You better Belize it!



Travel Spot: Ambergris Caye, Belize

After hearing so many great things about the Blue Hole and Ambergris Caye we made a Christmas trip down for 4 nights to do some snorkeling and sunbathing at the very secluded Blue Reef Resort.

We arrive in the BZE airport after a brief 2.5 hours of airplane cocktails and stock up on some vino, hop in line for our next (15m) flight out to Ambergris Caye on a tiny single prop plane…. And arrive in San Pedro!

The Blue Reef hotel picks us up in a boat and delivers us to the very cozy hotel. Only four buildings, one small bar and not even a hotel restaurant. All food orders are served on your choice of your indoor table, your private patio or the tables by the pool!

Highlights:
Snorkeling in Hol Chan (ie Shark Alley) with nurse sharks and sting rays.
On good weather days the water was clear bright blue.
Experiencing some local eats. Specifically burritos at Waraguma and lobster bites at Rojo.

Tips for future visitors:
Bring Off… so many mosquitos we paid $14 for one can.
You can bring in your own booze.
It’s worth bringing some workout clothes/games/etc for entertaining yourself or your ADHD bf on cloudy days.
