Modern Hotel

This is a great hotel and it's very affordable and modern. It's centrally located between downtown and secret beach. It has elevators, which is a plus in Belize. The food from the restaurant was great. I will definately stay here again.

This is a beautiful property and the rooms are spacious, clean and the ocean view room has great views of the ocean. They’ve several restaurants with very good food. It’s only a few minutes outside of town. The staff is amazing especially Mireisy she’s so helpful and goes the extra mile to make you have a great experience. There’s several shops and restaurants nearby and next door supermarket has everything from liquor to phone charges. If you’re looking for safe, clean, and beautiful hotel Oceanside I highly recommend booking here. I can’t wait to return. I enjoyed my birthday weekend. Thanks to Watermark wonderful staff.

Avoid at ALL costs!!!

This hotel is in cahoots with the San Pedro police to exhort tourists for money. The manager will call the police then you’ll be threatened to be arrested (over something very petty) if you dont pay the police the money. The police then give the hotel (the manager) a kick back. Happened to us and I’ve heard other stories from people that had very similar situation happened. Pictures online of the hotel are VERY deceiving. The roof top pool is an oversized bath tub. So small and useless. No one hangs out up there and it closes at 5pm. The hotel does not have but one ice machine and it is on the rooftop that closes at 5pm so….i had two very large un authorized charges on my card that I had to dispute. It claims ocean front but between the hotel and the beach is a junk yard of hotel remodeling materials you’re forced to look at. If you like being scammed this is the hotel to stay at!! If not, avoid at ALL costs!!

Mostly good. Far from other amenities but that is my fault for not doing more research. First morning there I had to be somewhere at 8 am. The front desk promised me a ride there but was a half hour late and then the driver had no idea where to take me after saying she did. She ended up dropping me off a 15 minute walk from where I was to be.

Noisy & highly overpriced. You have to wear earplugs to sleep there. It’s located on the main drag so you hear construction trucks starting at 4 AM and golf carts all night. Outlet did not work so my phone did not charge. It’s hard to sleep because it’s too bright. All the doors are glass so you can see light through them from the main hallway.must have eye cover. The hot water heater doesn’t work well. It doesn’t get hot enough and then another time it will fluctuate and go from too cold to too hot. The price was astronomical for how loud and how cheap of a building this is. I would definitely find somewhere else to stay in the future.
