.

We found this resort when we first start looking at visiting Belize about ten years ago. We booked a ocean front loft and absolutely loved it. We have stayed here a few times since including twice this year. You couldn't find a friendlier or more helpful staff anywhere. The rooms are excellent and reasonably priced. We were a little concerned as it changed ownership earlier this year but it appeared to be a seamless transition. Same employees and same great vibe for the entire stay.

We spent December 2 through 10 in Belize-the first half inland and the 2nd half on Ambergris Caye at Xanadu-it was amazing! Beautiful accommodations-great balcony, full kitchen, 2 full baths a king bed in the loft and queen downstairs and air conditioning! Staying in US hotels I was amazed at the quality of the towels-weird comment I know -but noticeable!Great location-you could walk to many places without a golf cart. And walking up the beach was even easier. Nice bar with Winston to answer any questions you have. They also have onsite laundry for a small fee if you need it! My husband loves to fish and packed his rod and fished off the long dock-get some sardines -and caught us lunch! There are ample beach recliners and a wonderful pool and hot tub too. Our snorkel guides even picked us up directly from the dock to go to Hol Chan. Loved it and would go back in heartbeat! Everyone is so friendly-best meal we had was Snook at Bluewater Grill-delish!

Nice boutique hotel in the town of San Pedro near the San Pedro Express water taxi terminal. We had 2BR, 2BATH apartment with living room and kitchen on the ground floor. The apartment was dark, and we used lights during a day. Some noise from the unit above. I recommend getting unit upstairs for that reason and maybe more daylight. The hotel has nice heated small pool and jacuzzi. The beach is not good for swimming - as it is the situation for the most of all Ambergris peninsula. There is only 1 beach for swimming in all area - Secret Beach 1 hr. away by golf car. Xanadu does not have restaurant, only small bar.

We had an amazing family vacation the staff was wonderful. They helped us book all tours we wanted to enjoy. Highly recommend you plan your next vacation here!!

Location was great, needed a golf car to get around but that's fine and part of the fun. On the beach with terrific views, very lush tropical setting made it seem very private. The suite was really well stocked and comfortable, clean and modern. Great for a night in if you want, had all cooking items you would ever want, blender for cocktails and lovely outside our area. Pool area was really lovely, the dock was awesome for an evening drink. Staff were great, shout out to winston. The suites were spaced out just right for privacy , but could socialize if you wanted. Plenty of supermarkets nearby in easy walk ( 2 mins max).

Spent a week here recently and the place exceeded our expectations. Beautiful, clean, 2 bedroom unit. Large pool with shady areas from the numerous palm trees. Excellent bar service. They took care of tours, snorkeling and our plane ride back to Belize city. Everyone was friendly and we could not have chosen a better place to stay. It’s out of the way just enough to avoid the his to Lenox town, yet only a 2 minute golf cart ride to stores, restaurants and bars. Would stay there again in a minute.

I can’t wait to get back. I loved this place. It’s peaceful and very tranquil.
If you are looking for a boutique resort with an absolute gorgeous atmosphere and a great staff, this is it. It feels like you are staying in the jungle, away from all the hustle and bustle but still in the middle of town. The location is excellent, everything you need is walkable. The architecture of the rooms and the cleanliness of the whole resort are wonderful. The restaurant at their sister resort, Villa Abrazos next door was phenomenal. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in the last 6 months of all my travels. It is a must do.
If you’re looking for tranquility, nature, beach and a secluded place to stay, thats in the middle of town, this is it!

Xanadu is an outstanding resort with an amazing staff. I stayed here in August and did a week of fly fishing for Permit. This resort is perfect for anglers because your guide picks you up from the dock right in front of the resort. You also have a full kitchen for making coffee and breakfast early in the morning before each day of fishing. Additionally, there is a water spigot in front of each suite that I used for rinsing my rods and reels each day. Super convenient. Another great touch, was Xanadu providing me with a coffee grinder so I could try the local coffee beans. The booking process and communication was excellent and everyone from the front desk to the folks that cleaned my suite, were really fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about Xanadu and will definitely be staying here on all my future fly fishing trips.

Great place to visit. Great atmosphere and the staff are amazing and very friendly, from the guys caring your luggage to the people in the office. They go above and beyond for their guests. Winston is always around and ready to serve up whatever drink you please. Can't beat it.

Great place 👌

This was our second stay at Xanadu, and it was just as fantastic as the first time! The staff are warm, personable and go out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Only minutes from Belize Pro Dive Center, where we dove every day, and plenty of stores, restaurants (try Blue Water!) and bars, it was the ideal location. We'll be back again!!

Staff was amazing. Room was clean. Will definitely be back again.

Accueil très professionnel et sympathique, les sorties proposées par l'hôtel sont très bien. Hôtel au calme. Les logements sont dans les arbres avec un grande terrasse, la piscine est agréable.
