LOCATION
Ambergris Caye, is Belize's most popular island destination, lying some 35 miles from Belize City. The island is a very flat, twenty-five mile long slice of limestone with mangrove on the west and narrow beaches on the east. It takes two hours to reach from Belize City by boat and twenty minutes by plane.
Visitors arrive on the island at San Pedro town, the most populated and renown area on the island. San Pedro Town, located near the Barrier Reef, is on the southern tip of the island. The white sand streets of San Pedro ,in an area six blocks long and four blocks wide, accommodate bicycles, golf carts and mostly walking in your bare feet
ACCOMODATIONS
Casitas
Greet a stunning sunrise from the private verandah of your thatch-roofed
cabaņa. Each cabana is decorated with mahogany beds draped in custom
mosquito netting allowing you to enjoy the cool evening breezes, or if
you prefer each unit is air-conditioned. The Cabanas are separated from
the Caribbean by only a white sand beach and a wide expanse of verdant
lawn. Casitas are available with a queen or two single beds in each
cottage. All casitas have their own private baths.
Plantation
Plantation Rooms are surrounded by tropical hibiscus filled gardens and
coconut palms. Each room features a private entrance, individual
verandahs with lovely views of the pool and beach and private bath. All
rooms have Caribbean plantation style interiors with either a queen or
king size bed.
The Rainforest Suite
Also called the Honeymoon Suite it is only fifty feet from the waters
edge with a wrap around furnished verandah. The suite is a secluded unit
with private bath and an oversized room featuring jungle style,
whimsical flora and fauna wall frescos painted by a renowned local
artist. Floor to ceiling windows and French doors provide all the views
you could wish for in this tropical paradise.
Villas
A single story villa with vaulted hardwood ceilings is located on our
white sand palm shaded beach. Both bedrooms and the living room open
onto the spacious hardwood deck which overlooks the beach, providing the
perfect spot to enjoy an island sunrise over the barrier reef. Although
the bedrooms mirror each other in size, one features a king bed and the
other two queen beds. The living room, kitchen and dining room also have
a garden view deck in the back allowing for cooling tropical breezes and
a view of the sunrise and sunset. The bedrooms, which have private
baths, may be closed off from the living area and reserved as a Master
Suite (the bedroom plus living area). The living room offers a double
sofa bed.
Also available is a spacious three bedroom two level plantation house. The main floor master bedroom features a customized bamboo queen bed and an en suite master bath. The living room, dining room and kitchen all open onto an oversized covered verandah furnished with locally-crafted wicker and mahogany furniture. Upstairs are two privately accessed bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom and featuring two double beds or one queen and twin. A shared balcony overlooks the beach and barrier reef. The lower level of this lovely house can also be taken as a Master Suite: master bedroom, kitchen and living area.
ACTIVITIES
Come discover one of the wonders of the natural world, the Great Belize
Barrier Reef. It's the longest such ecosystem in the northern Hemisphere
and a living treasure, rich with uncounted species of colorful fish,
aquatic plants and coral.
Snorkeling
Definitely worth a visit is the Hol Chan Marine reserve, perhaps our
most famous snorkeling destination. Established in May of 1987, this
entire area is literally a natural aquarium. In the Maya tongue, hol
chan means small channel. The entire reserve consists of only 5 square
miles and is adjacent to the Marco Gonzalez archaeological site. Diving
or snorkeling this unique area will give you the opportunity to see
myriads of colorful reef inhabitants going about their business
seemingly oblivious to visitors. Click on the Snorkeling bar or picture

Diving
Come discover one of the wonders of the natural world, the Great Belize
Barrier Reef. It's the longest such eco-system in the northern
Hemisphere and a living treasure, rich with uncounted species of
colorful fish, aquatic plants and coral.
With the exception of excursions to the Blue Hole and the outer atolls,
the majority of our diving is done on and around the reef , which on
Ambergris Caye is no further than half a mile from the shore. A
combination of cuts, canyons and caverns, some of which are visible from
the air as you approach the San Pedro Airport.
Fishing
Belizean waters are justifiably world renowned for sportfishing. Whether
your tastes run to landing dinner for your table after a day on the
reef, the thrill of hooking a huge game-fish in deep water, or light
tackle and fly-fishing for tarpon and bonefish on "The Flats",
you'll find our guides are some of the best in the country. Many of our
guests have returned year after year for the opportunity of fishing with
their favorite guide. You may be back next year for the same reason.
Mainland Day Tours
Long before the "discovery" of the Americas by Europeans, the
land now known as Belize was home to a thriving and advanced culture.
The living descendants of this period are a proud part of the mosaic of
modern Belize, while the remains of their cities and cultural centers
are found literally all over the land. Many are recognized
archaeological sites and others may remain undiscovered in a farmers
field or a townsman's backyard.
We'll be happy to assist you in planning a day trip or an overnight excursion to a unique aspect of our Belizean heritage. Altun Ha is just one of the many archaeological sites which might be of interest to the visitor. In addition, there are a number of ways of getting there. Buses, vans and private guide driven vehicles are perfect for many sites and a great way to see the countryside. Tropic Island and Maya Airways all offer scheduled and charter flights to many parts of the country, one carrier has flights available to Guatemala especially for travelers to Tikal.
Sailing
If sailing is more your style, just sit back, relax and let nature
take its course en route to Caye Caulkner. You'll enjoy snorkeling at
the Hol Chan Marine Reserve and after a leisurely lunch, make your way
back to San Pedro with a refreshing snorkel-stop at Shark/Ray Alley.
Private sailing charters on these and other crafts can be arranged. Also available and highly recommended are quick and comfortable trips to the Barrier Reef by twin outboard power boats. The itinerary for these trips is variable. Our boats are spacious and our guides can answer any questions you may
