As people used to our wired-in conveniences, staying at the Mana Kai cabins was certainly outside of our comfort zone. However, we throughly enjoyed our stay and hated to leave by the end. Nelli & Francisco were the most prompt and gracious hosts we've ever had. The property was calming and serene - even though you could literally see the biggest market in Belize from our cabin. We did not have to take a single taxi the whole time we were there. Walked to and ate at different places every day.
The cabins are very bare bones but very neat and clean - just as pictured and described. The open air "community property" kitchen was a nice little surprise - so if you do want to cook up a little something or have need for a couple of dishes or utensils, they are available for use. Overall, our stay was wonderful and we would definitely visit again. If you're on the fence about staying here - just do it!
