Ibagari Boutique Hotel

I attended a wellness retreat hosted at this hotel. It was truly paradise. The staff was warm an welcoming. The food was amazing. The attention to detail with the decor was beautiful. I woke up every morning to the beautiful view of the ocean and had a refreshing swim to start my day. The staff went above and beyond to help us feel welcomed. We had a cultural excursion to Punta Gorda which was the highlight of the trip.

Ibagari has the most amazing staff. They anticipate your needs on level that is un heard of. Special shout out to Sara, Norma, and Ruth. You made us feel special and well looked after. I originally booked hotel because it was a small boutique hotel with an onsite dive center ( Axel, you are amazing) We come back every year not only for those reasons but for the fabulous food (Luna Muna), and the quality of service. Dive center takes care of every detail. You show up, enjoy your dive and they take care of everything. An amenity that is hard to find. A hidden gem

We were so well taken care of at Ibagari. Thank you Norma, Jenifer, Agustina, Lizardo, Sarah, and so many more. We can’t thank you enough. What a beautiful resort

we cannot say enough wonderful things about ibagari. We spent our honeymoon here and the experience with nothing short of luxurious. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, integrated with nature, full of art, and extremely clean. The staff is also unmatched. Christopher in reception was there for all of our needs and questions and made our stay both easy and so fun. Our beach days were made even better with the great care and service given to us by Norma and Sara, who always made sure that we were hydrated, fed, and happy. Jose and Jorge made sure our breakfasts and dinners were perfect. we are also grateful for many water taxi rides, and one very special sunset cruise, under the care of Gaby and Axel. We were made to feel so special and really treated like royalty. if you are looking for a wonderful, relaxing and truly one of a kind experience, look no further than Ibagari.

Five Stars – Truly One of the Best Hotel and Dive Operations! Ibagari Boutique Hotel exceeded all expectations! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay truly special—so welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it hard to get up in the mornings! The food was absolutely outstanding—every meal felt like a treat. Honestly, there’s no need to leave the property if you don’t want to. Everything you need for a relaxing, luxurious getaway is right here. Duna Divers on property is hands-down one of the best dive shops I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish, everything was seamless, safe, and incredibly enjoyable. The staff is exceptional—warm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Travel time by boat to each dive was less than 15 minutes! Axel was phenomenal—so kind, professional, and informative about the local marine life and the beauty of the reef. Lucilla and Caleb are outstanding dive instructors who made every dive not just safe, but fun and memorable. The dives themselves were absolutely incredible. We saw an amazing variety of fish and vibrant coral—truly breathtaking. Every moment underwater was a reminder of how special this place is. Can’t recommend Duna Divers highly enough, and we absolutely hope to return soon for more adventures with this fantastic team!

Ibagari is a small, quiet, modern hotel which abounds with details that engage the senses, from the artwork to the local birds (an active hummingbird nest hung in the tree of the lobby, and a pair of macaws visited every afternoon), to the nightly sunsets...Oftentimes, we felt like we were the only guests, and staff were always attentive...many treating us like old friends, indulging me by allowing me to practice my Spanish...And the restaurant LunaMuna is topnotch! There was a great variety to choose from on the menu, and everything was so fresh! We ate only 4 meals (lunches) away during our 9 and 1/2 day stay. We brought our own snorkel gear, and would walk or take the water taxi to snorkel in West Bay...staff arranged our tours; bird watching with Javier at the Arboretum was the best! At night, LunaMuna provided occasional entertainment, including Garifuna musicians/dancers as well as live music. We had a most enjoyable cultural exhange and restorative visit. We miss you, Luis Escobar (concierge), Luis (pollo chuco), and Addis (concierge). And Martin's handsome smile will not be forgotten! XXO, Natalie & Jim Tip: Bring enough cash for the tours, otherwise you'll get hit with high credit card surcharges...and many tours only accept cash
