Culinary Delights

Every meal was a treat thanks to Chef Alex, who prepared delicious dishes using fresh local seafood and veggies. From fresh fish most nights to mouthwatering lobster, I savored every bite. The meals were accompanied by fresh fruit juices and you could feel the love that went into each dish.

Lovely Diving

The dive experience was out of this world! I completed my advanced open water certification and had very nice wall dives where I saw black-tipped reef sharks and vibrant coral formations. Dive master Mora was knowledgeable and ensured every moment underwater was safe and enjoyable. I left with memories that will last a lifetime.

Comfortable Cabanas

The cabana I stayed in was clean, comfortable, and just a few feet from the water. Although not air-conditioned yet, the ocean breeze kept the space pleasantly cool. I loved lounging in hammocks right outside my door and waking up to the sound of waves every morning.

Great Facilities

The bathroom in my cabana was simple but functional, with an electric shower that had consistent hot water. It was a pleasant surprise, especially for an island resort, ensuring I had refreshing showers after a long day of diving.

Isla Marisol is a true escape from the everyday hustle, offering a blend of rustic charm and stunning natural beauty. The activities available are impressive, and the food is deliciously prepared. However, some aspects like the worn rooms and lack of a good swimming beach could be improved. Overall, it's a unique experience that feels authentic, but it might not be for everyone.

Our stay at Isla Marisol was simply unforgettable. The location on Southwest Caye in Glover's Reef is breathtaking, and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. The staff provided exceptional service, making us feel welcome and at home. While the dining experience was delightful, the limited connectivity might be a concern for some.

Isla Marisol is truly a magical getaway. The location is stunning, surrounded by breathtaking views of turquoise waters and vibrant reefs. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience, and the diving and snorkeling opportunities are out of this world. However, keep in mind that the resort is rustic and remote, with basic amenities and no luxury features like a spa or room service. Internet can be spotty, so be prepared for a digital detox!
