Excellent dive resort with extremely competent dive crews/first rate dive services, superb food and beautiful accommodations! And from the pics I thought there was only one lounge spot out on a pier but there are many including the hanging bed, my favorite!  Absolutely beautiful rec room, pool, outside bar and dining room.

Gym: For those gym rats, excellent gym/fitness center with plates and adjustable dumbbells, bar, pull-up bar, elliptical, bands, bike etc (see pics).  630 yoga instructor Victoria is fabulous!

Accommodations: I was in the most “basic” room in the two two story buildings and these rooms are fantastic- I strongly recommend the cheapest rooms 1-4 where you can access the outdoor showers easily after dives (although they do have less light/openings than others because you’re on ground floor with folks above.  For upper rooms, you have to go thru the room which I wouldn’t like.  I only used the outdoor shower (room 2 has the tree in it!) and used it a lot after diving, snorkeling, pool etc so the easy access without getting sand etc in your room is great.  Get the cheapest room!!!

Snorkeling/swimming from resort:  snorkeling is fantastic from the boardwalks on the outer perimeter as the fish (hundreds of schools) live in the big rocks.  I also saw sting rays almost every time I went.  Do NOT exit from the inner coves which are too shallow  and you’ll get stung from critters on the sea grass.  I am leaving a snorkeling entry/exit and guide with the office.  Easy to swim along the outer boardwalks as well.

Love this dive resort!  Just beautiful- get the cheap rooms!!

This was hands down the best vacation my husband and I have ever been on.  The location is remote and private.  The rooms are beautiful and luxurious. The food is healthy and delicious. The staff is incredible from housekeeping to wait staff to the bar and fishing guides..  Hendry the bartender is so much fun and make the best drinks. Buddy our fishing guide is super knowledgeable and truly made this the trip of a lifetime for us. The motto on the island is "Arrive as strangers and leave as friends".  This could not be more true.  We can not wait to return as soon as we can. 

Best vacation ever!

This was a fantastic week diving in Belize!  From the moment we boarded the boat to travel to the island, to the moment we left, we truly felt welcomed and catered to.    All the staff go above and beyond to make your visit as special as it can be.       Hendry is the concoction specialist, there to keep you in your happy zone!   Hilario was an amazing divemaster, we saw so many different forms of marine life ( and lots of sharks!! :))  and had great experiences with him.  He is very safety conscious and keeps a close eye on his divers.   The food was very good, the rooms spotless and very comfortable, and the grounds were impeccably clean.   Tipping at the end is a bit confusing and difficult, I would prefer a  completely all inclusive price with tipping being the exception not the rule. Overall, this was one of our best trips ever, and we definitely hope to return.

A wonderful week of diving at a beautiful and fun resort

Five start resort, fantastic diving, good food and drinks.  Staff are exceptional and make you feel at home.  This is definitely a true getaway, you are 1.5 hours out in the ocean from Belize.   From the moment you set foot on the boat to go to the island, you are made to feel special.   Hendry, Hilario and Shawn were wonderful to us.

Fantastic resort with even better people.

Turneffe Island Resort Motto:  Come as strangers, leave as friends, 100%!  Where do I start, absolutely immaculate from the beach to the pool to our Villa (9, highly recommend).  The views were spectacular from every spot on the island!  Ceceila was an amazing, she made sure everything was perfect.  We started each morning with coffee delivered to our room, a daily newsletter, lunch feature, weather, etc.  The nightly turn down service with poem was a very special touch.  The food was amazing at every meal, fresh, delicious and very healthy!  The Friday night BBQ was my favorite night, so fun on the beach.  But the best part were the people!  Both guests and staff, everyone so friendly and engaged!  Charles, Hendrey and Fidel our bartenders were amazing mixologist!  Jesse and the entire kitchen staff made every meal so memorable.  Iris, Shawn, Eddie and Aly made sure every guest was happy and made you feel like family.  Eddie Jr, our fishing guide was absolutely awesome!  We have already booked for 2024 and we have been home 1 day!   A very special place and very special people!  

Come as strangers, leave as friends!

Turneffe Island Resort was an amazing place to go on a dive vacation. I took my daughter there for a weeklong stay, as a high school graduation gift, and we could not have had a better time. Everything from the moment they picked us up at the airport was perfect. Brad the dive guide and Harry our boat captain were amazing. I had not dived in 28 years, and it was no problem getting back in the swing of things, due in large part to Brad's guidance. Food, drinks, room, pool, pool bar, all were great. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Amazing dive trip with my daughter!

This was my 6th visit to TIR which says something because I don’t typically repeat places. When my brother and I decided to get the whole family together for our first family reunion, I immediately knew I wanted it to be at TIR. There were 11 of us with ages between 8 months and 59. Everyone had an amazing time. The staff is incredible, the food amazing and enough variety in activities to satisfy everyone. Thanks TIR for making Kamp Krampf 2024 a huge success.

First family reunion…huge success

Wow! What an amazing experience beyond any expectations we had. Each day we had an adventure fishing, diving, and snorkeling. The rooms were gorgeous equipped with outdoor showers and beach front porches. Each morning we started our day with coffee delivered to our door and each evening a beautiful poem was left for us on our bed. We’ve been to many beach resorts but this one is truly special, it was worth the travel and expense. 

A Fantasy Island Experience

Best resort ever for all types of people. Plenty of relaxation if needed, but for those more active the scuba diving and fly fishing were spectacular. Accommodations and food were exceptional. Staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable 

Best all around resort

We had an excellent time at Turneffe Island Resort!  Our snorkeling guide, Beans, was incredible, and all the staff are top notch and excellent at getting to know your needs and preferences and making sure that every aspect of your stay is perfect.  Beyond that, they are friendly, and the small nature of the resort creates an atmosphere where you can get to know the other guests, which was very fun. They do so much to create a perfect private island experience. They made us feel like royalty! Can't recommend this place enough!
