"Laid-back Ambergris Cay is just a 20-minute flight from gritty Belize City, but a world apart."

" From a distance, the colourful crop of sea-facing palapas at Matachica hotel in Belize resembles a tray of inviting tropical drinks topped with tiny umbrellas."

Lounge by the freshwater infinity pool or make your way to the cool sanctuary that is the Jade Spa. You’ll be sure to find your favourite sunny nook or palm-tree shaded hideout (several, even) ….

"Thatch casitas in shades of mango, banana, and blueberry offset by brilliant white sand give this deluxe beachfront resort a Gauguin-like quality."

"The 61-room Caribbean Villas Hotel is a two-and-a-half pearl waterfront property with a rustic tropical vibe, just a 15-minute beach walk from central San Pedro."

"It may not be as modern as some of the island's newer resorts, but Caribbean Villas, with its gardens, pleasant quiet beachfront, and fun two-story waterslide, is an affordable and low-key alternative to the glitzier developments."

Choose from remodeled suites brightened with Guatemalan fabrics, or the cheaper standard rooms.

Top Choice
"Boasting one of the widest stretches of beach south of town and two pools, this well-run resort is good value especially for families, who'll love the giant slide into the sea."
