10 Resorts in Ambergris Caye: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 2, 2023 Alice Mieles

Ambergris Caye hovers in a vacation sweet spot: just enough amenities to make it exciting, but not so overdeveloped that you’re tripping over flip-flopped tourists. A mangrove swamp is the eye of this white beach island, the largest in Belize, and golf carts are the main form of transportation along the sandy roads. Reef divers drool over the Belize Barrier Reef and the Blue Hole, a 400-feet deep circle of limestone that teems with angelfish, elkhorn coral, cleaner shrimp and stalactites.

Small but quaint hotel

I loved the Blue Tang Inn, it was small & quaint. The people that work there are very happy to help you with anything that you need to make your stay more enjoyable. It was very convenient to stores & restaurants. We had a hiccup in traveling there, our 1st flight of the day was cancelled, but Emilse, was very helpful in arranging new flights with Tropic Air for the next day. Lionel & Giovanni (hope I spelled it right) made sure that everything was properly working & clean. They were very entertaining as they caught iguanas. Marlon is very knowledgeable in all things to do with the island. Fanny the manager & Elizabeth made you feel very welcome! All in all everyone was very friendly & helpful. I would highly recommend staying with them. We will definitely stay @ the Blue Tang again!!!

Great resort

We just had a lovely stay at the Las Terrazas resort. Great location, just far enough out of the busy city but close enough to get there if you wanted to. The staff, Anna, Albert, Steven, Iroy, Jahphet Graciella and all of the staff were terrific! I never felt rushed, pressured or anything. Just cared for and enjoyed. What a vacation!

Gorgeous, relaxing jungle setting

Reviewed By Mompp123

We just returned from a 6 night stay at Ramons. The property is lush with beautiful tropical vegetation and the rooms were very comfortable. The staff works around the clock to rake and haul away the sargassum so the beach is enjoyable. We saw so many other resorts with huge amounts of sargassum piled up on the beach but none at Ramons. The restaurant, Pineapples, is wonderful and we had many breakfasts, lunches, and dinners there. My daughter got her open water PADI certification at the on-site dive center (with Rolando, who is awesome). The crew and our excursions were a highlight...be sure to find Joshua (the manatee whisperer- haha) and Pete for your snorkeling adventures. They are both so knowledgeable about ocean life and made us feel well cared for...they were such fun! The hotel staff is there to take care of your every need, they are organized, responsive and do everything with a smile. Highly recommend Ramons!

Perfect, but Not Cheap

Reviewed By Qbanbread

Aside from the bugs--and few insect repellent is provided everywhere--this place was perfect. I usually shame people who never leave the resort but I never wanted to leave. Food was extraordinary (former French Laundry chef), service exemplary (Julio, Gab, Archie, Job, Flor, literally everyone), tours phenomenal, rooms were luxurious and boutique-style. I wouldn't change a thing. Perfect.

A Unique Resort

Reviewed By bluespecialk

We were here the last week in May for 5 days. Enjoyed our stay very much. Staff is friendly. Private beach is very nice, but it is about a 20 minute boat ride one way. There is food and alcohol at the beach. Breakfast is delicious, get some fry jack and loganiza sausage, you can thank me later. Couple of minor items: no in room coffee maker, no chair in room (2 on the porch). The pool area was good, look for Bob the crocodile. Go to the Japanese restaurant and Level Up arcade. The arcade was something to do when it was raining, but a slice of nostalgia none the less. Highly recommend you rent a golf cart. Shout out to the concierge staff, they took care of things. Despite a couple days of rain, would recommend the resort.

across from the airport. Definitely a surprise from the street. Clean, and roomy on the water. Quiet despite being so close to everything. The room was basic but nice. The sink was a little slow. AC was cold. The staff was very friendly. Limited space across the street for golf carts.

Great place to stay and awesome staff!

Reviewed By Grace S

We stayed at the SunBreeze for 7 nights and we are planning our next trip back soon! There is another sister hotel by the same name literally across the street from the airport. We stayed at the one further down the beach and centrally located to everything! The rooms are big and spacious with a stocked kitchen if you want to cook or have snacks, full size refrigerator to keep your drinks and food cold! The AC worked great especially when coming in from fun in the sun. The shower had one of those rain shower head so it wasn't intense but it was good enough for bathing, they had plenty of hot water too. Housekeeping came every third day and if needed anything before then you just went up to front desk and requested it and they were spot on about accomadating your requests. The food was decent, wasnt the best but it was good. This place is centrally located to everything there, you are walking distance to restaurant, bars, grocery stores and the marina! Now the staff, man they really treat you like family!! Great big shout our to Ramon, Sarah, Mario and Vanessa. Thank you all for making mami & papi's stay truly magical. We will most def be going back this year!
