Princess Hotel and Casino

I will never stay here again. The room door has cracks in it & doesn't seem all too secure. The breakfast buffet was okay. Service was horrible. We got to the hotel a little early for check-in, around 11:30am. They said the room was ready except for the towels, which would be delivered after 12noon. That was fine, so we left our stuff in the room & went out for the day. We came back around 6:30pm and noticed we still had no towels. After calling downstairs & actually going down to talk to the front desk after waiting for an hour, the housekeeper only brought 2 large towels, no hand towels or washcloths. Mind you, we had 3 people in the room. After calling & going downstairs a few more times, we finally just decided to go to dinner without showering. When we came back we finally got wash cloths & a couple more towels in the room. The next day, we went out again & returned around the same time. This time we had big towels & one hand towel, no wash cloths. We called downstairs again for 3 wash cloths, and to no surprise, it never came. When I go to a hotel & pay the extra person charge, I expect a full set of towels to be in the room. I shouldn't have to go begging for towels, especially at the end of a hot, sweaty day when all I want to do is shower.

I stayed at the Princess Hotel before departing for Turneffe Island Lodge, a private island located 30 miles off the coast. The Turneffe Island Staff picked me up and took me to the marina to head to the island. The Princess Hotel was ok as a transition spot and allowed me access to Belize city...however the real jewel was at the private resort I went to. Check them out at www.turneffelodge.com

First off, don't stay in Belize City...get out the cayes, St. Ignacio or Placencia right away. In BZ, people are helpfull and friendly...not the staff at this hotel. Internet never worked, food so so, overpriced

Do not stay at the Princess, stay at the Fort George Radisson.....avoid Belize City at all if possible, go to Caye Caulker. All inland trips can be made from this island for same price. hotel is overpriced clubs next door play LOUD music even on weekdays, don't expect to get a good night's sleep. food is expensive, go to restaurants elsewhere.

My husband and I traveled to Belize for a 10 day vacation. Throughout the entire country we found the culture, atmosphere, and people welcoming and all around charming. We felt Belize City, Princess would put us close to the airport, and give us 2 days of entertainment. We wish we would have stayed somewhere else. Most of the staff was rude or apathetic. We would not recommend the hotel simply because of the unwelcoming staff, and shoddy accommodations. We are happy it was an ending point; starting there would have set precedence on our expectations of the country.
