Lina Point Belize Overwater Resort

Le lieu est tout simplement splendide! Relativement loin du centre ville (2km à pied) mais calme et douceur du lieu au dessus de la mer. C'est un excellent compromis. On peut y voir raies et crocs depuis la chambre!
Personnel souriant et très serviable! Chambre spacieuse et propreté irréprochable.
Petit déjeuner correct et de bonne qualité, prévoir supplément si vous voulez un petit déjeuner plus copieux.

We checked in on 5/5 and really wanted to love this place. The overwater rooms were beautiful, and being able to drive the golf cart on the dock was a unique and fun experience. The check-in process was smooth—our host was friendly, informative, and explained that a complimentary continental breakfast was included (with an option to upgrade for an additional cost). He also walked us through all the room features, which we appreciated.
Shortly after, a woman named Karen approached us in our room about booking a snorkeling trip for the next day. She described it as the largest sailing boat on the island (different from the one advertised at the front desk), stopping at four snorkeling spots, including lunch and rum punch. It sounded like a great opportunity, especially since snorkeling the second-largest barrier reef was one of our main reasons for visiting San Pedro (we’re from the Florida Keys, home to the third-largest reef).
We agreed and paid, planning to meet at 8:30 AM the next morning. When we arrived, there were multiple couples—not just one other as implied—but we didn’t think much of it. However, when we got to the boat, it looked extremely run-down and poorly maintained—nothing like what had been described. There was very limited seating (just two small cushions up front), and even the life preserver was wrapped in duct tape. It did not feel safe.
As we approached, Karen pulled us aside and asked us not to discuss pricing with the other guests because everyone had been charged different amounts, which immediately raised concerns. At that point, we told her we were uncomfortable and did not feel the excursion matched what had been advertised. I asked directly if we canceled, would we receive a full refund, and she said yes—but claimed she didn’t have the cash on hand and would bring it to us at the hotel.
Unfortunately, that promise was not honored. We waited several hours back at the hotel, and when she finally arrived, she only returned a portion of our money. The situation was frustrating and disappointing. Between the misleading information and the partial refund, it felt like a bait-and-switch.
Looking back, there were other warning signs as well. The “complimentary” continental breakfast we were told about at check-in was initially added to our bill, and when we questioned it, the explanation was simply that the staff member was “busy”—despite the restaurant only having a couple of tables occupied.
After this experience, we decided to cut our stay short and booked an earlier flight home. Unfortunately, this visit left us feeling like we were constantly being taken advantage of. We are seasoned travelers and have visited many destinations—Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, Cuba, the BVI, and the Bahamas—and have never felt this way before.
To be fair, the hotel itself has nice features—the glass floor panels, private deck pool, and overall concept are great. However, it could benefit from better upkeep and, more importantly, more transparent and honest guest interactions.
On a positive note, the Belize jungle was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend visiting that part of the country. San Pedro, however, was disappointing in our experience.
Overall: Proceed with caution and be mindful of excursions and charges recommended through the hotel.

Staff was friendly. Beautiful views. Walking distance to town and restaurants. Plexiglass floors for a live action aquarium

We had a villa, not to be confused with the over water huts. Villa 41 does not have a pool but is a large home with fully stocked kitchen.
Ample towels and linens
Great beds and showers are good
The back faces the water but not the beach
More or an intercostal water way

We enjoyed our stay in an overwater bungalow. The private pool was perfect for cooling off each afternoon. The kitchen was nice to have, especially tge refrigerator. It even had ice trays, which was great to use for cold water, iced coffee, and adult beverages. The staff were really nice, as was the chef. The accommodations were clean and well stocked. Location was a bit far from San Pedro but we knew that when booking. Highly recommend!

The beauty of the Resort

I enjoyed everything! They were well mannered and kind!

Nice room.

My partner and I recently spent my birthday at Lina Point Overwater Resort, and I cannot say enough good things about this hidden gem. From the moment we arrived on Wednesday, March 18th, we were treated like royalty.
We were greeted by Pedro at the front desk, who was fantastic—polite, fast, and incredibly efficient, which we really appreciated after a long day of travel. Since we were tired, we decided to eat on-site at The Mayan. Even though it was their final night before closing for renovations, the service didn't miss a beat.
Asain, our waiter and bartender, was super friendly and attentive.
Chef Julissa is a master of her craft—everything she prepared was cooked to absolute perfection.
The welcome drink was the perfect refreshing touch to kick off the vacation!
The next two mornings, we headed back for breakfast and were greeted by Britney. She is absolutely lovely and so inviting; her energy is the perfect way to start a Belizean morning.
The overwater bungalow itself was a dream. If you are looking to unplug, this is the place to do it. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the views are simply unmatched. A huge shoutout to our housekeepers, Gian and Jennifer, who kept our space immaculate, neat, and tidy throughout our stay.
The staff at Lina Point—Pedro, Asain, Julissa, Britney, Gian, and Jennifer—truly made my birthday memorable. If you want stunning views, a comfortable stay, and a team that genuinely cares about your experience, book Lina Point. I can’t wait to go back!

