A vacation is good for a great many things. It can be used to relax, to explore, to temporarily change lifestyles from the grind of home. For all these justifications and more, Hamanasi Adventure and Dive Resort provides a perfect vacation experience.
Environmentally Friendly for Green Tourism in Belize
Hamanasi is located on the coast of Belize, which falls between Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras along the Caribbean Sea. What immediately separates this resort from any other in Belize is the degree to which they honor and protect the environment. Honored in 2009 by TripAdvisor as the number one eco-friendly resort in the world, Hamanasi uses sustainable and responsible methods to preserve its environment as pristinely as possible.
While other coastal resorts will clear-cut the foliage to make room for its buildings and services, Hamanasi leaves standing as many trees as possible, and plants and maintains local flora along every path. From the beach, it is difficult to see the main resort building for the trees. As a result, Hamanasi is green, shaded, natural, and lovely.
Hamanasi's Luxury Accommodations and Belize Tourism
A variety of accommodations are available, whether you prefer a beachfront bungalow or a treehouse suite. The resort headquarters are centrally located, and serve three fresh and unique meals daily. There is a bar as well, of course, with a variety of creative and local drinks and a daily happy hour where visitors can meet and socialize together.
The activities offered by Hamanasi are as varied as the menus. For the ocean-lovers, there are daily snorkeling and scuba diving trips. Specialized excursions to the most impressive Belizean dive sites are available, up to and including the must-see Blue Hole. For the novice diver, there are training courses available, making the wonders of the Caribbean floor available to every guest of the resort.
There are also daily excursions on land. From trips to Mayan ruins to kayaking on the Sittee River, there is something for everyone. As with the reef adventure program, specialty tours are available on land. Guests may book a zipline tour of the jungle canopy or a daylong cave exploration, among other offerings.
An Out-of-the-Way Caribbean Vacation
One thing that is not offered by Hamanasi is a cosmopolitan experience. The resort is truly an escape from metropolitan society. Hamanasi actually encourages its visitors to bring school supplies and toiletries along with them, to donate to the local community. It is situated near the small coastal village of Hopkins, where many of the houses are unfinished and on stilts.
The local bars have dirt floors and only local beer to offer – though between the Belikin varieties that are made in Belize and the Guinness that is brewed in the country leave the barhopper with little to desire. The night life in Hopkins is limited, but the spirit of the resort makes the absence of late-night activity a small loss. It is a place that fosters the “early to bed, early to rise” lifestyle.
Excellent and Attentive Service at Hamanasi
Above all, what sets Hamanasi apart is its guest services. Perhaps due in part to the small number of rooms, there is a personal touch at Hamanasi that is completely unique and inspiring. Guests are greeted by their first names within a day of arrival, and everyone from the desk staff to the groundskeepers is ready with a smile and a friendly greeting to every guest.
The staff excel at anticipating and meeting the needs and desires of their guests. From medical care to poolside drinks and nightly turn-down service, the visitors to Hamanasi will want for nothing. From rubbing alcohol to Red Bull, from Dramamine to decaf, Hamanasi is ready to meet any need. They will even offer shuttle service to and from Hopkins, for grocery or souvenir shopping.
Hamanasi makes a perfect getaway spot for a honeymoon, an anniversary spot, a dive trip, or a quiet family getaway. Whether your intention is sport or relaxation, or both, you will find both peace and adventure at Hamanasi Resort.
