This review provides an in-depth analysis of our stay at The Ellysian. While the property lists multiple amenities, be aware that airport transfer is not free. The hotel offers room service and a pool bar for its guests. However, on one day during our stay, we were informed that the restaurant, room service, and pool bar would be closed. Despite the lack of these services, we were still charged the full rate for that day, which I believe should have been discounted. The following day, the pool bar remained closed as well. We dined at the rooftop restaurant, Muna, on two occasions. The first night, I ordered the stew chicken, which I would rate 3/10, the seasoning was lacking. However, I decided to give them another try and ordered the grilled pork chop the next night, which was excellent—9/10. My wife had pasta both nights, and both dishes were solid, earning an 8/10. The first night, the temperature in the restaurant was comfortable with the AC keeping us cool. However, the second night, the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. They had the doors open, hoping for a breeze, but it never came. Despite this, Arlan provided good service. The hotel’s location is convenient, situated on the boardwalk. Can walk the entire boardwalk in 15 minutes. Shadine was very friendly. The bathrooms could use some renovations. The garbage can and toilet brush holder were rusted. The tiles have little chips missing out of some of them. glass door leading to the pool from our room huge crack.

Great location, best staff, bad policies
We stayed at the Ellysian for a little over a week in July. The property itself is a nice small boutique hotel and has beautiful grounds. There is also a restaurant on the roof. Our stay had a rough start as maid service let themselves in after the first night, and this wasn’t a big deal as they had just forgotten to leave us a Do Not Disturb sign. They left us a sign a few miniatures after. However, the next morning we we intruded upon again. I double checked and we did hang the Do Not Disturb sign. I went to talk to the front desk and they apologized and said they had notes we were in an excursion and had left the sign up accidentally. While they were correct about the excursion, it had been cancelled due to weather. I don’t know I had to tell the hotel every day what my schedule was. Why not just respect the door sign like other hotels? Otherwise, they should add second locks inside the room door like other hotels. That was no chance of intrusion. We also had to move rooms due to noise from roof restaurant. Final seating is 8pm but guests were up there until after midnight and we had to be up early for excursion. So no uninterrupted sleep for 4/8 nights. Also staff used our shared balcony to run food to other rooms , so no privacy there either. Overall amazing grounds, great front desk staff (special note to them for being so kind), mediocre food, and the best location in southern Belize. But some bad policies on cleaning and restaurant hours really ruined our sleep/trip

Decent beachfront hotel
The location is nice, the hotel is beachfront. Pool is on the smaller side. Staff was accommodating. I wasn't really satisfied with the cleanliness/upkeep of bathroom (there were cracked tiles, stained caulk, and dirty baseboards) but if they did some minor work, it would be nice.

The highlight of this hotel is the staff. The reception personnel were professional, friendly, and went out of their way to help. The evening dining was exceptional--and the person who is in charge of this dining facility is outstanding. He treats everyone like family--and is happy to provide his own suggestions on the menu options (and he is always right!). The food preparation is exceptional. A special shout-out for the bar in the pool area. Certainly, this staff person knows mixology, but more than that, she always has a smile and lets you know that she is there to help. A real asset to the Ellysian!

Jacqueline and Shinellie at reception were great at handling any issues also Venessa and Justin were very friendly awesome servers at the pool bar.

Incredible stay! Fantastic location with very welcoming staff. There were issues with the plumbing in the room reserved but they upgraded us to the Penthouse suite a no extra charge. This room was incredibly beautiful. A couple minor plumbing issues that were quickly rectified. They delivered a personalized note every evening and were extremely responsive. Shadine at the front desk was a very informative and kind human. Thank you for making our time in Placencia so fantastic. Strongly recommend this gem of a hotel.
