|
More Info:
On the exotic island paradise of Ambergris Caye, located near the San Pedro River, is Hotel del Rio. Hotel Del Rio is unique because of its authentic thatched roof cabanas much like the primitive structures traditionally used in Belize. These beachfront accomodations allows quests to enjoy the unspoiled and untouched beauties of its foliage. A half a mile away lies the largest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere, the second largest in the world. The corral formation, home to a bountiful array of tropical sea life, is a diver's or a snorkeler's dream come true.
Cabaña Chica - Chica is our most popular unit. It is a quaint authentic bungalow with a thatched roof. Its wrap around porch offers an ocean view on one side and faces the center of the hotel, a common meeting place for the social gatherings of guests, on the other. The wooden slat windows are opened easily for a cooling ocean breeze. These, along with a ceiling fan make the room quite cool after a day in the sun. Cabana Chica includes a double bed and a twin, a hot water shower and a refrigerator.
Cabaña Grande - This thatched roof bungalow is popular with groups and with families. It offers a complete kitchen, two double beds and a twin bed. Its open suite like layout makes Grande very roomy and creates a comfortable place for people to join together at the end of their day and trade stories of their activities or excursions. Grande has several windows, which can be opened for a lovely ocean view or to create a breeze. The ceiling fan adds to the cooling effect of this ocean air.
Casa Blanca - In each room of this Spanish style complex, guests enjoy air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a private hot water bath, and a refrigerator. These rooms each have a touch of Belizean artwork. The outside displays a large mural of a jungle/rainforest scene painted by a well-known local artist. With Casa Blanca comes the choice of a double bed or two twin beds. Each of the rooms face the same palm covered oceanfront that has inspired much of the art within.
Our beach at Hotel del Rio
Guesthouse - These more modest accommodations still include a ceiling fan, hot water shower and ocean view. There is a balcony that overlooks the hotel and faces the ocean. As the highest spot at the hotel it is a lovely place to view the brilliant sunrises and sunsets. Guesthouse rooms contain either one double bed or two twin beds.
Dream House - The Dream House is the largest of the thatched roof cabanas and comes with all the amneties. It will sleep five comfortably and comes with a full kitchen, full bathroom, two double beds, one single bed, private front deck, and plenty of windows for a nice ocean breeze and view.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Cuts and Scrapes
Be sure to pack an effective topical antibiotic cream. The smallest scratch or insect bite can quickly become infected. Try "Bactriban" or "Polysporin". To prevent ringworm, the most effective product is "Nizoral" - sold over the counter as an anti-dandruff shampoo.
