Almond Beach Resort at Jaguar Reef

The transportation service to and from BZE was horrible. We were told of a 12:30 shuttle and one never arrived. We even paid extra upgrade charges on Southwest airlines to ensure we would be outside of airport for the 12:30 shuttle. When we arrived we were told by the shuttle driver who was 2 HOUR LATE, that he was the 3:30pm shuttle and no one told him we would be here at 12:30pm (even though travel times were shared when booking). And since no one told him we were going to be there he went shopping. After he arrived late, we then had to wait an additional hour for the next group of travelers to arrive by plane. They do not share this information: YOU WILL HAVE A SHARED SHUTTLE AND IT WILL MAKE AS MANY STOPS AS THEY HAVE TO FOR OTHER GUEST. It is not a private shuttle and you will pay over $200 for it. You are better off taking a taxi for only $20 more. A taxi will be there at your set time and you will not have to wait 2 HOURS for your schedule shuttle to arrive. Staff was friendly once on resort. Our favorite was Walter at the pool bar. He was wonderful!

Wonderful stay in a great community

Smaller portion of a small resort. Well laid out. Room was very comfortable. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Restaurant was average.

Beautiful Property. The dock bar was a great place to relax, read and/or have a drink.

Almond Beach Resort was a perfect place to stay for 2 nights while visiting our friends in Hopkins. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with nice decor. The pool was right outside our door and the beach was only steps from the pool. Breakfast and lunch were very good and the Happy Hour drink specials were great. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. And the price we paid was very reasonable compared to other similar resorts we stayed at in Belize.

The place is beautiful, no doubt. Gorgeous setting on the sea, palm trees and hammocks. However, I was turned off from the minute I arrived at check-in. I arrived a day earlier than my group and booked the same type of room so I could unpack once and not have to move rooms. I had called to confirm that was okay. When I arrived, I was told I'd have to move. Fine. Not very cool, but fine. But what really rubbed me the wrong way---they would not let me take my luggage wtih me to my room. A small carry on bag. Literally took it from my hand. I had my heavy laptop backpack on it so I didn't have to put that on my back, but they took the roller bag, yet didn't mind seeing me schlep the backpack by myself. I waited in the room 10 minutes (no phones in the rooms to call for status) then walked back to reception and voila...bag still sitting there where I was forced to leave it. Seriously? I don't mind letting people do their jobs, but then deliver! It just felt rude and unnecessary and their attitude was "Well, you're on vacation." I am actually working, and wanted my bag for personal reasons for which I didn't owe an explanation. Needless to say, it spoiled day one. Luckily I have two more days to enjoy the beautiful setting. And FYI, since there are no phones in the rooms, I will now have to carry my bag and backpack to the lobby to change rooms.

The cabana hut on the beach was perfect! The food is great on and off the resort and all the staff is excellent. Good choice of activities on and off the resort. Close enough to town to walk or rent bikes or a golf cart or a taxi. The sand fleas were the worst but of course that cannot be helped. It is hot and very humid but if you can do activities near a water source as it was good to dip yourself or able to take a break in the shade and enjoy a cold beer :).

Loved the whole experience. The staff, accomodations, food, etc couldnt be better. Loved the beach, pool over looking the beach, the free activities (kayaking, paddle boarding, rope swing to name a few). One of the best places in the world for snorkeling and diving. Great excursions available.

Awesome place for vacation. The resort is a very private , clean and has beautiful location

This place was amazing! The staff, rooms, property, and everything else was great. The food for each meal during the days were delicious. The pool areas were clean with quick service. Beachfront with plenty of seating. Excursions were available to book for great prices right on the property and the spa was also very nice with affordable prices.
