FAQs

How do we book excursions and activities during our stay?

Visit our concierge desk in the main lobby, call the front desk from your room, or speak with our front desk team. We recommend booking prior to arriving at the resort to secure preferred times and dates. Reach out to our concierge through email: [email protected]

What’s the best way to balance resort activities with off-island excursions?

Here’s what works best: plan one major excursion per day, then leave the rest of your time for resort relaxation. For a three-day stay, try one full-day adventure (like Caye Caulker), one half-day trip (Hol Chan snorkeling or fishing), and one full day just enjoying everything we have here. Trust us—you’ll want that balance.

Are snorkeling tours suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Our partner tour operators welcome guests of all experience levels. Snorkeling guides offer safety briefings and stay close to first-time snorkelers. Life jackets are provided for all water activities.

How long does the Caye Caulker catamaran trip take?

It’s a full-day excursion that includes transportation, snorkeling stops, and time exploring Caye Caulker. The relaxed pace makes it perfect for both families and couples.

What activities are available if weather doesn’t permit water excursions?

Opt for tours like Chocolate Class, visit Secret Beach, or explore Truck Stop – all accessible by golf cart. If it’s raining, guests can also relax at the resort with dining experiences and spa treatments.

Can children participate in all the activities mentioned?

Most resort activities are family-friendly, with parents using their discretion based on their child’s age and comfort level. The Caye Caulker catamaran trip welcomes all ages, while some excursions may have safety considerations for younger children.
