Highly recommend!! One of the BEST places we have ever stayed

kay2182 (Philadelphia, PA) on Jan 11, 2025

Omg Naia!!! This was one of the best places we have ever stayed at. Our beach view bungalow was perfectly decorated, perfectly designed, and so romantic. And so clean! We loved the porch and had breakfast there each morning. My husband was thrilled with the fresh coffee beans and French press to make his coffee - fun bonus! The beach was beautiful and calm. It was not very crowded when we went, so we often had the beach to ourselves. My husband borrowed a paddle board, and we could take nice long walks in both directions. The beach captains were very prompt when asking for cushions or paddle boards. We ate at the beach bar a lot, and all of the food was very good and reasonably priced. Just note, dinner service could be slow at times (but not usually a problem for us). Excellent spa too. The staff really put this place above and beyond other resorts. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. We were greeted with welcome drinks and a tour of the ground and our bungalow, which was a very nice way to start. The servers at the restaurant would remember you and greet you each meal. Really really loved this place, cannot recommend it enough!!

High value package deal at a beautiful resort in Placencia, BZ

Dave P on Dec 22, 2024

We really loved Naia. Excellent food and accommodations. The staff was really friendly and helpful. We got a package deal that included all meals/drinks and snorkeling. Really worth it. On the day of my wife's birthday they did this whole thing for her at the restaurant that was very special. The package also included flight from Belize City to Placencia airport and then transport to and from the Placencia airport. Our package also included a Monkey River trip that was cancelled due to weather. They promptly gave us a credit even though we knew that trip was weather-dependent. Nice touch! The grounds were amazing. We stayed in a cottage on the beach with an ocean view. The cottage was very comfortable with outdoor showers, bathtub, kingsize bed, etc. Amazing view. The grounds were really well maintained as well. Can't say enough nice things.

Naia is a Dream Come True

CBG87 (Baltimore, Maryland) on Oct 28, 2024

Naia is so very beautiful, just completely stunning. We stayed in a beachfront studio for our first wedding anniversary and it was perfect. The house has a comfie king bed with soft pillows and blankets, a kitchenette equipped with all sorts of plates, utensils, drink ware, and a coffee grinder for the fresh beans they leave for you. The storage is nice, with two closets and a safe and the bathroom is modern. There’s a beautiful, large, dreamy outdoor shower with Naia soaps, shampoo and conditioner, all smelling wonderfully fragrant…and wrapping yourself in their robe is luxury. In front, there’s a porch with chairs and a table overlooking the ocean and two beach chairs available beachfront for your use. I loved just sitting on the porch, coffee in hand, watching hummingbirds fly by and pelicans dive-bombing fish - a peaceful dream come true. The pool is a teeny bit small. We were there off-season so didn’t have a problem but I could imagine during high season the chairs around the pool would go quickly. But the saltwater pool is a perfect temp and off-season, it was all ours most days. We had an all-inclusive plan with breakfast and lunch. We had plans to eat in Placencia during the evening so we didn’t want to commit to dinner. That said, the hours for breakfast and lunch make it easy to skip dinner too - and we did do that one evening after having lunch at 4:30 pm. The food is delicious with a combination of flavorful Belizean flavors, perfect portions and obviously a skilled chef. The price for alcohol is very reasonable and in Belizean dollars. A Belikin beer was around $6 American. You are spoiled for choice both in food and cocktails. We ate at the 1981 on our last night and the meal, ambiance and service was fantastic. Speaking of service, the overall service was wonderful and felt personal, with friendly and attentive waiters, front desk personnel and housekeepers. All remembered our names and the waiters remembered our favorites. Seriously a dream come true resort all-around. We will be back - and I have promised myself my whole adult life to never return to a location - but will make a rare exception for Naia!

It’s A Jewel In Paradise!!!!

Sac1237 (Midland, Texas) on Aug 31, 2024

I can't get over how gorgeous and peaceful this hotel is… The grounds are very well kept, they only have two restaurants, which one is an outdoor and the other one is on the second floor with an AC, but pretty much the same menu on both. The food was good. I can’t say thank you enough to the most happy,wonderful, humble and friendly staff. They really make you very comfortable and are very helpful. Their outdoor shower was my favorite!!! They have complimentary bikes at the hotel if you wanna explore the surroundings, they also havecomplementary kayaks, and paddle boarding.. If you want to go into town, there are shuttles available I think every 15 to 30 minutes. Their shuttle is also available to pick you up at the airport. We went to celebrate my birthday in Placencia,Belize, and I have to say we had the best experience overall. The rooms at this hotel are beautiful and clean, they really pay attention to every detail. Their body wash smells so good that I couldn’t resist to buy some to bring home and remember such a fantastic experience.!!! To all the staff at this hotel, THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU for making my birthday and our stayed such a memorable one. !! I definitely recommend this place 100% if you are looking for a tranquil place where you can relax and feel very special.

Best retreat ever!

Karen J on Aug 23, 2024

We enjoyed the most wonderful time at Naia Resort. The Staff were so accommodating and friendly from the front desk to the beach staff. Our ocean front bungalow was so beautiful and comfortable. The views were beyond amazing, and the relaxed atmosphere was so enjoyable. We will be back one day!
