Alaia Belize, Autograph Collection

We had a group of friends stay here for 3 nights, in 3 different rooms in 3 different buildings. We stayed in the Vista1 tower, on an upper floor. The resort is very nice, and the staff is awesome. Especially Sanchez and Kaylinn at the swim up bar. The pool is great - perfect temp with lots of chairs around. We were there off season, so not sure how crowded it would be in busy season. The hotel is not really walking distance to the center of town. Located near the south end of the runway, it has great views of the water and reef. There's not a lot of sights/attractions walkable from here. Taxis to town were about $12 US/pp one way. Our room was a studio, so just a bed and a bathroom, but very comfortable. Shower was roomy with a nice showered, but very finicky to get the water temp right - it's either scalding, or just a little too cool. Bath towels are some of the biggest and nicest I've ever encountered. The toilet needs to be tightened to the floor as it clanks every time you get off of it. We heard others had the same issue. The bedside table were a bit worn, but had lot's of electrical and USB outlets. The fan and lights are a bit confusing, and the bedside clock time was wrong, but could never figure out how to set it. Large tv and small fridge both worked great. The beach bar deck was under construction so it was closed. The Sea Salt restaurant was nice for lunch - never tried it for dinner. We ate breakfast at the pool bar several times and the food was good - fresh, hot, and large portions. Ate dinner twice at the roof top bar area. Again, food was great, and the drinks are strong. My biggest concern, was the fire sprinkler heads. They have been painted over and are rusted. Only an issue if you need them in a fire, but it shows the attention paid to fire safety. The door frame to the fire stairs was quite rusted, and the door handle was completely missing, but the door did open if pushed. As a retired Fire Marshal, these things catch my eye. All the staff we dealt with were friendly and prompt. Service was always good, even if the crowd at the pool bar slowed down the drink delivery a bit. Overall, not a bad place to spend a few days, but could use some maintenance to uphold it's reputation and safety.

We loved our experience here! The location was prime, the service excellent and the property well-appointed. We especially had wonderful service from our housekeeper, Zeniah Cain.

The rooms,food,hospitality and environment were fabulous. Eric was helpful in everyway, baggage,directions, conversations and very generous with his smilies. All resorts need employees like Eric, willing to do whatever is needed to make the guest happy and satisfied.

My family experience at the resort was one of the best since we’ve been traveling and have several Caribbean experiences. The food was great, hotel was great and the staff were great

For us it was our second stay at the Alaia but the first for the others in our group. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and housekeeping, pool bar and pool service was great. Shout out to Eric for his recommendations of places to eat in town- we enjoyed all local restaurants and only ate at seaside once for dinner and it was meh… huge shout out Elvis for bringing us an aloe plant from his home to soothe our sunkissed bodies- above and beyond for sure. We’ll be back!
