Princess Hotel And Casino Free Zone — Hotel in Corozal District

The casino and hotel is in Corozal, Belize, but the country acts like it's in Mexico, only Mexicans get privileges, if coming anywhere from Belize you got to show your passport to get to the hotel, if you're an American citizen you got to pay $20. Every time getting back and forth to the hotel, except if you're going over the Mexican border from the hotel then you don't. The country of Belize don't give its own citizens privileges, they treat them as if we are visitors, and the Mexicans can come and go in our own country as they please, while the Mexicans does not treat Belizeans like that, Belizeans even have to have their car tires sprayed, when entering their borders, while we don't let Mexicans spray their car tires when they come into our country, they can also bring in disease on their tires, it's all for money from the Mexicans, because we're not even sure what they spray on the tires it can be water and they claim it's insecticide, going back to Princess Hotel and Casino, we signed up to stay 14 nights, but only stayed 1 night because of paying $20. at the Corozal, Belize Border each time we want to go back into Corozal, for each American citizen, (if your passport don't say you're a Belizean citizen) if it's an American passport, and also the casino is all about Mexican, you got to play either in Mexican pesos or American money, and you got to let them know what money exchange you're using in case you win they don't pay you in Belize dollars, that's the only time they use Belize money, because then you get cheated and paid less, if you don't let them know you used American dollars, also there the freezone right next to the casino, but only Mexicans can shop there freely, and take it back to their country, Belizeans are not allowed to shop and take it back into Belize, they have to go through customs and subject to be taking away anything they buy, we just couldn't stay there 14 days for going thru customs each time and subject to search all our suitcase each time we had it with us, when we did not even go...

I've watched this hotel decline. It is a shadow of it's former self, and its not due to age. The cause may be a result of botched management or the fact it caters to a devaluated currency, the Mexican peso. The rooms are neat and clean but if you're in one that has two doubles be sure to choose the less favorable because the other will undoubtably lean and squeak. Their continental breakfast is a thing of the past. The menu prices are listed in US dollars and has doubled. Hey call it inflation but that doesn't account for the fact that your meal arrives at room temperature. If you're there for gaming then it's okay, BUT if you're caught between borders make sure you have adequate cash because they no longer accept credit cards of any sort. The receptionist will point you to an ATM which will charge you like a desperate gambler who has to make a wager. In all honesty I would recommend you spend the night in Chetumal Mexico instead, or check in with Belize immigration and stop in Corozal. It'll be much cheaper and you'll enjoy it more. If you do decide to stay try and secure a room on the first level which is the second floor. There are no elevators or porters. And bring your own soap. . . The staff are genuine, but don't ask for a cup of coffee. The waitress will do it cheerfully but it may take a while and it won't be piping hot. She has go downstairs and trek halfway across the casino to get it. The dining area offers none. I give it 2 stars only because of their staff. They will try and make you feel comfortable with what management has given them...

I enjoyed staying at this hotel because the staff was always nice and friendly, however for starters the hotel room did not have any hangers for your clothes, the air condition did not work well, for such a hot place, they promised a room with Wi-Fi , but the one we got on the second floor did not have any, so we had to be moved to the first floor to be able to get Wi-Fi, however, the second floor had a phone for guest service, but the first floor did not, so it seem its either or ither, the view from the second floor was horrible. The hotel stay comes with a free buffett breakfast which was always good, however the parking lot is a zoo, especially on weekends, all the mexicans take over at the casino, and don't ask about the casino, playing there is confusing, you have to go up to the cashier to let them know what currency you'll be playing with, if Mexican pesos, or US dollars or the local Belize dollars. They wl give you a slip with the amount you intent to play wth, so that if you win, you'll get it back in the same currency.i barely played there. Try Las Vegas Casino down the road, around from the Belize immigration check point, they are a little better, if you want to play at a casino. the food is great there too. My stay overall however was very good, because the staff tried their best to accomodiate you. "My home sweet home" (Belize)" love mi land" don't let the little things...
