|
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
Preparation for Your Trip
Start Early. If a passport is required for you to enter the country where you are planning to travel, apply for it as soon as possible.
Learn about the countries you plan to visit. Before departing, read up on the culture and people for the places you will travel.
As you travel, keep abreast of local news coverage. If you are in an area experiencing civil unrest or a natural disaster, if you will be staying more than two weeks in an area, or if you are going to a place where communications are poor, you are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Registration takes only a few moments, and it may be invaluable in case of an emergency. Remember to leave a detailed itinerary and the numbers of your passport or other citizenship documents with a friend or relative in the United States.
For up-to-date travel information on any country in the world that you plan to visit, obtain the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet. This covers topics such as entry regulations, the crime and security situation, drug penalties, and location of the nearest U.S. embassy, consulate or consular agency.
The Department also issues Travel Warnings and Public Announcements. A Travel Warning advises travelers not to go to a country because of dangerous conditions and/or U.S. government's ability to assist a U.S. citizen in distress there is severely limited. A Public Announcement is issued as a means to disseminate information quickly about relatively short-term and/or trans-national conditions which would pose significant risks to the security of American travelers.
