"Me and my boyfriend had a GREAT stay here. From the breakfast and coffee in the mornings to the stunning views . Rona is very amazing, accommodating and patient . We have found our home away from home and will definitely be staying here every time we come and visit."
"Very hard to report this, but the property was uninhabitable when we were there.. High-level - there was area-wide sargassum inundation. This is not unusual. Low-level - the management's choice of how to deal with the situation in their particular bay (or not deal with it), was/is pitiful.
Facts:
• We had a 4 night stay booked - had to leave early.
• The resort was vacant. There were maybe 5-10 other people total, which I assume was due to the situation (smell).
• We stayed the night we arrived because we had activities booked the next day. We did those activities all day, came back to resort to stay one more night, and left next day.
• The staff was amazing!! They went out of their way to attempt to help us find peace in that insane situation. I'm certain they would like their management to attack the problem more proactively, and also they have no control over it.
• We transited the coastline 4 times, and witnessed other resorts and beaches that were clear, or had MORE active clearing work underway. Reef Haven's clearing activity was non-existent. One guy in the water with a rake and a mask ....not good enough.
• I'm certain that with approval, I could fix their issue in 3 days. I'd bring 3 boats of guys from San Pedro 3 days in a row, put them up in the resort overnight, and we'd clear the beach.
• The rotting sargassum is toxic once it starts producing hurdrogen sulfide. We had to shelter in our room / apartment, with towels at the door threshold.

"The property was very clean. The staff was absolutely incredible! They were extremely accommodating and did a phenomenal job of making me and my husband feel welcome. The supervisor Mitch even went above and beyond to ensure my birthday dinner was memorable by placing a candlelight dinner in the center of the resort. We loved everything about this trip and will definitely be back to visit."
"Snorkeling right there great! Fishing excellent too. Kayaks, fish poles, snorkeling gear all free to use.
Staff hospitality unbeatable!
The service wonderful.
They even arranged puddle jumper plane and boat transfer so fun and snorkeling trip!"
"5/5 Great stay, amazing service
We had a really great experience at North Beach Retreat. The place was comfortable, well located, and perfect for a relaxing stay.
What truly made the difference was Norman. He was outstanding, very helpful, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was taken care of. It is rare to come across someone that attentive.
He made our stay smooth and stress free, and because of him we would definitely come back.
Highly recommend."
