Ambergris Caye Pet-friendly Vacations

Pros: Beautiful property with grounds well kept; lovely pools kept clean with plenty of loungers, complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling gear and beach towels to use at the resort; over the water bar area where you could also dine, but we had to order inside the restaurant first. Concierge was helpful. Having a Seaside Villa was extra nice and it was a perfect size. Air conditioning worked great. Very quiet resort. Cons: FAR from everything else. To enjoy the island you will need to rent a golf cart, which they offer at the resort, but at a premium price. We found a golf cart rental which was delivered and picked up at the hotel for or more reasonable price. The road to town was horrible, full of pot holes which made it slow and painful. Road in closer to San Pedro were nicer, so you could avoid the extremely bumpy ride if your were nearer. The beach was full of Sea Grass so we really could not swim there, or walk on the beach at the resort. The island and the resort did not have long stretches of beach to just go for a walk either. Not a very nice restaurant, breakfast was decent, but dinner was just ok. Restaurant staff did not really seem to enjoy serving you. Breakfast doesn't start until 8am but for most excursions you have to leave before that so we missed a couple that we paid to have included. Bed was very mushy. Overall it was fine, but we would try something different if we went back to Ambergris Caye.
