8/10 Good
"This beautiful property is a hidden gem. The staff was warm, welcoming, and accommodating and the grounds are beautiful. There was not a ton of other guest which was nice to keep a relaxing vibe but some of the activities were limited. You could not enjoy the ocean because of the accumulation of sargassum and the water pressure needed to be consistently stronger. Despite this, I would gladly return and highly recommend Itz’ana for your next Belizean vacay!"

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms are modern with TV, fridge and coffee maker with capsule provided. Very spacious bathroom with big walk-in shower. Cold AC and ceiling fan in each room. Expansive your own outdoor patio. Nice /clean pool with the bar and pizza maker very nearby. Prices on drinks and food are reasonable. We use room service and order all meals into the room. Amazing see pier with two story at the end and the bar. My twin boys jump all the time from there into the see. Every night staff making a fire pit and provided with marshmallows and sticks. Fill very safe inside and outside the resort. Perfect place for family with small children(s). Highly recommended...great location, amenities and prices compare to AIRNB/VRBO rentals."
