Belize Travel Guide

Kids are in the pool, parents are lounging in the shade reading, no one has any cares other than what fun new restaurant should they try for dinner. Ah, family vacations on Ambergris Caye. Sandy Point Resorts has a mix of four family-friendly resorts. Belize is a fantastic destination to travel with the whole family to. It is English speaking, very friendly local people and with main hubs throughout North America, travel time is about half a day, depending on your starting location.

We are in the midst of Spring Break and summer is just around the corner, no matter what your current wintry mix forecast is saying. With any luck, you’ll be on a beach with the whole family sooner rather than later. Travel with kids can at times be a mixed bag, but certainly not something to shy away from.

A visit to Belize is not complete without exploring the Belize Barrier Reef, the largest reef in this hemisphere. Belize, though small in size, has made great strides in protecting the natural wonders found here. The efforts, which range from designated and enforced protected areas, conservation awareness, and community-wide cleanups, help to keep Belize the paradise that it is. Though far from perfect, the building blocks are there and with many households dependent on jobs in tourism or conservation, Belizeans, on the whole, recognize the importance of protecting their beloved “hidden jewel” of Belize.

Belize’s Great Blue Hole attracts thousands of visitors every year. It is often found on Top 10 Dive lists, bucket lists, etc. due to its stunning formations and features. While it is an experience you won’t soon forget, there is more to diving the Blue Hole than a checkmark off your list. This is a technical dive and it is important to know the Belize Blue Hole diving requirements. Read on as we share helpful information on this popular dive site.

Belize is quite a small country, and Ambergris Caye is an even smaller island. One of the many pleasant surprises about vacationing on our rock is the sheer variety you can experience. There are many types of getaways that Belize is the right fit for, from a romantic honeymoon for two, a family spring break with little ones or a large group of friends reuniting in paradise. It is an easy day’s travel from many hubs throughout the USA, Canada and Central America, and English speaking. Just offshore lies the second largest barrier reef in the world which offers access right at your fingertips to world-class snorkeling, diving, fishing or boating. Located just a few miles from the mainland of Belize, we are the perfect launching point to see the dense rain forests or explore ancient Maya ruins. Wondering how to plan your perfect trip?
