Reviewed By MAFlyer

We had high hopes, because the restaurant has a beautiful refined ambience. But the food wasn't great, and the cocktails were disappointing. Also, the waiters were overwhelmed, causing slow service. I will say that we were there Christmas day, so our experience may not have been the norm. Dear MAFlyer,Our sincere apologies that your experience was not what it should have been. Indeed as it was the holidays, our team, as prepared as we believed ourselves to be, found ourselves being overwhelmed with the rush of diners without reservations.We do invite you to give us another try to truly experience our 1981 restaurant and her Belizean inspired flavors should you be in our area again!With Kindest regards,PamelaGuest Services Manager1981/Naia Resort

Many thanks to the staff at Tipsy for a stellar good time! Brought friends to the bar and left with even more! Frozen drinks (specialty) are just wonderful on a hot humid day. New events nightly include karaoke, drumming, etc. Lounge at the bar, lower deck, upper deck, or right on the beach! Food is very good as well with specials daily. Many thanks to Sal, Gillian, Lydia, Nancy, Chino, Fabio, Annie, and the rest of the Tipsy Tuna staff!

Omar's

Reviewed By Meredith-SanDiego

Popped into Omar’s while exploring the town. It had come so highly recommended that we thought we’d give it a try. The place is BYOB (meaning they don’t serve alcohol) and there’s no cork fees. Be sure to ask what’s available before combing the menu as some dishes were out of season. Overall tasty food, but poor service as the employees were more concerned w their own down time than tending to us.

Reviewed By Danuza

We went to this hotel for dinner one night and we enjoyed the food, presentation and service. The ambient was nice and relaxed. Pool in front and a nice backyard of trees and flowers on the side. Tables and chairs were comfortable and they had 3 levels above ground, which made it romantic and interesting. Not ideal for younger active kids, but staff of the restaurant was very accommodating and understanding. The way we were treated made a big difference! It was a big plus. The place is expensive but the food tasted wonderful and was well presented. The lobster tail I had came in a nice glass cup. The picture is in my instagram danuza.aquino if you want to see it. It made me very happy! I also like the manager of grounds. He took time to greed us and explain the plants plus show us around. It was a nice experience altogether. I heard people say great things about the hotel in general but we were there just for dinner.

Reviewed By jreedaussie

We ate at Maya Bistro last night and it was a really lovely experience. Definitely more expensive than our lunch at a local food tent but so worth it. The combination of flavors was spot on and we got to sit right next to the beach with a strong breeze to keep us cool.We shared two appetizers and that was plenty of food. Then we finished our meal with a divine peanut butter brittle ice cream cake (the brittle was perfect, not too crunchy).There were a couple of cute strays that were begging at tables. My kid was entranced ☺️My only peeve was that the vodka I drank left me with a debilitating hangover the next morning (one drink only). It was supposed to be Tito’s but may have been one of the cheaper local brands Our check came to $72BZD for two ($36USD)
