Traveling to a new destination and discovering the quirks and hidden treasures is part of the fun. But it’s also nice to have a basic lay of the land and take some of the guesswork out of things. Getting around Belize is easy in part that the official language is English, and locals and ex-pats alike are friendly and helpful. Ambergris Caye, the largest of Belize’s many islands that skirt the coastline, is 26 miles long and about a mile wide.

La Isla Bonita, that is, Ambergris Caye, has a hidden, slower pace of life the farther north you go from all the hustle and bustle of San Pedro Town. Island life really shines “Up North,” as the locals call it. Our Sandy Point Resorts collection of award-winning resorts are all found North of the bridge that is the entrance to San Pedro Town on the island. Of our resorts, X’tan Ha Resort is located further than most and enjoys that island tranquillity that you picture when planning a Belize vacation. X’tan Ha Resort is located at 7.2 Miles North. While part of the attraction is a peaceful and private setting, there is plenty to do in this area without giving up the ambiance.