We liked our plunge pool. The staff was great as well.

My friends and I stayed at Lina Point Belize Overwater Resort during a trip to Belize and had a great experience. The property is beautiful and peaceful, located slightly away from the busier areas of San Pedro, which made it feel like a relaxing retreat.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overwater setting made the stay feel unique and memorable. It was a great place to relax in between excursions.

The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful whenever we needed anything. Service throughout our stay was excellent.

Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay and a great base for exploring Ambergris Caye. I would definitely recommend it to travelers looking for a quiet and comfortable stay.

Our stay at the overwater bungalow at Lina Point was fantastic. The bungalow itself was beautifully designed, very comfortable, and truly unique.
The sunsets were absolutely spectacular, and the glass floor panels provided a fascinating view of the water below. Each morning, we saw copious amounts of fish swimming beneath us, and every night we watched tarpon swimming through our glass floors, which was an unforgettable experience. The private plunge pool on the deck was a wonderful feature and perfect for relaxing while enjoying the scenery.
The property was quiet, well maintained, and conveniently located close to town while still feeling peaceful and private.
A special mention goes to Pedro, one of the day workers at Lina Point. He was consistently friendly, helpful, and hardworking, and his efforts truly enhanced our stay.
Overall, this was a memorable and relaxing place to stay in San Pedro, and we would gladly recommend the overwater bungalows at Lina Point to anyone looking for a unique and scenic experience.

We really enjoyed our week at Lina Point and highly recommend the hotel. What it offered for what we paid seemed spot on. The staff was super friendly and all around a positive experience.

Nit-picking negatives:
(Honestly reaching but some folks would probably care more about these than we did..)
- Found one roach in the room, but we have that in our high end Southern California neighborhood so not a big deal.
- Mosquitoes were bad when the wind wasn't blowing, but again not much you can do there. Bring some bug spray and you will be fine.
- Only one lounger on the deck, would have been nice to have two.
- There was some construction happening in the nearby neighborhood, but at reasonable hours and it wasn't very loud.
- Toilet plumbing is a bit sensitive
- Would be nice to have a broom and pool skimmer for some spot cleaning. Just tracked in some dust that would have been nice to not have to involve housekeeping, same with removing some debris from the pool that had accumulated after a few days.
- It is a bit far north to walk to the heart of San Pedro, but we walked 2.5 miles each way one morning and covered most of what you want to see.
- The wall between the bathroom and bedroom does not go all the way up, so the sound travels.

Positives:
- Pretty much everything else.
- The windows in the floor made for great fish watching at night.
- The rooms were a good size and nice to have the kitchen for making a couple meals.
- There is a grocery store not far from the entrance to the neighborhood the hotel is in
- The neighborhood has a gate and guard, and everyone in the neighborhood was super friendly.
- The free breakfast was a nice light starter to the day (not a big meal but enough for us).
- The private deck and pool were great and felt pretty private.
- The air conditioning worked well so got to sleep in a cool room.
- The staff was super friendly and helpful. We booked a tour through them at the same price as viator. The viator tour would have been a large group and we would have had to get ourselves to the meetup in Belize City early. Through the hotel they got us to the boat terminal and it ended up just being 4 of us so a much nicer more private experience.
- The property was well maintained. It is slightly dated but clean and well kept up.
- The drinks at the bar were good, we didn't get to the restaurant.
- You park your golf cart right at your door and feels safe leaving them not locked up.
- We went out on the kayaks which were free and nice to have to check out the mangroves.

We would really recommend this place to anyone that is willing to spend a bit more versus some other hotels to have the overwater experience but are not expecting a 6 star resort. The added distance to town was not really an issue for us, but if you want to be in the middle of everything I would stay south of the bridge.

The room was clean and comfortable. There is filtered water to fill up a water bottle or to make a hot drink- that was a nice touch. Britney, Pedro, Asian, and the rest of the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is great, very tranquil yet close enough to all the activities in San Pedro. The views of the lagoon were beautiful and it was really nice to sit on our balcony and watch the wading birds hunt for fish. For breakfast, the have a house made multi-grain bread that was delicious and they offered a wonderful banana bread from a local bakery that I loved! There is no swimming in the lagoon but they have a pool and kayaks. I would highly recommend this resort.
