Grand Caribe Belize  

On Ambergris Caye in San Pedro, Belize — a beachfront hotel with condo-style lodging right by the ocean. Steps from the Belize Barrier Reef and minutes from San Pedro Central Park, Boca del Rio, GoFish Belize and Mexico Rocks. San Pedro (John Greif II) airport is a short trip away.

Dozens of individually decorated guestrooms and condo suites with memory-foam beds. Some rooms have full kitchens or microwaves, and many open to private furnished balconies or patios. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, cable and complimentary wired and wireless internet — island-ready decor with relaxed coastal vibes.

Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus a hair salon. Several outdoor pools and 2 hot tubs, a fitness center, on-site dive club and a tour desk. Concierge and wedding services, picnic area and poolside bar make for easy, sea-breeze mornings and reef-day departures.

Conference center (about 1,300 sq ft) for meetings and events, luggage storage, ATM and safe-deposit services. Scheduled airport and ferry shuttles are available.

Two on-site restaurants — including Rain & Rooftop Terrace — plus a poolside bar and two lounges. Room service is offered during limited hours. Full breakfast is available daily (morning service noted on property; fees may apply).
