Corona Del Mar Hotel — Hotel in San Pedro Town

Overall, the hotel is fine. The location is ideal as it is a quick 5-minute walk from the water taxi port and a 15-minute walk from the airport. And the hotel has a dock for your dive or tour boat to pick you up at. The staff were friendly and courteous (though not very helpful in helping us schedule activities, as they never got back to us about our inquiries). The room was spacious (though the bathroom a bit small) and the bed was comfy enough where it didn’t give us any aches or pains in the morning. Other pluses include the amenities they had for guests. For example, they have filtered water in the lobby (although the lobby closes from 10pm to 6am), offer free beach towels, and have umbrellas for you to borrow in the event of a sudden tropical shower. And now for the minuses. The restaurant Lost Gringos Bar & Grill is located right in the center of the hotel. They don’t accept credit cards and gratuity is automatically included in every order…even take out. Also, because of where the restaurant is located, sound from the bar travels to the rooms very easily, and there is loud music and noise everyday until midnight! So, if you are into partying late and you are a night owl, then this hotel is for you! If you need to be in bed before midnight and/or are sensitive to noise…maybe find a quieter...

My room didn't have hot water in the shower. When we spoke to the front desk, they said that we should run the hot water in the sink until it was hot, and that then we would get hot water in the shower. It didn't work. We were there for a week, taking cold showers.

Their restaurant serves you on plastic plates and plastic silverware. The complimentary breakfast that they advertise is scrambled eggs and a hot dog. I'm not kidding. I'm from Chicago. I know what a hot dog tastes like.

The pool is so over chlorinated that you can't use it. When you talk to the groundskeeper, he says that he has to keep it that way because of things blowing in off of the beach. Every other resort on the island has pools in front of their beaches. Why is it that no one else chooses to pour so much chlorine into their pools that your eyes turn bright red?

I should have known the quality of the resort given what they advertise on their front wall. They advertise complimentary horseshoe lessons on their front wall. If that is the best part of your stay, then you should certainly spend your money elsewhere.

We had four days left in our stay, and were so dissatisfied, that we booked another hotel room and left. They wouldn't even consider a refund. Stay away. This place...

Belize is expensive, so if you'd rather spend your money on snorkeling or SCUBA, save by booking a room at Corona del Mar. Very clean, big bed, huge room, A/C & ceiling fan. The room had a microwave, bar fridge, and coffee maker so you can buy groceries and save even more money. Also a small security lockbox.|Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. You can book excursions right at the desk. Free coffee and water in the lobby. |Small pool, but very nice. Beach chairs under big palm trees. Soft sand. The ocean is accessible by some slippery stairs down from the sea wall. Shallow water. There is a dive shop right out front, but I found it to be more expensive than other options. (I personally did snorkel trips with Searious Adventures.)|I was disappointed with the food at the on-site restaurant but I only went once. Other guests said they had nice meals there.|Weird thing is that the TV didn't have cable, just YouTube, Tubi, and you could log on to your Netflix account.|There is a small bar across the road that had loud music and karaoke on the weekends. It's also a restaurant but I didn't eat there.|It's about a 15-minute walk into the center of San Pedro town. Faster if you rent a golf cart. Walking along the beach is nicer...
