Ceiba Beach Resort

I really loved my stay at Ceiba. This is a small, friendly, cute resort that meets all the needs of a traveler looking for a calm and restorative stay while they're adventuring in Belize. My partner and I stayed here for our 10-day Valentine's trip and it was everything we could have asked for. The highlights were the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, the AMAZING food, and the clean grounds. From the poolside bathrooms to the parking area, everything was clean and orderly. Some of the meals were the best I've ever had abroad (including Paris, Bangkok, and Madrid). Michael, our bartender most nights, was so kind and sweet! I count him as a vacation friend! Pros: new and very very clean; smart TVs in the room; wonderful beach with calm shallow waters; nice pool with a shaded swim up bar; mini-kitchen in the condo for making small meals and heating up leftovers; great A/C to beat the heat; excellent food on-site and at Sirenian; free perks at the Sirenian sister resort like mini-golf and pickle ball and a gym (w/ free shuttle). Cons (small things that some people might not like, but didn't impact my trip at all): no in-room phone, no iron or hair dryer, basic bed linens (not high thread count or pillow top), small menu.

Took 2 days to get my tv fixed from being stuck on the previous guest google account. There was no chair in my room or an oven or toaster.as was stated as items to had been found in my room I eat gluten free and ate cold slices of frozen bread from having no toaster. The view was the back of another cabana and the walkways around the property is loose gravel. Just for toast and eggs is $25 and it doesnt state if its in US or Belize dollars. There wqs never any front desk personnel past 8pm at night and i had to leave ky room key untop of the front desk where anyone could of taken it as the feont sesk sits wide open as you walk in with just a chair ajd table.

A place of peaceful, gentle rhythms with attentive staff. Squeaky clean and brand new ✨

Beautiful place and beautiful staff. Great food and drinks. Incredible landscaping and great local restaurants 5 minute walk on the beach north. Maya Bistro Will be back

Ceiba is a new resort with cook that is out of this word. The food is unbelievable, presentation service taste 10 Our room had a 3 loaded diapers i garbage, door to room were not sealed enough to cover the street traffic noise. Resort doesn’t offer kayaks or bikes that we were looking forward to use. I would come back again, I am sure that above points are easily taking care off. Staff is 10. Location 10

Small footprint, but does a lot with a little. A handful of cabanas along a beautifully maintained stretch of beach are arranged around an open-air main house with restaurant, pool, and bar with both swim-up and ocean-view seating. We stayed in one of the condo apartments backing up to the main road (we do wish we would have known). They're on the small side even for couples - very basic kitchenette with few cabinets, a "queen" that's really a full size bed, no seating area inside other than a couple of counter stools (though the balcony's spacious with chairs and looks out on lush, quiet walkways to the beach). There is a lack of clothing & towel hooks - given that visitors are spending their days beachside, poolside or on wet daytrips. They need more. Linens could've been nicer too, but you need to factor for the still-young tourist industry and its limited resources; cleaning is only available on request, plumbing is septic, and we had to ask someone to come turn on the hot water. That said, the staff couldn't have been nicer, and Ceiba guests benefit from a partnership with Sirenian Bay resort down the road -- you can shuttle there for minigolf, gym access, pickleball and another pool & beachfront (though we preferred Ceiba). Maya Beach doesn't have a lot of amenities compared to the village -- you'll need to get a car, golfcart or taxi for best variety of groceries / dining options (though the amazing Maya Beach Bistro is a very short walk!) -- but we liked the quiet!

Ambiance

The suite door did not open after several tries extremely difficult to operate the electronic door opener

The bungalows were very comfy and very quiet.

New building construction started early in the morning, but that is to be expected in a new resort

Thé pool and staff were very nice. Beachfront was also lovely.

No ability to cook

Upon arrival Kyle made us feel welcome and at home. Kyle was extremely informative, accommodating, and his many years in hospitality is clearly an asset to this resort. My husband and I would go back and stay again here when visiting placencia belize.
