42 Aug21805 Best All-Inclusive Luxury Beach Hotel - Belize Sirenian Bay Resort & Villas is a truly all-inclusive resort experience in the South of Belize that takes care of its customer’s every need, no matter how big or how small. Its committed, experienced, and empathic staff go far beyond food and drink service with a holiday, including with its work a true experience of luxury like no other that is unparalleled in its region. An award winning, all-inclusive, luxury resort in Southern Belize, Sirenian Bay Resort & Villas is found in the heart of the Placencia Peninsula. Amongst picturesque lands and towering palm fronds, the resort itself is right on the beachfront, making it an idyllic paradise in which any holidaymaker is guaranteed to find something they love, promising memories that will stay with guests for a lifetime. Furthermore, its boutique property has a max occupancy of 82 guests, allowing it to serve a number of families at the same time without making it feel crowded, maintaining an exclusive, quiet, and private feeling that grants clients access to a haven away from the stress of the everyday. Due to this, it has made itself a perfect wedding, honeymoon, family vacation, romantic getaway, and small group travel hotspot. Able to serve such a myriad of clientele and ensure each of them will find what they need to have an amazing time, this independently owned property offers a highly customisable vacation experience wherein the staff will always go above and beyond for guest comfort. Fundamentally, no matter the request, Sirenian Bay will always strive to be able to say yes to its guests. In this manner, it has made itself a front-runner in adaptive holiday offerings that are flexible, able to work with the guest’s requirements and surpass expectations every time – it has, in the past, arranged a coordinated surprise engagement on the pier, with a dinner on the beach that followed, as one example. Additionally, it has managed family photoshoots with local photography talent, private days on nearby islands with lunch and an open bar, complimentary cake for a birthday celebration, rose petals on beds for honeymooning couples, and even small things like always ensuring the champagne is on ice. Sirenian Bay, above all, prizes itself on quality. In this manner, communication forms the core of its operation – both amongst its team and with its guests – ensuring that each customer receives the same exemplary service and consistently well-oiled experience right from the first get interaction. It is due to this dedication that it has been able to create return customers in its first-time visitors even before they leave the bay. Sirenian Bay’s personalised service includes staff getting to know each customer by name and operating with private butlers in each villa, as well as a resort concierge staff that is both discrete and efficient, ensuring the coffee arrives in the morning at the right time, and needs are met at every turn. The property also helps give Sirenian Bay its ‘wow factor’; its gorgeous view, hand-drawn welcome sign that will have the guests name on it when they arrive, as they are greeted by welcoming staff and a ready pool bar. Moreover, in order to create this environment, it has hired for ‘culture first’. Sirenian Bay hires people based on their attitude as well as their experience, enriching each of their professional lives with leadership training and ensuring that they have the skills they need to thrive in a tough industry. It is due to this incredible, comprehensively trained, and professional staff that Sirenian Bay has been able to pull through the difficulties of the pandemic, responding with additional safety measures and refining each of its services so that it could come back bigger and better than ever. As a growing resort, and being one of the newest properties in Belize, its amenity rich package has already earned it notoriety, a reputation that will only grow with the opening of the first pickleball courts on the peninsula, as well as being able to boast a large fitness centre, beach grille dining area, and soon to come martini bar and wine room.
