Top Bannister Island Hotel Reviews

Fort George Hotel & Spa

Fort George Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I really enjoyed my stay at Fort George and would definitely stay here again. The hotel was beautiful, very clean, and relaxing, and the staff were professional and welcoming throughout our stay. One of the things I loved most was that you could easily spend an entire day at the hotel without feeling like you needed to go anywhere. There’s a pool, spa, gym, restaurant, and plenty of comfortable areas where you can just sit, lounge, and relax. It really had that peaceful vacation atmosphere I was looking for. The location was another big plus. There are several restaurants and places within walking distance, and the water taxi is also nearby, which made getting around very convenient. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Fort George. It was comfortable, convenient, clean, and incredibly relaxing. I would absolutely stay here again on another trip to Belize City."

"This is basically a run-down motel right in the city close to the water taxis. It is on the water canal and you can sit outside on one of two balconies which was nice. The staff was nice and accommodating. The only real amenity was a mini fridge in the room. They did offer coffee in the morning."

"This property was in a nice location near shops and stores. Having the refrigerator and the microwave in the room was an excellent addition! The beds were comfortable. I enjoyed staying at this hotel. My only dislike was the fact that I booked under the understanding of this being a hotel, but there was no house cleaning for all three days spent there."
