Las Terrazas Resort and Residences - Belize

The staff was wonderful. It was the first time in Belize for my wife and I. Can't say enough about the genuine warmth of the people at the hotel.

Very nice hotel in a seculded part of an already secluded island. Want rest and relaxation? This is the place. Want partying and excitement. Stay away. I wanted the rest so it was perfect. Ways out of town with the only means of transport being the hotel boat or water taxi. Hotel boat is too expensive so stick with the taxi; couple of dollars per person […] each way. Wished the hotel offered some kind of shuttle service but since the taxi works so well may not be necessary. Hotel staff are very attentive and available. Watch out for power outages. We went half a night and half a day without power. Wind knocked out line apparently. Wifi could be a lot better. Seems like there is one access point at the front desk which provides a very week signal to most of the property. Do use the free kayaks to paddle out to reef for snorkeling. Worth the effort. Some of the items from the kitchen are quite good and others not so much. Hamburgers are atrocious but the shrimp quesadilla are very good. Rooms are are clean and in good working order but that's expected from a luxury hotel anyway. Don't expect to swim on the beach though as there is too much sea grass so you end up swimming off the far end of the dock. Watch out for taxi drivers and other tourist trade people, they'll rip you off given the opportunity. Seems like everything has a cost every time you turn around but that's more a comment on the area rather than the hotel. Read more

The only downside is a 7-10 minute boat ride to get to the north end of the island where this place is located but boy is it worth it!! JohnW

I gave a 4 for convenience because it is out of the way...but that's not really the point when you stay here. I gave "surrounding neighborhood" a 4 because there isn't really a surrounding neighborhood. But again, that's not the point either. You come here to have your breath taken away but the beauty that surrounds you. As far as remote locations go, […] it is actually convenient, because they have off-roading golf carts available for rental that you can drive into the nearest town. As I mentioned, we booked this entire trip the night before. We weren't expecting things to be perfect, but while staying here, it absolutely was. We rented a small apartment with a full kitchen and every room was gorgeous (not that you want to stay inside much while you are here). The staff was very friendly and accommodating. One night, we were musing about taking a trip the next day to see Mayan ruins, but it was too late to book anything. One of the staff members made some phone calls and found a tour guide for us that had the next day off. We were able to book a private tour to the ruins (worth it!). The food was yummy, and the menu changed every day. They were also accommodating with the kitchen, helping us once when it was pretty late, and another time creating a dish for us. I recommend the sparkling wine! It was pretty deserted while we were there. The staff told us that it gets very crowded in the tourist season. We went during the "off" season (August), but I have no idea why people don't travel there then. The temperature was perfect...when it rained, it was usually brief, or late at night, and always warm. It would be perfect for a private, romantic getaway in the off season. When it's busy, I heard it's a good time to bring the kids. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone! Read more

Great accommodations...fantastic food (and we are foodies)...staff couldn't have been more accommodating...great pool..wish we'd had time for the spa. 'Rendezvous' the restaurant next door is amazing--crab with chile sauce to die for! Fisherman delivered fresh snapper, lobster tails while we sat there at lunch..know dinner must have been fantastic.

There was probably more staff than guests and everyone was very friendly. They all addressed me by name and had a good attitude. The condos are nice and the beach is excellent, probably one of the nicest on the island. It does get a bit pricey with a 12.5% tax, 12.5% service charge + tip of 10-15% on everything, especially when drink prices were around […] $9-$11 USD + the above charges. Food at the restaurant was good, but again think $30 entrées and when all the other added charges you can spend a few dollars. Two docks down we met a local fisherman who came in every day around 3pm on his kayak, he sold us lobster tails 3 for $10 USD and Snapper for $3 each. With a full kitchen in the condo and a trip to the store we cooked twice. Water taxi is more of a water "bus" that comes every 2 hours during the day and every hour in the evening, you have to plan well. Get the $50 weekly pass or pay $7 each way pp. Terrazas will have someone at the local airstrip on the island to pick you up, he'll drive you about 5 blocks to a dock where the Terrazas boat will pick you up and take you to the condos, they do charge $20 pp for this. Everything is a "small fee" as they like to call to it. Have no regrets on Terrazas and am glad we stayed there for a week. Read more

