A Short Stay on Ambergris Cay

by Bwana_Brown - last update: Mar 22, 2006

Beachfront Entrance to our Hotel del Rio
Ambergris Cay was the second stage of the 3-week vacation trip my wife and I planned and took through various stops in Belize, with a short stay of only two nights in San Pedro (see my 'General' tip for a map of it's location). We had already spent a few nights on the nearby smaller and more laid-back 'Caye Caulker' a few miles to the south, but decided that it just would not be right to miss going to Ambergris when we were this close!

It turned out to be an interesting and relaxing experience as we simply enjoyed exploring around what seemed to be a bustling San Pedro. We had already done some snorkeling on Caulker and had lots of other things lined up for the rest of the trip, so this was a nice 'time out' before we headed off to the mainland on the next stage of our trip - in the area of the Capital city of 'Belmopan'.

Pros:"Lot's of water activities and good restaurants"
Cons:"It seemed quite 'busy' after quiet Caye Caulker"
In A Nutshell:"If you are planning to go to Caulker, go to Ambergris first!"

 Nice to read about your experience in San Pedro after having been there myself & funny to see I'm not the only one who felt overwhelmed after spending time in quiet and laidback Caye Caulker!

 The name interests me - any signs of whales there? It sound a good place for a vacation away from a Canadian winter! leyle

 Relaxing on the beach - this is something we all need from time to time. Rum drinks for heat exhaustion? - have never done it but I'm going to try. Another surprise - you don't own a mobile - I had to buy one last year but use it only for emergencies.

 Relaxing in a hammock just watching the beach activities & reading sounds fine to me in an exotic location :) I can just imagine the silent traffic hazzards around here!!
