Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed on the island for 6 days/5 nights. This island is a quaint family owned island that is off the grid, completely; not just TV, but water and electricity. I think it's really great to know this ahead of time, so that you know you are in for, what could be, an adventure. The showers do not have consistent hot water and the electricity may flash in and out, but it is a resort that is off the grid, so it is totally to be expected and in no way a draw back if you come in knowing that. This island is a great example of eco-tourism. Awesome excursions all over the country and kayaking and snorkeling at your back door! I think it is doing the island an injustice to call it luxury by any means. It is not a luxury resort, it is a family owned resort that is relatively new with

My husband and I had an amazing week at Yok Ha. I had my eye on Yok Ha after stumbling upon it on an internet search a few years ago. I was so excited when I saw the deal on Groupon and booked the trip. My husband and I have traveled quite a bit and are used to adapting to different locations to get the most out of our travels. I will say leading up to the trip there were a couple of reviews that made me nervous and we even considered making other arrangements but decided to continue as planned. Everything was great about our stay- the accommodations were comfortable and clean, the food was phenomenal (and we are used to eating very well), the staff was so hospitable, the island so so so relaxing, and the scuba diving and other excursions were so much fun. I think the key to

My wife and I recently spent 6 days at the Yok Ha Resort and we absolutely loved it! The location is simply stunning; the cabanas are right on the beach and the water was always crystal clear and the perfect temperature! Yok Ha includes access to kayaks and snorkeling/diving equipment and trust me when I say you'll want to take full advantage of all of it to explore the waters around the resort. The resort also offers many excursions which are definitely worth doing! We went snorkeling on Belize's Barrier Reef (the 2nd Largest in the World) which was a short boat ride from the resort. We also explored Mayan Ruins and went tubing through a cave! Yok Ha took care of all of the logistics for these trips and paired us with wonderful, local guides. By far the greatest aspect

Yok Ha is interesting and does not deserve my typical review style. I am so happy that I had this experience and I would not trade it. I have to say it was in my top 5 travel experiences ever. There are tips that made this happen though and I am happy to share those also. I would recommend this resort only if you are the adventure and go with the flow type of traveler though. This is not the place for the VIP traveler that believes they will be served hand and foot. So, don't be that person.. The resort was having some power issues while we were there because we went during September and during hurricane season. It was still beautiful, and the storms would roll over quickly and everything would calm. We still had plenty of sunshine though. However, I recommend you bring a

An easy jet, puddle jumper and boat ride to this tropical island with incredible staff (Marcos and his staff treated us like VIPs) and wonderful guests. Charming and comfortable cabanas, great food, fun excursions. The ATM cave tour was one of the best adventures of our life. Well definitely come back soon.

After traveling around Belize for 10 days my husband and I stayed at Yok Ha for 5 nights for some R&R. And it was perfection!! If you want true peace and relaxation, you can do no better than Yok Ha Resort. The island is tiny, with only 5 cabanas, so there is never more than 10 or so people on the resort. The whole time we were there the most guests, including us, was 8. The service is great, Jaime, Marcus, Fernando, and Danny did everything they could to accommodate anything we needed or wanted. Ezra is a genius in the kitchen and makes everything from scratch. Absolutely delicious meals! We took out the kayaks a couple times just to cruise around and appreciate the splendor, and spent the rest of the time relaxing. The snorkel to Long Caye was great, and my husband went

A couple of months ago my wife and I were looking for a relaxing, secluded vacation for just the two of us. A friend sent us a link to Yok Ha and after reading reviews and looking at some pictures, we booked the trip. We arrived in Belize City and within an hour we had taken a prop plane and landed in Dangriga. It would be a couple of hours before the boat would arrive to take us to the island so we were dropped off at the Pelican Beach Resort. We were offered drinks but we decided to just lay on some lounge chairs right on the water. The breeze was wonderful and it was very relaxing after a day of travel. Eventually a van arrived and took us to the main office where we met Wilfred (the friendly and gracious owner) and headed out after boarding a small boat. You need to know

If you're looking for a relaxing, secluded getaway with gorgeous views, helpful and friendly staff, delicious food, and a variety of things to do, Yok Ha is it! This was such an incredible vacation for us; we spent some days on the island, kayaking, snorkeling, and reading on the porch of our cabana overlooking the water, and other days exploring Mayan ruins, going ziplining and cave tubing! Absolutely wonderful experience!!!

Sounds much better on paper than what we experienced. Was there for a week as a group. Very disappointing to us veteran tropical locale travelers. Food quantity, quality and preparation was very poor. The resort is serviced by one small boat for all activities and transport. Day trippers from the mainland shared the tiny resort. Scuba Diving prices were extremely high. Excursions were pricey. Amenities are very limited. Island is surrounded by mangroves and turtle grass flats so don’t expect to snorkel a reef nearby. Inadequate kayaks. No paddle boards. Honeymoon cottage has the only outdoor shower. Staff did their best and did try to accommodate. I suggest looking elsewhere.

Love, love, love this place! You're on a remote little island where there are only 5 cabanas and a restaurant/bar. If you want low key and relaxing this is the place. We are avid divers who typically dive everyday of our vacation. We decided to change it up this trip and did some relaxing as well. We flew into Belize City and Marcus was there waiting for us as we exited the terminal. He was very flexible and we stopped for snacks and drinks for the ride, then went to a great place for lunch, then stopped for ice cream before we got on the boat for the 25 minute ride to the resort. We did dive 2 days while at the resort. We all have 300 plus dives so we can be a little particular. Abi and Fernando were fabulous. They took very good care of us and were very safety conscious. The
