Surfing for 'the' idyllic Belize Vacation Resort? Stay awhile, please. You might decide that we are it.
Welcome. You've probably heard about the wonders of a Belize Vacation -- a majestic mix of clear turquoise waters, spectacular scenery, exhilarating adventures and a tranquil, interesting island atmosphere. But where to stay, that's the challenge. What we are not is a large and impersonal destination resort. Family owned and run, we are very personal. We care a lot about our guests, one by one and, happily, many return with friends and family. Why? Check out the testimonials on this site. Many pleased guests, in fact, have even volunteered their comments on the website tripadvisor.com -- like "absolutely beautiful setting," "impeccable service," "a piece of paradise," "absolutely amazing place," "expectations exceeded," and "wish I was still there." We appreciate those reviews, and try very hard, every day, to live up to them.

So if you're envisioning an intimate, tropical, service-dedicated, direct-beachfront Caribbean destination, a Belize Resort just a few minutes north of picturesque San Pedro, we are all of those things. We also provide comfortable and very appealing accommodations, in suites created by an interior designer from Oregon who found and fell in love with this beachfront property at water's edge. We are confident you will greatly enjoy a stay with us and your easy access to all the adventures a Belize Vacation offers, right from our private dock. You will have one regret, however: that you had to leave it all.

The things you’ll want to know:

Where we are
We are the closest Ambergris Caye resort to San Pedro, north of town, a fun and picturesque 10-minute water-taxi ride or interesting bike or golf cart ride away. Walk the two miles to town? Some hardy guests do, then boat back, with packages.

Our Guests
We welcome singles, couples, families, groups of friends, children of all ages, anniversary celebrants, wedding parties and honeymooners -- we host many, and our record of return guests makes us proud. Take a look, by clicking above, at what some of our past guests have said about their time with us.

Our Beach
We enjoy 200+ feet of natural, pristine Caribbean beachfront, with our own 250' dock (swim from it, or from our beach), to which all the local guides come to pick up our guests for one-of-a-kind excursions, both on the island and on the Belize mainland.

Our Property
We offer a freshwater pool w/a wrap-around deck and comfortable chairs for sunning and lounging; 60-channel cable TV; wi-fi internet access; free bicycles and kayaks; golf carts; a game room; beachfront volleyball; a poolside palapa bar; our Black Orchid Spa w/diverse services; palm trees and hammocks; and an outdoor barbecue.

Divers?
Ambergris Caye is diver's heaven, and our on-site dive shop is staffed by some of the island's best certified divemasters. They take our guests out all day, every day, right from our dock, to dive (and snorkel) at many of the more than 50 dive venues available just 500 yards off shore at the second largest barrier reef in the world. The guides are great with experienced and neophyte divers alike, and are trusted and appreciated by all of our dive guests. Need PADI certification? Not a problem. Never dive before, but intrigued? Take our one-day "resort course" and discover a whole new underwater world.

Food & Drink?
At our poolside bar, you'll find enticing snacks - ceviche, chips and salsa, shrimp cocktail, chicken fingers, meat pies, nachos, and lots of local baked goods, with more selections coming. You'll also enjoy dining around. You can beach-walk in minutes to some of the island's best shorefront restaurants and bars, and San Pedro itself is a mecca for moderately prices dining discoveries, its restaurants serving food from many cultures. Or, when you're all dined-out, you can prepare light meals right in your own fully equipped kitchen, shopping in San Pedro supermarkets or ordering groceries delivered to your suite.

Our Management
You will greatly enjoy the personal, caring, fun and very experienced on-site management team, an expatriate American family who delight in treating everyone like family. They will help you plan all the things to do and see that you've heard about and that brought you to the island, and send you home delighted that you came.

How You Get To Us
Simplicity itself. We will book your connecting flight from Belize City to San Pedro; we will meet your plane and taxi you to a nearby water-taxi landing (a five-minute drive, with a supermarket stop along the way, if you wish), from which you'll be whisked to our dock. Staff will be at dockside to greet you and escort you to your suite.

Our Service Commitment
Finally, if you elect to join us, before you depart for your Belize Vacation we’ll provide you with unparalleled email and phone support, giving you information on Ambergris Caye, excursion opportunities and dining recommendations, and answering your questions whenever they occur to you -- a nearly round-the-clock responsiveness we believe is unique on the island.

 

Our Accommodations:

We are unabashedly proud of our accommodations. Our 1BR and 2BR/2BA air-conditioned, beachfront suites all have fully-equipped kitchens, right down to the blenders and coffee-makers, and are fully furnished, right down to the linens and beach towels.

All project quality throughout -- in their construction, their spaciousness (550 square feet for 1BRs, 1,100 for 2BRs), their tile floors and countertops, the cabinetry of mahogany and Belizean cedar, the decorative imports from Mexico and Guatemala, the stainless steel ceiling fans, the cathedral ceilings, the spacious bedrooms with custom-designed furniture, the hand-made sinks and large showers, lots of windows facing the Caribbean waters and offshore barrier reef. We believe you’ll find these suites exceptional, and uncommon for island accommodations. All are entertainment-quality. Daily maid service? You bet.

 

Ambergris Caye: La Isla Bonita:

Only sophisticated or adventurous travelers know there is a Caribbean island so close to mainland America, and so welcoming. Ambergris Caye, 20 miles off the Belize mainland,is directly on beautiful Caribbean beachfront, just a short, non-stop flight from Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston and Dallas. There are long stretches of beaches to walk; elegant and down-home shorefront restaurants; bicycles and water-taxis and golf carts to take you wherever you want to go; water toys of every description; the sandy streets of San Pedro, where you can shop its boutiques barefoot, email friends from internet cafes, savor local foods in affordable restaurants, hang out at atmospheric beachside bars, disco or gamble a bit, and interact with friendly locals who truly enjoy visitors to their island. Most of all, there are unforgettable adventures and excursions to experience -- from snorkeling 500 yards offshore at the second largest barrier reef in the world, to swimming with sharks, to inland jungle cruises and Mayan ruins and cave tubing. And, of course, there is scuba diving -- Ambergris Caye is divers' heaven, with more than 50 dive venues to explore, all teeming with exotic marine life. The locals call Ambergris Caye La Isla Bonita. You may as well, and once you discover it, you'll likely be back.

 

Excursions:

White Sands Cove is a launching pad for Belize adventures of many kinds.

Diving? Whatever your skill level, our carefully-selected divemasters will work with you to improve those skills while introducing you to the many underwater wonders of Ambergris Caye.
