This is a beautiful location; the cottage (casita) was well-equipped and comfortable. The long stretch of beach was pleasant to walk on; the dock is pleasant to sit on. There is a restaurant within easy walking distance at the resort to the south, and some very small but functional stores a mile or so up the road to the north- follow the power lines and they will eventually appear on your left. Be aware of your mileage and range if traveling by golf cart – it seems the only gas is available downtown.
We were there in April and the sargassum seaweed was on the beaches at varying levels. It does give off a sulfur odor (though there’s usually some breeze, which helps). Ambergris Caye is the unfortunate recipient of some floating plastic trash from the Caribbean – not large amounts but don’t be shocked to see some plastic on the western beaches.
One of the best features was the host. George and his staff were extremely helpful and appear to genuinely want their guests to have a good stay. They arranged for our COVID tests to take place right at the casita before we flew back to the U.S. When we were set to depart for the airport at 5:30 a.m. our the golf cart decided this was a good time to stop running correctly. Jr. cheerfully got up, fiddled with it, and got us on our way. The place is extremely peaceful, and we have never had such nice hosts anywhere.
