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

Mr & Mrs Smith

" 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." Full review
