Belizean Shores Resort

We booked at Belizean shores because you can kayak to the reef to snorkel. That was definitely the case; it took 5-10 minutes to get out there using kayaks provided by the resort's outfitting partner, Tuff E Nuff. There are several buoys to tie off at, and from there you can see lots of cool stuff (rays, snapper, jacks, barracudas, spiny lobsters, angel fish, lion fish, and much more). The guys at Tuff E Nuff can give you guidance of where to go and what to do. The resort is a little out of the way, which was nice. You need to be this far north to be able to access the reef by kayak. It is about a 20-25 minute golf cart drive from San Pedro town. We went into town most days for diving, and it was fine. There are restaurants and a well-equipped super market (Palm Supermarket) nearby, as well as some souvenir shops and a cafe. We ate at Big Taste 2, right across the street, and it was nice. We did have one meal at the poolside bar, but mostly went to nearby places that offered similar food at a lower price. We booked a second floor ocean view suite, which was extremely spacious with a small kitchen and a lofted second bedroom for the kids. The porch was nice and a great place to relax overlooking the ocean. The resort does not have a beach per se but we swam off the dock and the water was very nice. You can also take a short walk to the resort next door (Coco beach) and use their beach. The pool is amazing. It is really large with a hot tub and bar in the middle. The pool is clean and warm and our kids had a great time there every day after diving, snorkeling or fishing. Our fishing guide was able to pick us up there no problem, which was very convenient.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Belizean Shores Resort. Our accommodation was very roomy. Bed was comfy and the kitchen was very well equipped. We stayed in 3C which was in a great location. Very close to the gorgeous pool, view of the beautiful dock, beach and ocean! All staff were very hard working and wanted to be certain you were well looked after. We had a small issue with the toilet and within minutes it was looked after. Caren Oh at the concierge desk was top notch with assisting us in booking excursions and a golf cart. A cart is needed when staying at this resort as it is out of town. However, it is very quiet, which we enjoyed. There are some great restaurants a short walk up the beach. We definitely recommend to stay here when visiting Ambergris Caye.

We stayed here at a friend's recommendation and really enjoyed our visit. We had a 1 bedroom apartment with a small kitchen which was perfect for our family of 3. We loved the pool area and the staff who communicated really well over Whatsapp. You could swim off the dock to a trampoline in the water and rent kayaks for free (which we haven't tried). Having the dock there was useful as we got picked up for one of our tours right off the dock. We were visiting early July and the whole coast was covered in a ton of seaweed, so it was smelly at the time of our visit and we couldn't enjoy the beach much. The hotel had a golf cart rental available, which was convenient as this is the primary way to get around. It's about 20-30 min drive back to town which we didn't mind. It was helpful to have a breakfast place, a couple of restaurants, a pharmacy, and a small grocery right there by the entrance to the hotel.

Lots of seaweed or sargassum on the beach mid July 2025. Covered the entire coast, so not just at this resort. Service was great. Very friendly.

You really wouldn’t have to leave resort property beside boat tour for fishing snorkeling or Mayan tours. Swim up pool bar- restaurant- tennis, kayaks etc all there. With that said you would be doing a dis service not to explore the island- people are friendly, tons of places for food- secret beach is a must- say hi to “Speedy” and Alex at the bar. Grab some jet skis and there is a water park as well

Staff was great loved each and every one of them. Although no restaurant on site Coco beach serves to belizean shores resort you can walk there or order room service as well. Pool was great and low keyed for families with children. Any questions ask any of them at front desk very helpful or maintenance staff great to talk to. Beautiful place and highly recommended.
