This was our second time here and many more to come. It is remote, safe, and beautiful. If you are looking for a quiet family or romantic vacation, Orchid Bay is the place to go. It is remote so if you are looking for things to do, it will take a while to go anywhere. The on site restaurant and bar have great food and drinks for a reasonable price. In my opinion, the beach area is the best in Belize. The sand is very soft and because it is the bay, the water is very calm. You can walk out a couple hundred yards and the water would still be at your midsection. Great and safe for young children. This is a gated area so there is a guard at the entrance for security. There are about 12 permanent residents that live here. People go there from the surrounding bay in their private little boats and congregate to eat and talk. We had the beach to ourselves all 3 days we were there.
