My husband and I bought a timeshare at Capt Morgan's in 2003 while visiting on our honeymoon. We stayed in one of the casitas and found it to be quite charming and romantic. We decided to sit through a timeshare spiel because they were offering $100USD, and before we knew it we were buying a timeshare there. We have been... more

We recently returned from 7 nights at Captain Morgan's with our two teenage children. The property is beautiful and the resort offered enough variety to keep the kids engaged. There currently are 2 pools on the property, with expansion plans underway. You can't beat a condo that is stones throw away from the ocean. It was awesome. The service staff... more

After reading the previous reviews, I have to say I was very nervous about our trip to Captain Morgans. Thank Goodness all our fears were for nothing. The second we landed in San Pedro the staff from Captain Morgans was there to help with our luggage and questions. They made sure we didn't have to lift a finger from the... more

Online, this place looks spectacular. However, we were very disappointed upon arrival. My wife and I decided to stay in the Ambergris Caye for 12 days during our honeymoon. After our extensive research we decided on an upscale resort, and Captain Morgan's. We figured we would splurge for 7 days at the other resort, and then take it down a... more

I made the mistake of booking with Morgans before reading the reviews, thankfully it turned out to be a great stay. When I looked on this website my jaw just dropped wide open. The reviews I read made it seem as if only the people that owned timeshares were getting good treatment, otherwise it was going to be "timeshare hell".... more

We had a great week at Captain Morgan's - the location and the property is beautiful. However, the north end of the resort is being redeveloped. Two (2) new buildings are nearing completion and a third is under construction. During the next 12 - 24 months, the 8 cabanas on the property will be removed. In the meantime, I wouldn't... more

Ok, its been a few years, but we may return to Belize so we're catching up on the review. Very dingy, small, and run-down. Dirt road and marsh-like area behind resort (if you can call it that) was strewn with garbage and I believe had a few crocs. So gross, in fact, we left the 2nd night hence forfeiting 4... more

The Captain Morgan is a nice upscale resort in Belize. I can't say anything negative about the facilities. The customer service was lacking though. Management seemed much more interested in selling time shares than helping one time guests. The event office didn't seem to care if you got what you were looking for. For an oversized American, the thing that... more

Captain Morgan is vastly overated and overpriced. Do not look at the pictures. There is not a decent beach on site. The hotel is located 3.5 miles from San Pedro and boat transportation has to be arranged every time you want to escape the hotel restaurant (which should be escaped). $56 for a family of 4, for a return trip... more

My husband and I just returned from 10 days in Ambergris Caye. Upon arriving at our resort (at which we had pre-paid for a suite for the entire stay) we were a bit let down - it okay, but more like a motel than a resort. However, it did have beautiful views and a kind staff. After a couple of... more
