Wow! The absolute best vacation. Ellis, along with Jovani made this trip memorable. The food is excellent and you are never short on things to do if you choose so. Magical.

Spectacular!
This was a wonderful place to stay! Clean rooms, awesome staff, great food and service! Made many new friends and loved snorkeling around the Island! Would love to come back again!
This is a very cool little cluster of cabanas and a bar/restaurant on a legit TINY island. The staff is great, the food is decent, and the snorkeling could be better, but overall it was a fun stay. We were the only ones staying on the island, which was pretty cool.
Off the beaten path, completely catered to and 5 star meals and service. The staff took care of our every need. The beautiful island took care of the rest. We will absolutely be going back again and again!
We spent four wonderful days here. The place is breathtaking. You wake up with the sea right outside your door. The staff is so amazing and friendly. We can’t wait to go back.
This island is AMAZING! Everything from the gorgeous water, snorkeling, kayaking, well appointed cabanas, friendly staff, to the phenomenal food! My husband and I really enjoyed our relaxing vacation. We love that it wasn’t a party atmosphere but a laid back and enjoyable one. We had the island to ourselves most of the time with day trippers only staying for part of the day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique getaway suitable for lovebirds or families!
This was the very best “bucket list” quality vacation that we have ever experienced! I would not want to change one thing related to the property, Staff, or amenities related to this place. It was more amazing than advertised.
We have been to Belize a couple of times before but decided to mix it up this time and do a couple of nights inland as well as a couple of nights at King Leweys and our only disappointment was we didn't stay longer.The island has so much to offer - games, amazing food, friendly staff, excellent atmosphere, lots of loungers and hammocks and THE VIEWS. The Views from every angle - you almost had to pinch yourself to see if it was real. We will most definitely be back. Our daughter, who is 8, really lived her best life there.All the people and tours that stop by the island keep it exciting and interesting. It's extremely well run and the team we had there with us worked so hard. We appreciated everything they did!

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to us that you and your family had such a great time at King Lewey’s. Hearing that your only disappointment was not staying longer is the best compliment we could ask for!
We love that your daughter had the time of her life—it’s so special to see kids enjoying the island to the fullest. And yes, those views never stop being magical!
Our team works hard to make every stay unforgettable, and it means the world to know you appreciated their efforts. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words!
We can’t wait to have you back for another adventure—hopefully for even longer next time! 😊🌴🏝️
Best,
The King Lewey’s Island Team
We stayed at King Leweys for 4 nights and it was so wonderful!! The whole experience was amazing! The island and it’s located are stunning with the sunrises and sunsets! I got to snorkel around the property which was a blast! The staff, namely Hugo and Albert (sorry we don’t recall everyone’s names), made our stay just incredible. We are an older couple, and one night we talked Albert into changing the music from the awesome island vibes to some of the oldies we use to listen to….still do! My husband and I danced and had drinks and it was the greatest time!! Thank you Hugo and Albert and everyone at King Leweys! We will be back….

Thank you for your kind words Diane! We had the best time with you guys as well. We surely hope you can come back soon, this time we will all dance with you guys!
Happy New Year!!

Staff were very attentive. Tipping and Belize tax were a bit unclear as VRBO had already collected. We visited late May as high season had just ended. On weekends, it was a bit of a party island but during the week it was quite peaceful
Our trip was nothing short of perfect! The island is absolutely beautiful! The food was fantastic, the beds were comfortable, the drinks were excellent and everyone we came in contact with was super friendly!
The staffs were very friendly and helpful. The night sky was breathtaking because the island is in the middle of dark ocean. Food was great and it’s the perfect place for snorkeling. I got to chat with the island owner and he was very accommodating. It was worth the trip!