Stayed for a week in October. Very friendly staff, clean amenities, beautiful landscape. The Resort restaurant was excellent. White Sands Dive shop is conveniently located for scuba diving and snorkeling excursions. Water taxi service available to take you to San Pedro for shops and restaurants. Overall, great place to stay! Restaurants to try: Blue […] Water Grill, Wild Mango, Elvi's Kitchen and The Treasure Chest @Lily's Hotel. Read more

When we arrived in our room the smell of mold was over whelming. There were puddles of water in the bedroom, living room and kitchen. We wiped up the puddles because housekeeping never came. Later in the evening the puddles came back, but when I called down to the front desk no one came. While I was taking a shower I noticed the water rising and it […] started to spill into the rest of the bathroom because water was not draining properly. We called to the front desk and although they were slow to react they finally moved us. During our stay we also had a water outage and clogged toilet. Las Terrazas looks exactly as advertised. It's a beautiful place. I plan to go back to Belize, but next time I will stay at CoCo Beach. Thier website does not do them justice. It's actually equally as nice as Las Terrazas on the outside.

Extremely high-class hotel. Huge rooms that were first class in every way. beautiful pool and very nice restaurant on property. very friendly and helpful staff. little far away from town, but not hard to get around with water taxi (prefer the golf carts on the other side of the island). Overall, a first class experience and highly recommended.

The hotel's chic Mediterranean design was gorgeous within the rooms and around the property. The pool was so beautiful that is seemed to be the gathering space for most of the guests as well as the occasional bird who wanted to partake in the action. We were in a villa (1 bedroom) with full kitchen that was perfect for taking a few groceries, drink […] mix, snacks along with us. We were on a bit of a budget, so tried to prepare to not always be eating out every meal. Belize is not cheap with regards to food so come prepared. "O" restaurant's calamari was fantastic as is their ginger lemonade (with vodka). Service was outstanding across the board. The location was perfect for the honeymooner or mature couple who just wanted to get away. It is a very quiet location so keep that in mind if you want to going out. Not to worry though, a water taxi will have you in San Pedro in no time, if you want to go to the Chicken Drop on the Thursday night! Read more

My family and I spent 6 relaxing days at Las Terrazas. Our 1 bedroom suite was modern, clean and spacious, with all the amenities you would expect. The pool was fabulous. The food unfortunately was quite average. We tried O once for dinner and were disappointed. Bland, over sauced entrées. We did enjoy breakfast, especially the fry jacks ... The best […] we had in Belize. The staff was helpful and friendly. Keep in mind that this hotel is 5 miles from San Pedro. We were disappointed that there were no golf carts available, during our stay. We rented bicycles - they need a few kids bikes. It was quite the trek to San Pedro with our 10 yr old on the handle bars. 40 minutes on a dirt road ..... On day 3, we rented a cart from a company in San Pedro and had a great time, riding back and forth to town. Read more

Beautiful high end condo style resort with very modern and zen look. The staff is great and helpful. We took the kayak for a 20 ride to the edge of the barrier reef for some great snorkeling in 5 ft of water. The meals at the hotel are rather expensive so we chose to take full advantage of the first class kitchen which is featured in all units. A great […] selection of food and drink is available in san pedro which is about 4 miles away, at reasonable prices. Complementary use of the kayaks and the hobie cat was great. Only thing we did not like was the sea grass in the shallow water along the beach, which is part of the natural environment, I would recommend some water booties if you want to swim into the beach. We will definitly return for some more relaxation time at this resort. It is not easy to buy fresh fish, but if you bring some basic fishing gear you can try to catch your own fresh snapper on the dock or out at sea in the kayak. Read more

Tillbringade några trevliga dygn på hotellet med generellt bra service. Det jag reagerade mest på var städerskorna som både kom långt ut på dagen (även om det var lågsesong) och sedan kunde lägga tunga väskor ovanpå kläderna etc. Den enda restaurangen hade en klen meny och skulle man någon stans fick man ta "båtbussen" som kostade 7 US$ in till San […] Pedro (en väg).
