This is a fantastic location – in the heart of downtown yet right on the beach. There is a good restaurant mere steps away. It is a busy beach area with boating activity but still possible to enjoy the water right out the front door. The unit is quieter than one might expect for its downtown location.
We went on the evening food tour that’s available – at first I questioned if it was necessary, but the enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides and opportunity to meet other travelers made it more than worthwhile.
Some of the guidebooks rave about excursions to locations such as the Truck Stop (underwhelming) and eateries at Secret Beach (where people swarm over arriving guests and expect tips for pointing out obvious parking spots).
If you want to explore the downtown area this is a great location to do it from. San Pedro is a small town, but densely enough packed that you might want to balance your Ambergris Caye visit with a more remote location for a few days.
