Barrier Reef and Coral Cays
Banyan Bay
The newly renovated Banyan Bay offers accommodation on Ambergris Caye in spacious, fully equipped two- to three-bedroom self-catering villas, perfect for families. The resort has a large swimming pool (including children’s pool) and is located approximately 20 minutes’ walk from San Pedro Town right by the Carribbean Sea. There is a restaurant at the water’s edge and the lodge can even arrange babysitting.
The coconut palm-covered island of Ambergris Caye is located on the Belize Barrier Reef, famous for great Caribbean diving and snorkelling. Offshore where the reef meets the open ocean there are excellent wall dives and a mix of reef and pelagic species. Closer is Hol Chan Marine Reserve and leeward is a large shallow lagoon where manatees can be found. The small town of San Pedro has a lively, friendly atmosphere and a variety of good restaurants serving fresh seafood, including lobster, and other local dishes.

There are many shops and supermarkets in Sam Pedro Town: why not make use of your fully equipped kitchen at times and save on the cost of eating out. Hire a golf buggy to get around.
