Overall, my stay at the Voyager Sun Reef Hotel in San Pedro, Belize fell short of expectations in several ways.
## Expectations vs. Reality
The photos on the hotel's website are significantly better than the reality you'll encounter upon arrival. This discrepancy between marketing materials and the actual property was one of the most disappointing aspects of my stay.
## Noise Levels
Despite previous reviews mentioning the quiet atmosphere, I found the external noise levels to be noticeable and disruptive. This contradicted what I had read in other reviews, which had influenced my booking decision.
## Staff Interactions
While the staff was generally welcoming, I experienced an uncomfortable situation regarding visitors. When I had a friend come to my room, a staff member approached me in what felt like a non-chalant manner to remind me of the hotel's policy prohibiting non-guests. The interaction was handled poorly and left me feeling embarrassed in front of my friend.
The staff could benefit from training on how to enforce policies with more tact and discretion, perhaps by addressing such matters privately rather than creating potentially uncomfortable situations for guests.
