Xanadu Island Resort

The location was great. The resort is amazing and the pool is just what we wanted.

Would absolutely love to return to this resort again! We had two couples in our group, and the two bedroom suite was perfect! It was super convenient to have a full kitchen in our space, but each of our rooms were delightful. Comfy beds, warm shower, lovely sitting area.

The resort itself is STUNNING. The pool and hot tub make for a beautiful place to spend the day, especially with a bar right there for rum punch when you need it. The dock also makes it easy to be picked up for any excursions.

Every thing is easier because the staff is so incredibly welcoming and helpful when it comes to booking things like massages or reserving your golf cart! 10/10 am hoping to return soon!

Beautifully maintained with a lush tropical feel. We loved the jungle feel, right on the ocean! The view was amazing! The staff was fantastic and so helpful about everything! We saw some other properties during our time on ambergris, but we were always happy to come back to Xanadu!

7 Jahre nach unserem ersten Aufenthalt waren wir nun zum zweiten Mal im Xanadu. Die Anlage ist wunderbar direkt am Meer gelegen. Unser Apartement war etwas zurückversetzt, hatte aber trotzdem noch teilweisem Meerblick. Die vielen hohen Bäume spenden bei der tropischen Hitze angenehm Schatten. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Die eigene Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Sehr geschätzt haben wir den Trinkwassertank, der uns das Schleppen von Trinkwasser erspart hat. Neben zwei Badezimmern im Obergeschoss gab es zusätzlich ein WC auf der unteren Etage. Die Terasse war gross und mit Tisch, Stühlen und einer Hängematte versehen. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, der Sand wird regelmässig gereinigt.

Loved everything about Xanadu Island Resort! Quiet, peaceful and clean! Loved having the table by the pool so we could play games. There was 8 of us and we all had a great time! Would definitely stay again!

Outstanding boutique hotel. Great service...I am glad I choose this place to stay.

Beautiful resort! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Located very close to the main town and close to lots of local places to eat. It was very convenient to book the golf carts though them. We had the ocean view suite and it was gorgeous!! Very large and spacious with everything you need. Very clean! Definitely worth the price. Would definitely return in the future. It was a wonderful, quiet, and peaceful getaway with a beautiful property.

Despite the busy activity on Ambergris Caye Xanadu hides in a quiet zone isolated from the bustle. The property is older and sits on a large parcel of land. The pool is large enough to enjoy and cool off in but held at a very comfortable temperature. Most rooms are situated so as to provide privacy. Very nice and classy place with an old school Belizean feel.

Stunning resort with attentive staff.centrally located with a private pier. Complementary bicycles, snorkeling gear and paddle boards.

This resort is absolutely fabulous. Friendly, helpful staff, amazing apartment with all amenities and fantastic pool and gardens and right on the beach. It is an oasis of calm and quietness away from the streets full of golf buggies and mayhem. Not really our sort of place but we so enjoyed Xanadu. Very good snorkelling trips were arranged by the resort. It is the best place to stay on the island.

My husband and I travelled to Belize with my sister and brother-in-law, whose parents had recommended Xanadu. We are so glad that we stayed at this boutique resort. From the moment we contacted them, their concierge service was exceptional. They promptly lined up airport pickup, domestic flights, tours, and local experiences. When our original flight was cancelled and we were rebooked they adjusted times accordingly. The resort is a short distance from the airport and yet away from any noise of town. We stayed in a two bedroom ocean view villa which was spacious, beautiful, and excellently equipped for an "at home" feel. We bought some food at the local market and made ourselves breakfast most days in our full kitchen. There is an amazing coffee house nearby if you don't want to make coffee in your room. The property is very private, clean, well designed, and extremely comfortable. The pool was heated which was quite welcome because there was a strange cold snap while we were in Belize. After a long day snorkeling we loved to visit the hot tub. Like the other resorts, Xanadu has a sea wall with a beach on top of it. There was always a chair available on the beach and by the pool. The water is a beautiful blue with a nice sandy bottom. We had purchased the sand and sea package which included a private chef experience. What a treat to have local chefs come to our apartment and cook a meal. We even had delicious left overs for the next day. Another day we purchased chicken and we could BBQ it right on site. As for our tours, Xanadu partners with Belizean tour guides who are professional and very knowledgeable. The tours were fun and meaningful. Our package also included two days use of a golf cart and although the main part of town is within walking distance, it was awesome to have the golf cart to drive out the Secret Beach and to drive around San Pedro. We found the food in Belize to be healthy, fresh, and good value. While Xanadu does not have their own restaurant, their sister hotel is next door and provides a top notch select menu for most of the day. This food can be ordered at Xanadu's bar with the excellent bartender, Winston. One night Xanadu hosted a beach BBQ which was cooked onsite and was delicious. We walked the whole beachfront and honestly, Xanadu's location, size, and incredible staff made it the perfect resort for us. Thank you Jessica and all the other Xanadu staff members who were so welcoming and helpful.

Can't say anything bad. The staff were wonderful and customer service was amazing. From booking to the actual experience I would rate it an 11 for sure!!! I would stay here again in a heart beat and recommend it to others who decide to visit the island. We felt like we were in our own little jungle paradise even though we right on the edge of town. A-MA-ZING!!!

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!
