Mahogany Bay Resort & Beach Club, Curio Collection by Hilton Reviews

A very unique island resort hotel with complete facilities and considerate service. It is dozens of kilometers away from the Blue Grotto on the Sea, and it is extremely convenient to go to the airport.

Great!

Leaking mini-fridge. Room directly under flight path of low flying planes, loud, constant noise. Plus golf carts, guest conversations & grackles on tin roof sounded as if all were IN our room. Property spread out, prepare to walk a lot. Vendors huts disappointing; ice creams offered were vanilla, strawberry & chocolate, really? And mandatory resort fee for one night stay is ridiculous. Much construction beyond the pool & on end of “Main Street”. This was a sad caricature of a resort. The value just was not there.

The biggest complaint I would have on our stay is the noise that comes into the rooms at night with not having glass windows on the bottom only the mesh and shutters. We had very noisy young girls beside us in the cottages and noise of the air conditioner from the cottage beside us kept us up most of the night to where we had to go buy ear plugs. The staff was friendly but young and service was slow. For the price of the property to stay at and for the cost of drinks and food was expensive. Videlly was great to deal with at the front desk.

First, I want to clarify Mahogany Bay and Mahogany Bay Curio are different. Mahogany Bay homes are individually owned, The Curio Collection is by Hilton. We booked the Hilton property. We didn’t find out this detail till we were there. Our first trip to Belize. Check-in was pretty easy. Friendly helpful people. Now for the unit, the AC in our room, and one setting, off or freight train blowing right at the bed and you’ll raise your voice to talk. In the morning, we heard noises about 630. I opened up a window to find out. There is no window, plantation, shutters, and screen. You’ll definitely hear everything across the street and from your neighbors. The room literally has nothing but a fridge in it. No corkscrew no coffee maker, not a pad or pen. The TV will glitch, comes back in a bit. They provide two bottles of water per day. You’ll have to go to the clubhouse every day to refill them. That’s a challenge on its own, the bottles don’t fit underneath of the water disposal, so for the first few days will be a puddle of water in front of you until you figure it out. The private beach, takes about 15 minutes to get to by boat. It runs every 30 minutes. There is no beach at the resort, there is a pool. Which ran out of towels on two occasions. The private beach is nice, but pay attention to your bill, of the four days we went, three days it was incorrect. I guess I just expect more from the Hilton property. The Staff does a great job based on the process’ Hilton has in place.

Service at the front desk and restaurant not as friendly as I remember it (from my trip last year). Pricing for food/beverages is all in USA $$ and expensive for the area (even more expensive than the Marriott down the road). But their island Beach Club is what makes the stay worthwhile. We spent 9 of 11 days going to the Beach Club and loved it.

This property was amazing . The staff were extremely nice , friendly and helpful. The food was 10/10! I would recommend this hotel for families, couples and solo travelers

The property is very nice….however we must have went during the construction process. The area the property is located in doesn’t match the quality of the property

Good and quiet resort, some good food options but they are somewhat expensive. Staff was very nice and helpful.

The location of the property is a little remote compared to the center of town. This is good in some ways and bad in others. Over all it is a nice property and the private beach is nice because the sand goes to the water , but the water is not very deep. Most beaces on the island have concrete retailing walls because there is no sand. This is because of the barrier reef blocking the waves from bringing in the sand.

The property is still getting built and hasn’t worked out the kinks. However everyone is trying their best.

The staff was nice and Friendly. The cabana in the water on the picture has a fee so don’t be surprised. They are still doing construction… after the construction I’m sure it’ll be beautiful around the area. We loved our little cottage.

The hotel is pretty no doubt BUT the problem is that they catfish people with the reviews and descriptions. We were specifically looking for a hotel within a minute distance, meaning a hotel over the water. We paid this much specifically for that reason, there are a million hotels away cheaper. They have a beach but they need to take you by boat (which they also charge you for $114 US). The beach is around 15 minutes away. They also advertise themselves as a "Adults Only" hotel and they are not. I am not sure from whom these people are taking their marketing advice but deceiving people is not. It seems to me that they are buying their reviews. There were lots of miscommunications like you need to put yourself on a list to be able to get it clean (huh?), you need to reserve the boat to be able to go to the beach, etc. Not worth the money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Mahogany Bay Resort with its attentive staff in each of their roles & responsibilities. Beautifully appointed property with well maintained cottages and grounds made for a wonderful experience! We also enjoyed the private beach with bar / restaurant.
