Thanks for the video. My first trip was with my father (who owned, with partners, the dive shop at Ramons Reef Resort in the early 80's). I loved seeing the ring toss game, as I remember that Ramon's had the same (way back when) and Ramon would laughingly say, "If I play one of my staff members and lose, I know they haven't been working...they've been playing this game." RIP Ramon, and we'll see you again soon "La Isla Bonita"! (Lafayette, LA)

We were there on Family Feud Night. GREAT fun!! Such a great place! And grab a coffee and breakfast bagel at Marbuck's Coffee House. Fresh, delicious, delightful.

Great video, we just got back from San Pedro and stayed at Ramon's Dive Village, it was great but the dinner menu wasn't. We loved going snorkeling, we use Belizecatamaran from the Palapa dock. The did a full day trip which hit Hol Chan & Shark Alley, then went to The Split at Caye Caulker for 40 mins. The Truck stop was a great place to eat, we hit that twice and hit Blue Bayou as well. 2 weeks before we got there, a US tourist was shot & killed at Jaguars. Caught in the crossfire betwen 2 gangs, heavy police activity when we went down there. My sons (21 & 19) went there and even the locals told him it wasn't a smart move. Our biggest take away was how nice the residents are, my 2 boys hung out with 2 workers from Ramon's. My wife would recommend a food tour, we met a local at the San Pedro sign and she brought us to 5 local restaurants to try Belize food. My kids and wife liked it a lot, I was sick and a picky eater, but it was just nice talking to the people there.

Thank you for the recommendations in the comments. Belize is so beautiful!!!! Sounds like you had an incredible vacation. We also went to San Ignacio, really quite different than Ambergris we did some tubing through crystal caves and swam through the ATM cave- super incredible. If you head back to Belize check out those as well. We have a couple of videos that we put out on those trips. Thanks again for watching we really appreciate it!

Do you have to book the flight to the island prior? Or do they take you right away from the airport without booking in advance? Great video! Thanks for sharing!

@scottsdaletravelchick Жыл бұрын

I would definitely recommend booking ahead of time because the plane holds such a small amount of passengers. Depending on the season the flight could get booked up quickly. Thanks for watching the video, hope you have an amazing time!!!! We also went to San Ignacio, we have a dedicated video to that as well. Adventures everywhere in Belize : )

@romanray3847 Жыл бұрын

If you still haven't gone, google Maya Air or Tropic Air and search flights from Belize International to San Pedro, those are the two main airlines, round trip flight should cost 85-90USD, the flight is about 15 minutes long. It is definitely separate from your international flight and should be booked in advance. You can also take a ferry from the airport but its more of a headache, have to get a ride to the ferry terminal and the ferry ride is about two hours (and you're saving only 20-40$).

Hi Kristine. Thanks for watching. Be sure to check out our other videos for the mainland side of Belize - San Ignacio, river caving, and Xunantunich. I doubt there is much beach volleyball on Ambergris as there really aren’t many beaches and they are quite small. I would guess your best bet might be out in the Secret Beach area.

Which made me feel cold all the time and when the sun did come out for five mins (literally) it jys burned ur skin off u cdnt sit in it if u had any sense! I found tge people very short mexican like high pitched unfriendly ppl. The food wasnt great n i just did not like the place or the ppl. The golf carts were all old n the roads so bad ud fly out of the cart. It seemed like a load of dusty raggedy hippy happy go luckiers if u ask me. Wasnt for me at all.

I just returned from Ambergris Caye. I was pretty disappointed. It's nothing like how social media perceives it to be. The awful smell around the island is so offputting (not sure if it's the Sargassum) but it smells like horrible sewer/sulfur. Then the restaurant service is nothing like other places south of the border like Mexico where you are greeted with a smile and the service staff are grateful you are there patronizing their business. Nobody seems to smile much in Belize ( I was in San Ignacio, Caye Caulker, Ambergris Caye). I was staying North of San Pedro and I will say I as a male did not feel safe walking alone as it becomes less populated and not very safe feeling. Lastly, I will say that if one goes to Ambergris Caye they are in for a rude awakening as it is very shantytown-like in many places and not very many white sand beaches. Lots of pollution plastic waste around the island. Sad that the locals don't take pride in their island.

@scottsdaletravelchick 10 ай бұрын

This time of year might be the sargassum coming in- we were recently in Tulum & Cancun area they are having a huge problem with that as well. And yes super stinky especially if it just sits on the beaches. We dedicated a video just recently to that exact issue.

@faustjoe 6 ай бұрын

Yeah the place (it's not an island) does smell but at no time did I feel threatened. In fact getting robbed was the last thing on my mind. Not sure what he is talking about unfriendly people, I was in Belize City, Caye Caulker and San Pedro Ave generally everyone was nice and friendly. Their economy depends on tourism

Noisy as hell! Golf carts everywhere. Only one beach on the whole island, and that one is located 45 minutes(with a golf cart) away from down town San Pedro. Not an island you go to if you like to relax on the beach. Because there are no beaches... The whole east coast is covered with sargasso weed.

ambergris is an aweful place, cars and golf carts trying to kill you everywhere. its small dirty and noisy. guys pee in the street and its all just kind of disgusting. when you cross the bridge look left and see one of the worst slums anywhere. if you go north of town, past the bridge, its not so bad but you can get beautiful beaches lots of places.
