Pros: Laid back, little slice of paradise. Cons: I had to take the last boat off at 3:00 pm.
The word Hurricane isn't too popular with the residents of Caye Caulker. Mind that's not surprising as this tiny island community, about 30 kilometres off the mainland has often felt the brunt of them in the past. The island itself was split in half by ...
Pros: laid-back relaxation, easy atmosphere, fun in the sun Cons: busy during tourist season, watch out for food poisoning
Caye Caulker differs from its larger sister island of Ambergris Caye in that this island is a vacation destination for many Belizean locals and thus maintains its local, Rastafarian, laid-back feel that I found Ambergris Caye lacked. While Ambergris ...
Pros: Relaxing, fun, and a new experience. Unlike every other island I have been to. Cons: Having to get on the plane home
Ambergris Caye is an exciting 15 minute flight from Belize City on a small aircraft, the Cessna Caravan, via Tropic Air. I was scared of small planes, but was invited to sit in the co-pilot's seat for the exciting flight. It was an incredible view and a ...
Pros: Right next a reef, snorkeling is just a walk in the water away, quiet, relaxing. Cons: We did get a few minor stomach cramps from the food.
Wake up, eat breakfast, snorkel, lie in a hammock, wait for the lunch bell to ring, eat again, snorkel again, hang out in another hammock, take a 5-10 minute walk (depending on how fast you walk, and by now you’re pace should have slowed...
Pros: Laid back, natural atmosphere, friendly people, great snorkeling, and inexpensive food and accommodations. Cons: only the sticky, plastic chairs.
"… I woke up to ants rushing up and down the wall that my single bed stands against…everything feels hot and sticky down here. I'm sitting on a dirty, sticky plastic chair, wearing short cut-offs. I slouch, hoping to minimize the exposure that my...
Pros: people, not a huge crowd, plenty to do, the reefs! Cons: not really the "spring break" destination, the island is small and some people may want more
What other place in the world boasts an excellent tourist spot, great people and a medical school? I went to San Pedro Town on Ambergris Caye, Belize last summer and had the time of my life. I've been to Key West, to other parts of Florida, to Virginia...
Pros: Fabulous lodge and water activities Cons: None
Turneffe Island Lodge, located on 12-acre Caye Bokel at the southern tip if this atoll (one of only four in this hemisphere), provides divers, snorkelers, anglers (fly or spinning), and sun worshippers with more fun that any human short of Mother Theresa...
Pros: Diving and service were both superior Cons: some places are pricey, noisy at night in town
Over 200 Cayes dot the Belize coast line located in the Caribbean Sea
off the tip of the Mexico Yucatan Peninsula. Ambergris Caye is the largest of the islands. It is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the tropical surroundings.
Prior to our recent trip, I had not known much about Caye Caulker, one of many small off shore islands off the coast of Belize. As most guide books on Belize will tell you, it's a small island, catering mainly to divers, about 50 minutes from the...
Pros: Great Food, Nice People, Golf Carts, Scuba Diving, Beautiful Beaches & *Very Inexpensive* Cons: Going back home. It ruined me for other islands, none can compare.
I visited Ambergris Caye, Belize a few years ago not knowing what to expect, but when I got there it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. We arrived on the island through the Mayan Inter-Island Air and at first were a little concerned about the overcast weather. ...
Pros: The beach, the food, the snorkeling, the diving. Cons: The price
We just got back from our honeymoon in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize, CA. I read some of the other reviews here before we chose Ramon's Village as our resort.
First off, I'd have to say that we had a great time down there! Ramon's is a...
Pros: great food, entertainment, and prices Cons: Some hustlers
I took a vacation to this lovely, unspoiled country last year completely unaware of what was in store for me. I arrived @ the Belize airport o a sunny afternoon and after a brief interlude in customs took one of the readily available taxis to town. Be...
Pros: I love Ambergris Caye, would go back tomorrow. Cons: Wouldn't wish Maruba Spa on my worst enemy.
Review Topic: Overview
Review Topic: OverviewI'm a retired little old lady who travelled by myself to Belize in January 1999. I had made arrangements to stay on Ambergris Caye at Mata Rocks Resort through the internet....
Pros: Part of Belize and a nice way to end a trip after the jungle. Cons: Poor beaches, unfriendly people, noisy, dirty, crowded and overpriced.
What was Madonna smoking when she sang that song? San Pedro is not what I think of when I think of a charming and pretty island paradise. I have read the other reviews and apparently am the only one who feels this way. And just in case you think I ...
