Birthday dinner was very special. Thanks to Julio and the staff at the Paddle House restaurant

The nicest room / suite I’ve ever stayed in, beautiful location.
The food and drinks are expensive and I’d have paid it if the quality was right. In 2 weeks travelling around Belize this was by far the worst dining experience.
Ceviche on the Jeti: Ceviche served in small bowl in a wooden box, chips supposed to be put in box which didn’t look hygienic. Asked for knife and fork response from Barman “I must order those tomorrow!” Including a pina colada 25 US dollar for this poor service and crap food.
Dinner: BBQ Korean chop, very dry, the potato and spinach disgusting. The chef needs to try his food, this was horrible.
I think with a cocktail it was 45 US dollar. The service was lacking too as I was going to order a different cocktail and some mint ice cream but had to wait too long for someone to come.
Breakfast: ok nothing special
Not the first review about the bad food.

The staff was extremely friendly Capt. Larry greeted us every morning asked us how we were doing and even provided us suggestions for the day activities. Room was nice and clean, ocean views just like it stated in the advertisement. Must go to Ella’s the food there is amazing.
We booked this room because it had direct beach access the pictures show clear blue water but during our stay the water was a dirty brown color with seaweed and a order that hits you before you even walk onto the property. This happens every year around this time after to speaking with the locals it can last for a full month. Front desk try to down play it, but there should be a Disclaimer stating from the last week of Jul to the second or third week of August don’t expect to have beach access or blue water. This was so upsetting as we had to pay additional $280 dollars US, to go to a private island for the day and enjoy what we thought we were getting.

The location was great - the view was terrific - our room was wonderful and looked out across the beach to the ocean!
We enjoyed walking on the beach everyday, it goes on for kms.
We enjoyed borrowing the free bikes and going for a ride every morning.
The Paddle Wheel restaurant was very nice, and had a great location, with open doors to an ocean view.
The Big Dock and covered hut was great - really enjoyed it for ocean watching and moon gazing.
The beach had ocean trash on it every day, that some days was raked up, but most days was not raked.
The Paddle Wheel Restaurant was too expensive to use for all our meals.
The Big Dock was great for jumping off, but the swim-up ladder was impossible to climb back up on!

I loved everything about this property, the staff were incredible, the food, the facilities... we had the best stay ever. We would highly recommend, 20/10 stay at the Colonial. Chris looked after us the whole time we were there and we saw him make an effort and look after all the guests, he always went the extra mile. Captain Larry was also really kind and insightful- he always went out of his way to make recommendations and check we were having a great time.
There wasn't anything that we didn't love, you must stay here

The place is very quiet and clean
The shower was hard to turn off, if I turned it far too hot it was difficult to turn back

The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was very spacious , clean and comfortable. the sea view was lovely
I traveled on a Monday and the pizza spot was close and the pool side bar closed early but that more about my day of travel rather than being about the property

I loved the scenery, it's a very picturesque facility. Plus it's right on the water.
They tried an interesting take on the Garifuna cultural food and, by interesting, I mean terrible. The service was absolutely horrible. I had to go get my own drinks at the bar. The restaurant wasn't busy in the slightest. The food came before the drinks. When I went to pay he asked for the pin and I told him it's a credit card. The Wi-Fi never worked. I asked for help, nothing was done even after I asked multiple times. I requested wash clothes 2 times and it took 3 hours to get to me. For the money, the service is abysmal. Beautiful or not I would never stay here again.

Everything was good, but a little pricey and not a whole lot of different options for dining. Other than that, we loved it!

The food was delicious but very expensive. The informal, friendly, beautiful setting. The staff was warm and friendly.
The price of dinners was very high, beaches not cleaned daily of plastic and trash, room cleaning service minimal and irregular
6.0 / 10.0
the location right on the beach was beautiful. The swings and ceviche bar were really lovely. It looked really beautiful in the restaurant and on the grounds.
Sadly this is all quite negative. Although the grounds were lovely we weren’t impressed with our apartment. It felt really grubby and like it needed a really good deep clean. The bed being in the living room made it difficult. Even if there was a room divider or something it would have made it feel cosier. The bathroom was dirty and towels were stained. There was also a party that went on until 3.00 in the morning which kept us awake. The restaurant was really overpriced and we didn’t have good food while we were there. Also, the pools seemed to be really heavily chlorinated. My kids eyes were so sore every time we used them. overall it felt like things looked good on the surface but actually wasn’t that great. The staff were lovely though.

My room was an upgrade and it was extremely beautiful with a private soaker tub and mini courtyard. It was excellent.
The air unit was a little complicated. I was either freezing or sweating like a lunatic, particularly in the night, as the air unit and head of the bed were on the same wall. Sometimes I just slept at the foot of the bed so I could feel the air. Nothing they could change I imagine, and just a minor thing.
The one other thing was there was a mini fridge in the room but no microwave. That would have been handy to rewarm my rice and beans dish I saved from the night before.

We stayed for 2 nights as part of our honeymoon. I’ll get the negative out of the way first, we found it hard to find as The Colonial wasn’t very well sign posted & our booking had a street name that our sat nav couldn’t find. We now know we needed to search for The Lodge at Jaguar Reef that was easy to find.
Now for the positives & believe me there are plenty. Once we had found the correct location we walking into the reception area completely blown away by the design of the place, the welcome we received & the service by all staff at check in, I was even that impressed by the ladies restrooms I took a photo, very stylist. We booked The Colonial which is part of a larger complex. The complex as a whole is an incredible place, it’s absolutely beautiful. I cannot fault the staff, they are all so friendly, professional & the most loveliest of people we had the pleasure of meeting. My husband happened to mention we were here on our honeymoon but we certainly did not expect to be upgraded to the honeymoon suite, for this we are forever grateful for this amazing gesture & what can I say, it’s the most beautiful room I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you so much. It was also my 40th birthday while we were there so made full use of the gorgeous bar at the end of the pier & had breakfast & evening meals (food quality was unbelievable). The setting is absolutely stunning, what a beautiful place with the most amazing people. We loved it & wish we had stayed longer xxx

Buena categoría. El cuarto muy cómodo.
Insoportable música constante, repetida y muy fuerte en los bares . Este hotel no respeta la tranquilidad de sus pasajeros y no valora el silencio para escuchar el sonido del mar y la naturaleza. La música no me permitía conversar en voz normal ni hablar por celular, ni escuchar la música que YO ELIJO. El hotel debería modernizarse y entender que en el año 2025 TODOS podemos escuchar nuestra música preferida en nuestro celular y no tener que soportar lo que un Bartender elige !
