Radisson Fort George Hotel and Marina

This is a really nice hotel, staff are very professional and rooms pretty well equipped and clean. Nice shower and comfy bed. Needs a refrigerator in the room and please arrange for safes to be screwed to the wall! Very near to Water taxi and cruise ship terminal and quite a lot of artisan shops nearby. There are some issues in that the demolition of the old hotel across the road is very very noisy if you are in the pool. If you want a peaceful and relaxing time by the pool then this hotel is not for you. There is only 1 sunbed and umbrella that was broken (they fixed it when I asked them to). The pool is split into 2 and the small pool is very murky, needs a good clean. Shout out to Cecilia in reception who was very nice and welcoming, Rashim and Dendra in the restaurant. Loved the smoothies. I didnt go to Spa as it was very expensive. I will be back and hope that so e if my comments have been noted and addressed.

I had a fantastic experience at the Fort George hotel. Annika Foreman, my tour organizer, went above and beyond devoting herself to me and making the trip an exquisite experience. She ensured the boat had a covering; that I was comfortable, felt safe and all of my needs were met. Because of her, I had the most amazing adventure swimming with nurse sharks! The spa at the Fort George hotel is a delightful addition. My massage therapist Tennille was absolutely brilliant at soothing achy muscles from loads of snorkeling. It was a beautiful, relaxing experience in a lovely facility.

We stayed here for 2 nights in April 2024 and thankfully we had a wonderful experience. I was pretty nervous based on some of the mixed reviews. When you book, just MAKE SURE that you are booking a room in the NEW, renovated part of the hotel - it is very very nice! The hotel staff is very nice and Annika was especially helpful in advance of our arrival. We ate at the restaurant 1 night, which was very good. I think this is a good hotel to stay at if you are passing through to other parts of Belize - I would not stay here more than a night or 2 as there is NOT much to do in the city itself. We did walk down the street (1/2 block) to the Cork Street Whiskey Bar, which is a really great place to grab a drink and share a few small plates - historic old home that has been turned into a bar with great interior.

Beautiful hotel - a wonderful experience that was recently renovated and is awesome. The restaurant was terrific with a wide range of food choices

So we reached Belize City about 12 pm it was so hot my dad picked us up from the airport because he was already in Belize. My husband and I wanted to change because it was about 100 degrees out and we had on our winter stuff on. We reached the hotel about and requested would it be possible for us to have a early check in cause we just wanted to shower and settle in because we’ve been traveling since 3am NYC time, we were told NO and the room wasn’t ready but we could change our clothes in the hotel bathroom and leave our luggage behind the desk and whenever the room was ready they would send us a text and the luggage would be taken to our room and would be waiting for us. We agreed got changed our clothes in the hotel bathroom and left with my dad. We came back around 7pm that night no text and the luggage was never taken to our room. We was finally able to check in and take our own luggage to our room. We showered and came back down stairs to have dinner at the restaurant that’s in the hotel ….no authentic Belizean food and they food wasn’t good at all . Just of course over priced . My husband ordered Rasta pasta and got linguine with Alfredo sauce. We then decided to go to the pool because we were told the pool closes at 10pm ….we go to the pool my husband kept saying this pool filter is not working so we stayed in the pool for about 5 minutes. The room was lovely but of course no refrigerator or microwave. A lot of space so that’s why we were surprised it didn’t have at least one. The next day we came down and had breakfast. Typical American breakfast you really can’t go wrong with pancakes and French toast. We didn’t stay at the hotel this day we went to San Pedro . When we came back to following day we notice they had finally put up signs that the pool was out of service . So basically we were swimming in dirty water . I asked the front desk did they have a microwave . Of course they didn’t. I think this hotel would be fantastic if they did the entire menu over . It was very clean and it smelled good so it wasn’t any complaints about that. The food was just lousy and over priced and the check in was not very helpful at all.

This is a beautiful place to lodge. Despite the renovation occurring across from the main building the hotel still was immaculate and an over all great vibe. The staff from the moment you arrive were pleasant friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend if staying in Belize City

Complaint is about the online booking system. Credit card was charged for room as I booked the day I checked in, however, hotel did not receive payment. Seems it is being processed by Ultimate Vacations out of Miami and they are sketchy to say the least. Ultimate Vacations then charged my card another amount and is in the process of cancelling that second charge. The hotel then charged my card for the room that I had paid for six days after I stayed there. And we are going back and forth on emails despite me sending copies of all of the documents in the first email. What a mess and disappoin**ent.

We had a wonderful stay here but experience will vary based on your expectations. We chose this hotel as our base for going on multiple excursions to multiple areas of central Belize. This worked well for us as the hotel has a wonderful concierge service and a dedicated and helpful transportation team. We were easily able to get to the ruins at Xunatunich, the cave kayaking adventure and out to Caye Caulker for snorkeling. This saved us from renting a car which is a blessing as driving in Belize is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for an adventure like ours, the Hotel is perfect. If you are looking for a tropical resort with a beach in a swanky tourist area with lots of boutique shops and restaurants, this is not it. But then such a place does not exist in Belize City. The Radisson Fort George is located right next to the cruise ship terminal and the ferry terminals for Caye Cauker and San Pedro which is an advantage but the neighborhood, in general has seen better days. We found it safe though shabby but some may find it uncomfortable. The Radisson Fort George is in the middle of a major renovation and upgrade and I expect that it will eventually be fabulous. It is not there yet but we found our room in the 'new wing' to be spacious, airy, clean and well appointed. It had a balcony overlooking the sea which we did not use much because we were on the move most of the time. This area of the hotel has a nice open patio space and a dipping pool. The original side has a larger pool with a café. Positive things about the hotel: 1. The staff is very friendly and helpful without being intrusive or obsequious. 2. The dedicated transportation crew is very helpful and friendly. 3. The concierge was quite good at her job. 4. It is locate near the ferry and cruise ship terminals Negative things about the hotel: 1. The neighborhood is shabby though under renovation. 2. You will need to take a cab to get to the better restaurants 3. Housekeeping was spotty. 4. Rooms vary based on whether you are on the 'new' or the 'old' side. How to maximize the experience at this hotel: 1. Be clear about your expectations, if you are looking for a 'resort' look elsewhere 2. Request a room on the 'new' side. 3. Expect to use transportation services for restaurants. Martha's next door is okay but the rest will need a taxi. If this review helped you make a decision, give me a 'helpful' vote.

A beautiful hotel with ocean on two sides. It is being re-built and it is very nice! The Treehouse restaurant is also very good. Walking distance to downtown shops. We scheduled a day of fishing and they met us at the pier in front of the hotel making it very easy!
