Calabash Cay Pet-friendly Vacations

We recently stayed at X’tan Ha and overall had a pleasant experience. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Their hospitality was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. The rooms were clean, although they are somewhat dated and could use some updating. We also had a few visits from ants and termites in our room during our stay. The food was mediocre—not bad, but not particularly memorable. However, if you’re looking for peace, quiet, seclusion, and beautiful beach views, X’tan Ha delivers. The property offers a relaxing atmosphere away from the crowds. One thing to keep in mind is that it’s about a 40-minute bumpy golf cart ride to most restaurants, shops, and activities in town. For some travelers, the remote location will be a major plus; for others, it may be less convenient. Overall, if your priority is tranquility, beachfront scenery, and friendly service, X’tan Ha is worth considering.

We had the best time here. The hosts, Shanna and Kenny were great, super responsive and very helpful with planning things to do. Ernesto, one of the drivers was also fantastic and super helpful. The locals and neighbors around the house were very friendly. A grocery store was located near by and we were able to get most of what we needed to make our meals. Dee has a small bar next door and a small shop where you can get some basics. Dee was so friendly. A Howler Monkey troop came right onto the property one of the days and they were fun to watch. Another Howler Monkey troop spends most of its time across the street at Lloyd’s. Lloyd was happy to allow us on his property to check them out. The accommodations were great. There was a washer and dryer on site that worked well. We did not want to leave and we will definitely be back!

Everything about this property was amazing. The room the staff and the vibe was top notch. Food was incredible. So safe and just beautiful and so safe. We will be coming back.

vert nice, clean place to stay with friendly and professional crew

I enjoyed the pool, the butterflies and the nature trails.

My wife and I give The Terrace Ambassador a 10/10! Stay date: 23 April-03 May 2026 First, Deborah the owner and her husband were amazing! My wife and I went to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and Deborah made it an experience we won’t forget. We recommend staying at this bed and breakfast and would definitely come back again. Deborah skillfully managed coordinating trips for us from snorkeling the reefs, visiting Mayan ruins, cave tubing and zip lining, and for me, was able to schedule a scuba diving trip to the Great Blue Hole! She knew who to call to get us the best deals, keep us safe with trusted tour guides, and recommend the best places to go to visit to have a more authentic experience in Belize. Breakfast was served fresh and promptly each morning and we had the opportunity to sample traditional Belizean breakfasts. Location is an 8 minute walk to the major water taxis and a scuba diving shop. It’s also close to a major super market (Brodie’s) and downtown shopping. The area was safe as well and we had no issues walking around after dark at a reasonable hour. Other key amenities include: -excellent air conditioning -hot running water -washing machine and dryer (for those on an extended stay) -water coolers -friendly staff -good internet and WiFi (I was able to get work done as needed while on holiday) Again, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend The Ambassador Terrace to anyone traveling to Belize.

Pretty easy stay to get around the city.

The property was amazing! Enjoyed the cottage, it was spacious for 1-2 people. Great for solo traveling, groups, etc. don’t think twice. Just book. You’ll have a blast!

The staff was amazing and the room was beautiful it was exactly what we were looking for to spend my birthday. Laura, Julia and Sheria(I may have spelled her name wrong) were amazing no matter what time of the day or night they were there willing to help. A special thank you to Avi, our driver, he had a great sense of humor, he made our time fun on every drive, he was kind and knew all the great places to tour and where to eat. We will be back to visit Belize City because of them, great hospitality. You will love it here!!!!

Eiden was very nice and helpful...activity director Karen was awsome and very helpful . making sure all our activities were set up. due to mother nature the beach was not available but there were other beaches near by. karen booked us a tour to check out the Mayan ruins and cave tubing with lunch included. we had an awsome time.....Eddy and Mike {tour guides} were really cool and made sure everyone was comfortable and was having a great time ,they also were very knowledgeable

Don’t give it another thought- book your stay at The Banks! I promise you won’t regret it! Beautiful property with no detail spared- Our family of four stayed at The Banks at the end of May for 3 nights and we wished we could have extended our stay. We stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom villa on the river, the rooms were beautiful and spacious, very clean and we loved the outdoor showers. We also had our own plunge pool that was definitely larger than your average plunge pool. Humo, the restaurant onsite was delicious and had several options to choose from. We also visited the Sleeping Giant for dinner one evening and had wonderful pizza at Donatos. At The Banks we enjoyed kayaking down the Sibun River, riding bikes, and hiking. We rented a car from the BZE airport which I would highly recommend- this made it easy and convenient to take days trips- we visited St. Herman’s cave and did their tubing tour, the Blue Hole national park (amazing), Armenia (a local village nearby, we ate lunch at Hibiscus), and drove to the Mayan ruins- Xunantunich. Special thanks to Gianni- our amazing bartender-he went above and beyond, Jessica the manager- she was so sweet and always asked about our day, and Jair one of our servers. 10 out of 10 recommend The Banks- you will love it!
