I’m not sure what all these bad reviews were about… yeah it’s a limited selection but wow was this ice cream delicious!!! small little shop right next to where we were staying! We got one chocolate and one pistachio and those were the best I’ve...ever had! The others reviewers saying store bought taste better are crazy! Was greeted with a warm smile, quick service, and attentive! Would add photos but phone eats first and was gone within 5mins!More

We’d been nearby both of the more favorably rated ice-cream spots earlier but having this be so near our lodging, ventured in. Husband’s chocolate and my chocolate-chip weren’t as good as grocery.

THis was the only place on the island where the employee never smiled, or welcomed us. They were out of Chocolate- but the Oreo Ice cream tasted artificial. Something was not right.

The outside of the shop looks very pretty, but the inside is very dingy, unclean, and has a weird vibe - like no one is really interested in that business anymore. They were also selling beef loaded tacos out of a crock pot on the...adjacent counter. The girl at the counter seemed disinterested. Limited flavors. Ice cream was okay but nothing special. There are other better options for ice cream in San Pedro (D&E and Paradise Ice Cream).More

We stopped here when we were on our lunch food tour. I asked for the Belizean fudge ice cream, and I definitely didn't regret it! Only regret is that I didn't stop another day for more!

My husband, who hates coconut, left here loving it. So much so, that we came back for more. Best ice cream we've had anywhere!

Generous portions of smooth flavorful ice cream. Not a huge assortment but enough for everyone. It was open late for after dinner.

Not sure why, but I got the impression that they do not like Americans. My daughter ordered ice cream with a sugar cone and the counter girl gave my daughter a nasty look, rolled her eyes and then showed her that there were no sugar...cones in a container that she opened, as if somehow my daughter had something to do with them not having sugar cones. Lol. No problem, we’re easy we will take just take a waffle cone instead. After the uncomfortable exchange, once she handed my daughter her ice cream, I asked for my order. She actually looked mad that I ordered as well. After completing my order. She walked away without taking my best friend’s order who was looking at the ice cream case. We had to call her back to finish ordering. At that point my 70 year old parents walked in the shop and went to order ice cream and they got the same terrible treatment. My father was super confused at why the counter girl was so mad and thought he did something wrong. There was another woman employee in the back who did not offer any assistance, so it seemed that she didn’t want to come over to help at all. Super weird vibe. We tried Paradise Ice Cream a couple days later and it was a cleaner nicer store, more options, and the counters girls were super nice and the ice cream was better.More

I just got home from an 8 day trip to Ambergris and My son couldn't wait to go to Manelly's for his favorite Milkshake! This was our 4th time on the island & Manelly's was as adorable as ever. If you are looking for a...Brand Name like Dairy Queen or Carvel or Kilwins then you will be disappointed! This is Central America People and the beauty and desire of going to Belize is to check out every single local Mom & Pop place! This is why I will continue to go to Belize!!More

When we first walked in it smelled like old food. They were selling nachos but they didn't look or smell good. Most of the ice cream was very low in the container which made it seem pretty old. We got chunky monkey and it was...pretty good but seemed like it had been there for a while. Just okay.More

Pistachio ice cream is delicious!!. Very small place. They definitely need to clean the fish tank. Its so dark and dirty, you can barely see the poor fish. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Limited flavors, unfriendly service, and the ice cream quality just isn't there. After having ice cream at Paradice Cream, which was off-the-charts-great, I regret that we visited Manelly's.

There used to be an Internet Cafe next door to Manelly's when I first moved to San Pedro in 2001. That's where I spent all day every day so had a lot of ice cream at Manelly's. When they started beef nachos, that's where I...went for lunch. They make their own ice cream right on site and it's the best on the island.More

We had trouble finding this place, they moved to a different location and the maps had not been updated. When we finally found it the ice cream was underwhelming. There was not a lot of flavor choices and it almost tasted like it was freezer...burnt. I wouldn’t say it was terrible, but there are better options in the area.More
