Buttonwood Belize

This is a really lovely place and the staff make the experience even more enjoyable. We stayed at a first floor ( 2nd floor to Americans) room. Very spacious with a lovely view across the clean beach and coconut trees over the sea. I was concerned about late night noise at Hopkins as there are quite a few beach shacks which play music till late in the night but there was no such problem near Buttonwood. Air con was strong and quiet. Bathroom big with good water pressure. Bed large with comfortable pillows. There was a microwave, small fridge, set of crockery including wine glasses and a filter coffee machine. Very clean and not many bugs. You check in at Coconut Row and they'd bring you and bags to Buttonwood. Just a couple of minutes drive. No lift but the staff would help to bring the bags up. We used to walk to their sister property Coconut row and enjoy our meal there. The swimming pool is also there. The area felt very safe and we walked along the beach, all the way to the resorts and also to the Garimaya shop. Lots of iguanas and beautiful pelicans, sandpipers and frigate birds around. We also had fresh coconut water as well. Our trip to Glover's got cancelled because of bad weather and the management quickly found an alternative private snorkelling experience for us. Highly recommended.

My wife and I were going to stay with the Buttonwood for only 2 nights, but I unfortunately came down with some food-related illness. The staff went well beyond what I expected to make move things around and find another room for us to stay in for an additional couple of days so I could recuperate. They even tried to help me find where I could get some medicine when since the pharmacy is closed on Sundays. A big thank you to everyone there!
