Lamanai Hotel & Marina

Heaven in Paridise!!! Absolutely wonderful place to stay! Great people, solitude right off the highway! Wonder manager!!!

On arrival there was a friendly welcome from Nate and although we were early our room was ready. The hotel has a bar and restaurant which operates separately from the hotel, it's called The Deck. It is open most of the day and  looks out over the lake which is really pleasant and good for spotting various birds and small crocodiles.  The restaurant is supposed to be closed on Tuesdays but luckily they were open when we were there. Best to check. The hotel office can help with tours if needed. They arranged the Lamanai boat tour for us which we really enjoyed. We were happy with our room which was huge, with a very big comfortable bed, and it had a balcony. There was plenty of hanging space. The air-conditioning worked well. There was a hairdryer in the room and also a TV. We wanted to watch some TV, maybe see some local channels, as we relaxed in the room in the evening, but we could only get the apps to work, such as Netflix, intermittently. The bathroom had some toiletries and plenty of towels and loo roll, however due to limescale around the taps and shower it meant that the water didn't flow very well. The shower was just a trickle really. Orange Walk Town is around 8km away so you need your own car or a taxi to get in for dinner. We decided to stay in the hotel, and the dinners we had there had plenty of choice, and we really enjoyed everything we ate over the 4 evenings. All staff were really friendly and helpful.

Stay was okay. We didnt have hot water until the morning we left. The restaurant was pretty good but the cocktails were almost mocktails. Staff was very friendly, Nate especially.

The property was quiet, with a relaxed atmosphere. All the rooms are on the lake with the most beautiful views, especially in the mornings. The view is exceptional. The reflection of the sun and clouds reflect on the dark waters, which gives a magical feeling. Staff was very attentive. On Christmas eve, the staff asked us if we needed anything before they got off for the holidays. We are very pleased with our stay at Lamanai Landings.

This was my favorite part of our trip. There were so many birds and wildlife literally outside the front porch first thing in the mornings. Waking up at about 6:00am proved to be worth it , as the morning fog was mystical with all the jungle sounds. It was absolutely stunning. The food was UNBELIEVABLE, the staff was so kind and caring- the Lamanai boat tour is a once in a life time experience, us and other visitors were raving about it. The people we met were from all over the world, and everyone was having a blast. It’s a short $12.00US Dollar ride to Orange Walk to enjoy the town and the locals. Beyond a good experience.

Good place to take the river boat tour to the maya ruins from.
