HOPKINS, Belize, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Hamanasi Adventure & Dive Resort (www.hamanasi.com) was chosen as #1 Best for Romance, #2 Best Hidden Gem and #4 Best Bargain Hotel in Central & South America by TripAdvisor(R) in its 2009 Travelers' Choice(R) awards out of a pool of over 10,000 hotels in the region. Hamanasi, also ranked by TripAdvisor's popularity index as the #1 hotel in Belize and Central America, opened in 2000, and continues to be one of the world's most popular resort destinations for adventure vacations.

"Hamanasi always strives to deliver an exceptional, intimate experience, personalized to the needs of every guest," said Dana Krauskopf, co-founder and owner of Hamanasi. "Our guests truly become extended members of our family, and we work hard to ensure we provide the very best adventure vacation for everyone who stays with us. Being selected for these TripAdvisor awards by real-life travelers who have enjoyed their visit here is a clear illustration that Hamanasi continues to exceed our guests' expectations," added Krauskopf.

Now in its seventh year, the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice awards honor the world's best hotels, earning their distinction from those who know them best - real travelers. Unlike any other hotel awards programs in the world, TripAdvisor(R) Travelers' Choice(R) winners are based on the millions of real and unbiased reviews and opinions about hotels on tripadvisor.com(TM) and content from across the web.

"TripAdvisor travelers always appreciate great values, and 2009 is certainly no exception. The 2009 Travelers' Choice awards highlight more bargain properties than ever before with 190, nearly five times as many as last year," said Michele Perry, vice president of global communications for TripAdvisor. "Millions of real travelers worldwide have helped identify these outstanding hotels, recognized for their exceptional accommodations, service, and value."

Hamanasi consistently receives top reviews on TripAdvisor. According to recent guests Donny & Amanda Capodonico of California, "We were blown away by the level of service, the quality, but even more importantly the friends we made. We truly felt loved by everyone at the resort and our honeymoon would not have been the same had we stayed anywhere else." For their full review click here: Hamanasi Resort Belize Vacation Reviews
