"Kinga was the most welcoming of hosts, she is creating a little patch of paradise and the cabana that we stayed in was blissful. Clean, comfortable, and with the most exquisite views to wake up to. Sad we were only there for one night, I could have stayed a month, thank you so much Kinga for your wonderful hospitality xx"

"Our stay at the Dock House was definitely more GLAMPing than camping. We had a great breeze which allowed for us to sleep with the windows open and no mosquito net needed. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have experienced in Belize. (We have been traveling to Belize for years and typically stay in places under $200/night). We had breakfast both mornings and really enjoyed it! Very peaceful 2 days up north. 10/10 recommend!"

"The house was perfect! Private and relaxing and only a 3minute golf cart ride from the stunning, amazing Secret Beach. Our host was great and Franz was the best!!! We will definitely recommend and stay again."

"We recently stayed at X’tan Ha and overall had a pleasant experience. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Their hospitality was definitely one of the highlights of our stay.
The rooms were clean, although they are somewhat dated and could use some updating. We also had a few visits from ants and termites in our room during our stay.
The food was mediocre—not bad, but not particularly memorable. However, if you’re looking for peace, quiet, seclusion, and beautiful beach views, X’tan Ha delivers. The property offers a relaxing atmosphere away from the crowds.
One thing to keep in mind is that it’s about a 40-minute bumpy golf cart ride to most restaurants, shops, and activities in town. For some travelers, the remote location will be a major plus; for others, it may be less convenient.
Overall, if your priority is tranquility, beachfront scenery, and friendly service, X’tan Ha is worth considering."
"the resort was beautiful. loved the pool the kitchen was very nice .very clean. Eiden was very nice and helpful...activity director Karen was awsome and very helpful . making sure all our activities were set up. due to mother nature the beach was not available but there were other beaches near by. karen booked us a tour to check out the Mayan ruins and cave tubing with lunch included. we had an awsome time.....Eddy and Mike {tour guides} were really cool and made sure everyone was comfortable and was having a great time ,they also were very knowledgeable"
"This resort was a dream come true and would have been a perfect 10/10 if not for one issue at checkout.
The location is a true tropical paradise. The remote setting makes it feel like you have the island to yourself, and even the 30-minute boat ride across the Caribbean adds to the sense of escape. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our stay.
The food was outstanding. This is not a buffet-style resort, but there were plenty of menu options, everything was made fresh, and the dishes highlighted local and seasonal ingredients. The property is spacious, so the pool, bar, and relaxation areas never felt crowded. We also enjoyed the variety of activities, including ceviche-making and mixology classes. Despite the remote location, we felt safe exploring nearby beaches and trails.
There was some seaweed, but that’s simply part of visiting this region at certain times of year, and the resort did its best to manage it.
Our only disappointment involved an excursion booked through the resort. We repeatedly confirmed that the quoted price included all taxes and marine park fees, but at checkout we were told those charges were extra, increasing the cost by about 25%. The issue wasn’t the additional expense—it was the lack of transparency.
Overall, the resort is beautiful, the staff are wonderful, and the experience is unforgettable. We would gladly return and still recommend it to others."

"We were a party of 5.Everything went perfect. From the pick up at the airport from Carlos, to de cooking of Lucita (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Food was very good.Rooms/toilet very clean. A/C in each room which makes the house very nice.We had a wonderful stay of 6 nights at Ecape Away.Jerry the owner organized air tickets reservation to/from Belize City and some changes at no cost from Tropic Air.We had some diving experience with White Sands, very close to the property which is a super plus, same as No Worries (Mr Hill). David, also a local guy was recommended for fishing and snorkeling.The summing pool definetly a super plus.The beach view is fantastic (despite sargazo), and the private dock with palapa makes a difference for fishing and to hang around.All staff (Lucita, her son, and Carlos) very helpfull along the day, with suggestions and recommendations where to go and what to do.The house has Laundry which is very useful as well.10/10"
"Property was beautiful and very well maintained. Check in was thorough and well explained as well as the check out process. This is also such a great location with plenty of privacy, but still close enough to everything. Adults, teens, and kids loved it!"
"The place was absolutely charming, it is off grid but you wouldn’t really know. It’s got great beach access and loads of great food options around. Secret beach is just down the path and it is the best beach in the island. Jaime is the chef on the property and his food is to die for! Kayla is also very attentive and they both made our stay comfortable. It’s a very boutique hotel experience, not many rooms on the property so you feel like it’s a very personalized experience."
