Traveler Reviews on Ambergris Caye

Ambergris Caye

Aug 17, 2008

Resort was not as spectacular as we had expected. Very mediocre. No restaurant on site. Pool was ok. Front desk were very nice people and our rooms spectacular. We did not like the expense of the tours. You can find much better deals in town. Be sure to ask around and don't settle for the hotels. These trips do include... more

Capricorn Resort

Aug 17, 2008

My Husband and I took a trip to Belize for our 23 year wedding anniversary. It was so romantic, my husband asked me to marry him again. Needless to say we are going to renew our vows at Capricorn next Valentines day. When you stay at Capricorn, it's like staying with old friends. The staff is so friendly and attentive.... more

La Perla Del Caribe

Aug 16, 2008

From the minute I slipped my shoe off and sunk my well traveled feet into the sun drenched sand, I knew this place was for me. From the afternoon commute along the pristine Caribbean Sea to the the eclectic artwork adorning my private villa, I was at home and at peace with my lovely island in the sun. La Perla... more

Blue Tang Inn

Aug 15, 2008

After web-searching through the dozens of hotels in and around San Pedro, we are SO happy we selected Blue Tang! Friendly, helpful staff, close to everything in town (2 to 10 minute walk), quaint waterfront location, fabulous view from our porch (#15) or the deck above. Tours pick you up right from the dock, plenty of places to eat out... more

Blue Tang Inn

Minneapolis, MN
Aug 15, 2008

I visited San Pedro with some friends of mine this past summer and it was an amazing experience. We were looking for a place to experience the Caribbean and relax for a little over a week. The Blue Tang Inn was a perfect fit. The rooms were comfortable, clean and included everything you would need for an extended stay. We... more

Portofino

Aug 14, 2008

Wow, what a fantastic and beautiful resort! We traveled all over Belize for almost two weeks, and we ended our stay at Portofino - wish we were there longer! It was so relaxing, very clean, every cabana looks out over the sparkling blue pool and then not far after the ocean. You can take a kayak out to the reef... more

Aug 13, 2008

It's a great place to stay, but a bit pricey. They have discovered that profit comes from the short haul North American market! Having said that, it's a great location with good facilites. The rooms are spacious and the food pretty good. more

Villas At Banyan Bay

Aug 12, 2008

My wife and I picked this hotel for our destination wedding. On the beach, an aisle of flowers laid on the sand for her to walk down, we said our vows inches from the tide. Banyan Bay is a fine place to stay. The villas are large 2 or 3 bedroom suites with fully modern appliances, very clean, and with... more

We found ourselves at the Portofino for our honeymoon. It was one of the best decisions we could have made. We were greated at the airport by Mo who graciously carried our broken, heavy, and overspilling suitcase to the boat where we took a 15 min ride up the shore to get to the Portofino. It was one of the... more

Xaman Ek Resort & Spa

2 of 5 stars
Atlanta, GA
Aug 11, 2008

Let me start by saying, if you are looking to lay on the beach all day and listen to the waves, then San Pedro (Ambergris Caye) may not be the place for you. Because of the barrier reef the water is calm (the waves crash at the reef which is about 1/4 of a mile out) and there is an... more

Lily's Hotel

1 of 5 stars
San Diego, CA
Aug 10, 2008

My friends and I decided to be adventurous about our 2-night trip to San Pedro and book a hotel after arriving on the island (as was recommended since a lot of the hotel websites clearly misrepresent their property; e.g. Ruby's). After walking around and assessing 'budget hotels', we stumbled upon Lily's. We were initially greatly impressed with the proximity to... more

The Legacy was amazing! Great room at a beautiful hotel. Just be prepared for the 15 minute boat ride into town. Also, as of 8/08, the hotel runs limited boat rides in/out of town (10am, 1pm into town. 6:30pm from town). However, the hotel does do an anytime run for check-in and check-out. If you want to travel to/from San... more

Aug 10, 2008

I am not a diver, but rather a snorkeler. Myself and 6 other friends went snorkeling there and it is absolutely beautiful. I am not sure why others felt it was crowded or overrated. There were plenty of beautiful fish, nurse sharks & stingrays. We went with two of the employee's from our resort, Tranquility Bay, and they were great.... more

This is the fourth time I've stayed at Mata Rocks Resort, and each time I seem to enjoy it more! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and the owners are on-site -- a rarity these days! They too are friendly and approachable. Everyone there seems eager that visitors enjoy their stay. The staff has arranged snorkelling trips and trips... more

On the week of June 16th I started my vacation in Belize City I was a host at the Grand Colony in San Pedro.

Me and my husband just got back from Captain Morgans last week. We had read some of the reviews and were really scared and not knowing what to expect. We were greeted on the dock and then taken for some rum punch. Everyone was very friendly an the property was clean and peaceful. We participated in several of the resorts... more

Grand Colony Island Villas

The Grand Colony is a great place to stay. I stay at the Grand Colony on every visit to San Pedro. Awesome rooms, great views and great service. The pool is never crowded, and the staff is at your service. more

The condominiums at pelican Reef are meticulously maintained and acceptionally well appointed. The concierge services are incredible and the resort bar is a fabulous place to relax at the end of the day. more

Louisville, KY
Aug 8, 2008

We have stayed at Banyan Bay and companion property of Grand Colony for four years now and can't imagine a better resort on Ambergris Caye. Suites are clean, casual and well priced. In addition a lot of amenities; dive shop, pool and beach, and Rico's restaurant. All of the staff are very friendly, knowlegable and eager to please. Just a... more
