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 husband and I stayed at Buttonwood for 4 nights earlier this month and it was a wonderful stay. This is part of the Coconut Row hotel, but a separate building a couple hundred yards down the beach. We had the 3rd floor room, which has a wonderful balcony with great views and easy access to the roof-top deck, which has even better views, including sunset views to the west. There is also a very nice beach in front of the building. The sargassum is an issue this time of year, but we were still able to enjoy the beach even if we didn't get into the water from the beach. Coconut Row does have a nice pool, so we spent a lot of time there. Adjacent to the pool is a bar and restaurant - good drinks, good food, and the staff is great. Our room itself was great - very comfortable and well-appointed with everything that we needed. We had a kitchenette so we could keep our beverages cool and heat up leftovers as needed.
