Traveler Reviews on Ambergris Caye

Blue Reef Island Resort

Dec 4, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

As a member of the 1 million mile club with American I have traveled the world and found one thing in common, good service is only as good as the disposition and attitude of the people providing the service. Many places in the world are beautiful and impressive, but few deliver the level of service with a smile like Blue... more

SunBreeze Hotel

Dec 4, 2008

We contacted the Sunbreeze direct and were very pleased with the prices offered and the assistance afforded. We found the rate, with air transfers included, very good value. On arrival our baggage was picked up at the small aerodrome and we walked the 200 yards to the hotel. Despite the hotel being close to the aerodrome you hardly noticed the... more

Aqua Dives Belize

1 of 5 stars
Seattle, WA
Dec 3, 2008

Belize is a great diving destination and the Blue Hole is a particularly exciting dive. We dove around San Pedro with another dive outfit who did not make regular trips to the Blue Hole so we went with Aqua Dives. We felt like cattle on this trip. The staff were generally unpleasant and abrasive and the boat wasn't setup for... more

Just returned from a second stay at "Caye Casa", in San Pedro, Belize. We rarely return to the same place more than once in a year, this time however the chance to 'Hit the ground running' caused us to rethink this. Within hours of our arrival the refrigerator was stocked, we had rented a golf cart (optional this close to... more

Belize Tradewinds Paradise Villas

4 of 5 stars
San Diego, CA
Dec 3, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Didn't book thru Tradewinds as they only own 4 of the 24 units. Booked thru Captain Ron on VRBO (and AmbergrisCaye.com), but managed by Nellie's Property Management, who manages many of the other 20 units (http://www.nelliesproperty.com/). If you go directly thru Captain Ron, you can get a combo condo/dive package (discount) as he co-owns Reef Adventures dive shop. Pool is... more

Reef Adventures Belize

5 of 5 stars
San Diego, CA
Dec 3, 2008

Hooked up with Reef Adventures through a combo condo / dive package with the U.S. co-owner, Captain Ron (on VRBO and http://ambergriscaye.com/reefadventures/). I was really pleased with what I found when we got there - small operation that takes small groups and provides good, personal service. (We stayed at Paradise Villas and the dock for Reef Adventures was just to... more

Xaman Ek Resort & Spa

Tucson, AZ
Dec 3, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I can't say enough good things about our stay at Xaman Ek Retreat and Spa, but I will give it my best shot. It really does look like a Corona commercial (white beach, crystal blue water, docks, cabanas, quiet, etc...)! To begin, I originally found this gem of a hotel right here on TripAdvisor. When I called the facility to... more

Belizean Shores Resort

Dec 3, 2008

The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The only negatives were intermittent power outages, loss of a/c on the last day and no phones in the room. more

Belizean Reef Luxury Beachfront Suites

pincher creek
Dec 3, 2008

We would highly recommend the Belizean Reef as a beautiful place for a vacation. Ken and Virginia who manage the property stay onsight and are there for your every question and to help you in any way. The condo was cleaned every day so was spotless..all in all the best run rental we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed our... more

Aqua Dives Belize

1 of 5 stars
Breckenridge, CO
Dec 2, 2008

The only mistake we made on our trip was diving with Aqua Dives. I had never dove before and signed up for a resort dive. They took me out to the marine reserve where the current was very strong and my instructor only spent about 10-15 minutes with me before he basically said "screw you" and took the other divers... more

Caribbean Villas Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Breckenridge, CO
Dec 2, 2008

My boyfriend and I had never been to Belize and weren't sure what we wanted to do or where we wanted to go, so we only booked 3 nights at Caribbean Villas to begin with. After a couple of days we were enjoying ourselves so much that we decided to just go ahead and see if we could book the... more

Belize Legacy Beach Resort

Dec 2, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Nicest rooms, great grounds, fabulous snorkeling at mexico rocks, however, the Caye is very expensive. Like, makes Hawaii seem reasonable. The restaurant seems expensive but is on par with the rest of the Caye. Bring bug spray for sure. The whole food thing was a surprise. You have a kitchen, stove, refrigerator, and stove, take advantage of it, and if... more

Pedro's Inn

1/1 found this review helpful

Pedros is the best value in San Pedro, Ambergris. The deluxe room was terrific. Definitely worth the 40.00 USD a night. The pizza made at the bar is amazing. I lucked into a fantastic Thanksgiving supper and was made to feel incredibly welcome. Peter, the owner, is incredibly personable and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone... more

Xanadu Island Resort

Dec 2, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I was traveling solo during my time on Ambergris, and had the good fortune to happen upon Xanadu while walking down the beach from San Pedro town. It caught my attention because it was so beautiful and so mellow at the same time. I relocated from the sub-par in-town hotel where I had been staying, and absolutely LOVED Xanadu and... more

Matachica Beach Resort

5 of 5 stars
New Orleans
Dec 2, 2008

What an incredible place. From start to finish everything was first class. Booking with Burga was a pleasure. From the pick up at the airport to the boat ride to Matachica, everything was just perfect. The actual resort and our Casita was kept pristine. The food was exceptional and the service even better. We would highly recomend this location to... more

Tranquility Bay Resort

5 of 5 stars
minneapolis,mn
Dec 2, 2008

Quite simply incredible. My wife and I stayed at Tranquility Bay for 13 nights in August 2008 for our honeymoon. We have both traveled the Caribbean extensively and have stayed at several luxury resorts and believe me, this place is paradise. From the moment we arrived on the island, our experience greatly exceeded our expectations. Bill greeted us as we... more

Brahma Blue Resort

5 of 5 stars
Winnipeg
Dec 2, 2008

My stay at Brahma Blue was an experience I will never forget. My main purpose for the vacation was to give my mind a rest. After having been laid off from work, I needed to give my brain a vacation. My husband and I treated ourselves to a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a taxi... more

The Tides Beach Resort

Dec 2, 2008

Everytime you go to the TIdes it is like going home. You are greeted with hugs and warmth that you do not get anywhere else. Even if it is your first say you immediately become part of the family. They have extended the hotel to accomodate larger groups so that a family can stay together. We saw Sabrina put together... more

The Pink Motel

2 of 5 stars
Seattle, WA
Dec 2, 2008

Our first night in Belize was pretty exciting but The Pink Motel we stayed at was pretty disappointing. I wasn't expecting much since we were travelling on a tight budget but the rooms were not ready to have people staying in them. To be fair, the website did say they were still working on the place but I expected at... more

Changes In Latitudes Bed and Breakfast

4 of 5 stars
Chicago, IL
Nov 30, 2008

I must say I was hesitant to book this place; mostly because I was relying on the views from other travelers(no offense to reviewers out there, but I've been burnt before from reading reviews on this site). But once we placed our foot on the property of this B n' B--all I could say is wicked n' nice (when you... more
