Recommended Hotels and Resorts: San Pedro (Ambergris Caye)

Some of the resorts and hotels on Ambergris Caye that we recommend based on the quality of their services, facilities and amenities, within their specific rate class, include:

Mata Chica, Ambergris Caye's stylish, color-saturated and hippest resort spot, where the beautiful people meet to eat and greet.

Saturated color, vibrancy and taste dominate both the resort and Mambo's, the house restaurant, with its eclectic and dramatic menu and interior design.

Amenities at this upscale Belize beach resort include a 142-foot catamaran, splash pool, swimming off the pier, air conditioning, attentive service and beachside mini-spa (featuring a special sea salt and sea clay body mask massage).

And, make sure to try the jerk seared sea scallops in plaintain guacamole over a citrus beurre-blanc sauce at Mambo's.  Luxury.  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information about Mata Chica.
