Itz'Ana Resort & Residences

Loved this resort! Probably the nicest in Placencia and they have a very cool sister resort Ka’ana in the jungle. Highly recommend staying here! Property is beautiful and the welcome drinks are delicious!

We stayed at Itz’Ana after a stay in the mountains and had an excellent experience. The Villa we stayed in was amazing, right on the beach, two personal pools and a full kitchen too. Pool area was excellent as were the restaurants. Amazing staff, very friendly and accommodating. I would be honored to stay here again on my next Belize visit.

Overall we had a very pleasant stay at Itz'ana. This is one of the nicest hotels in Placencia, which is a great laid back destination for families. We rented a 3 bedroom villa on the beach, which was beautiful and right outside our villa. The inside of the villa was very comfortable. We asked for housekeeping each day, which the staff provided. One of the 3 pools in between the villa rooms was a bit green, the staff said it had been sitting unused for an extended period, as we came during the slower rainy season. They cleaned it and did some maintenance on the equipment, restoring it to swimmable condition. We had some ants in the main kitchen area and pointed it out to management, saying they would tell the staff about it, but this never got attended to. I think this is one of the realities of being in Belize. The pool area and restaurant were very comfortable and enjoyable. The staff definitely operate on "island time," nothing is rushed. The only negatives, being the slower rainy season, staffing was low, some things were closed or had limited hours. Despite that, all of the staff were accommodating. It was difficult sometimes to get someone at the hotel on the phone, Whatsapp or email are the preferred method of communication. They went out of their way to reschedule our domestic flight from Belize City after our incoming international flight was delayed and we missed our connection. All things being said, we would have no hesitation to return to Itz'ana!
