Turtle Inn

We were sold on the “stunning and comfortable” seaside villa at about 2x the price of a luxury Hawaiian resort. The seaside turned out not to be a beach but a sharp rocky pier, dropping into a stretch of kelp filled murky water. After realizing that location was not kid friendly for our kid-focused party, we tried to exchange and were then denied all options. The reservationist did not communicate to the hotel, because when we got there our party and even departure date were wrong. We were placed farthest away from family amenities next to a private kids pool that we could not use - but that you could hear kids laughing and screaming from morning to evening. My son so wanted to join the fun, but could only wistfully press his face against the wall. There were signs of better days. The staff was at times very attentive. Other times requests were dropped

Fabulous time at an incredible venue. Turtle Inn rates 5 stars plus. Food, service, amenities and arranged excursions were best ever. Loved our hut (aka cabana). Will be recommending it to everyone.

Our seaside cottage had a wonderful view and was at the end of the property. We were only a few feet away from the "Adult Pool" which we swam in every day. The staff were super friendly and helpful and went above and beyond in everything, including our dining and arranging our two excursions. We loved the Sunset Cruise around Placencia Bay and the Monkey River Tour (insect repellent is a must). We had a fabulous stay and will surely be back. Turtle Inn is a real gem in paradise!

Enjoyed an unforgettable trip to Belize with family. We started our adventure at Blancaneaux Lodge and ended it at the Turtle Inn. Our first visit to the Turtle Inn was 12 years ago and it continues to be a special destination for us. It's been incredible sharing this place with our kids and grandkids the last two years. Martin (Manager) is very attentive and immediately greeted us when we arrived. At Turtle Inn, the staff quickly becomes family. There is so much to do and explore. It is a great place to bring kids and offers the perfect balance of adventure and downtime. I highly recommend Belize to anyone looking for a beautiful, enriching getaway. I already booked our 2027 trip!

Turtle Inn absolutely delivered for our family. The snorkel tour was a highlight — swimming with sharks, turtles, and stingrays is the kind of thing my kids will talk about for years. We stayed in the Roman Laguna room, which was ideal for a family. The kids had their own separate structure with beautiful patios and a private pool. On land, my 10-year-old loved the chicken coop and my 7-year-old was obsessed with the bunnies — those small details really make it special for little ones. The décor has a distinct Wes Anderson quality to it — lived-in and considered without being pretentious. And our personal concierge Suzy was genuinely wonderful, especially with the kids. They haven’t stopped mentioning her since we got home. We can’t wait to come back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
