Thanks for posting on this property! I'm actually headed there next week against my better judgment of staying at new properties. The hotel has been extremely responsive on a multitude of issues as I'm actually taking a group of 10 people. It's clear there is the "new" vista building and the "old" reef house and most of the positive experiences you will read about come from people in the Vista building or the new Villas but NOT the old Reef House. This property seems to be HIGHLY misleading regarding their room descriptions and pictures especially when it comes to the old Reef House rooms. They do seem aware though and have been actively adding real pictures (as opposed to renderings) and tweaking the room descriptions. I booked a 3 bedroom beach villa back in April and the room description has gone from like 5800 sq feet to like 1800! A massive massive difference....and the plunge pool looks no larger than the size of a standard bath tub!

Can I ask how the beach was and if there was any problem with the smell of sargassum while you were there? I almost bailed on this property from some of the reviews a few weeks ago where the stench was so bad you couldn't sit outside at the beach or even the pools! Hardly an enjoyable Belize trip if you are stuck indoors or left gasping for air sitting outside with that stench!

The breakfast situation sounds EXTREMELY annoying and I had actually already been in touch with management about the issue and have their assurances their wont be any breakfast charge issues during out stay (I don't want to be dealing with that with 10 people every morning). I do have to say overall the F & B prices do seem crazy high considering its Belize but I do know they are the premier property now so as long as it's excellent I guess thats ok.
