This is an amazing place! Very quiet and peaceful. We absolutely loved our stay. They reserved our golf cart for us and booked our excursions with ease. I will definitely be returning.

Amazing property but more importantly an amazing staff that goes out of their way to make sure you have a perfect vacation. I can’t speak highly enough about the crew that works at Xanadu. From travel arrangements to excursions to local recommendations they consistently exceeded my expectations
The staff is WONDERFUL. They try to go above and beyond and are very friendly. I would recommend the resort just based on the staff alone! Thank you for being great!
The room itself is okay. It was very spacious for our family, but does need a little updating. Our oven and our TV didn't work well, and the wifi was not reliable.
Other than that, great stay. Thanks again!

This place is wonderful. Quiet in a busy area. Felt completely safe, comfortable and the staff are all excellent to work with. Rooms have all you need and little perks like free bike or kayak use. We were here for my daughter’s birthday and they had a great treat to help celebrate. Would recommend.

Barely made it home before I felt obligated to come tell everyone about this hidden treasure! As much we I would like to keep this secret to myself, everyone coming to San Pedro needs to know about this resort. Room are clean, resort is absolutely stunning, great location. But the staff, wow.

Lovely Villa. Pool was gorgeous. Private dock and beach. Away from the busyness of San Pedro but close enough to dining and grocery with golf carts to rent if you want to explore more of San Pedro. Gorgeous view out our window. Very happy we chose to stay here. Excellent staff also.

Xanadu is absolutely heavenly. The property is beautiful and well-kept and every single person there was incredibly nice. You feel like you're in the jungle but in a beautiful cozy bed with updated bathrooms, and an incredible heated pool (and I mean HEATED), a hot tub with a killer view of the ocean...exceeds all expectations. Drinks are amazing, just know there is no restaurant on site, but you can easily walk to multiple ones.

A beautiful serene getaway
Fabulous grounds! It feels like a jungle getaway. The pool, hot tub and beach area were super relaxing. We snorkled a few times and the boat picked us up right at our dock. You can walk down the beach to town for dinner. The staff was exceptionally friendly. The actual units were fabulous too. We prepared some meals and ate then on our large balcony. We would stay here again!

The staff were welcoming and it was a hidden paradise. The accommodations were incredible. We had a two floor suite and it was so clean and comfortable. The staff helped to ensure that we were comfortable and acclimated to the area and how to get around. Plenty of places to eat and venture to. We also did a glass bottom boat ride that was arranged by the resort staff and the boat picked us up at the end of the dock. Incredible!!! We will definitely go back again.

We had 2BR, 2BATH apartment. It was very clean and nice. It was pretty dark and we had to use lights even during a day. We get some noise from the unit above. I recommend to get the upstairs unit, it will be quiet and maybe more daylight. Xanadu has nice small heated pool and jacuzzi. The beach is not good for swimming - typical for the 95% of the whole area. The only real beach is Secret Beach 1 hr. away by golf cart or water taxi. No restaurant in Xanadu, just a bar.
Xanadu was the perfect place for our family of 5 to stay and we will 100% stay there again when we go back. ALL staff was friendly and more than accommodating. Our 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath was perfect and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook when we rented out the grill on the beach. They handle all of our excursions with ease. We rented a 6 passenger golf cart through the resort and had a minor issue with it not starting, but they were on site to fix it within minutes. The pictures don't do justice. Highly recommend Xanadu. Oh, and we originally had two twin beds in the kids room but after they say my 3 kids pushed the two beds together, they took it upon themselves to switch them out and provide them with a king bed. They were soooo excited!

Amazing!!! I almost don’t want to write this so people won’t catch on to my secret spot (haha) When you first get there you are offered a complementary drank which was amazing. The pick up and drop off service they offer is a major plus and helps take away some of your worry. The accommodations were great ac was very cold and I slept like a baby in the comfortable bed that I wanted to bring back to the states with me :) Everyone is very friendly and the staff is top notch and always willing to help with any questions you may have. We loved the pool and took a snorkeling trip and the captain picked us up right at the dock. The landscaping at this place was truly beautiful iguanas and lizards roam free and just so peaceful even though it’s very close to town but definitely doesn’t feel like it. We can’t wait to return.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Xanadu Island resort. The hotel is hidden in a lush setting. The bedrooms are comfortable although they are not as roomy as they look on the pictures.
The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There are golf carts for rent and bikes are complimentary, as well as kayaks. The pool is very pleasant and quiet. The only downside is the company used by the hotel for snorkeling, Lil'Alfonso. The guide is rude, arrogant and obnoxious. He makes you feel miserable when you share an opinion he doesn't agree with, and he doesn't respect the marine life. He dived and disturbed a stingray resting on the sand just to show off. His behaviour was despicable.
We still enjoyed our tour because the place is just unbelievable.
I would definitely go back to Xanadu Island Resort!
The accommodations at Xanadu are excellent. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The office staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We did multiple activities and they connected us with great vendors. I highly recommend staying at Xanadu Resort.
Traveled with wife and two older teenage boys. Xanadu is a great place to relax, access water excursions from their dock, and explore San Pedro. The golf cart ride to Secret Beach is about 50 mins, even so, the Xanadu is a great place to enjoy Ambergris Caye on a family vacation. We look forward to visiting again!
