|
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
Entry and Exit Requirements
Entering: Every island in the Caribbean has its own entry requirements. Most countries allow you to visit for up to two or three months if you show proof of U.S. citizenship and a return or onward ticket. Some countries, however, require that you have a valid passport. If you are arriving from an area infected with yellow fever, many Caribbean countries require you to have a certificate of vaccination against yellow fever. Some countries have an airport departure tax of up to $25. For authoritative information on a country's entry and exit requirements and on its customs and currency regulations, contact its embassy, consulate, or tourist office in the United States.
Returning - Caution! Make certain that you can return to the United States with the proof of citizenship that you take with you. Although some Caribbean countries may allow you to enter with only a birth certificate, U.S. Immigration requires that you document both your U.S. citizenship and identity when you reenter the United States.
The best document to prove your U.S. citizenship is a valid U.S. passport. Other documents of U.S. citizenship include an expired U.S. passport, a certified copy of your birth certificate, a Certificate of Naturalization , a Certificate of Citizenship , or a Report of Birth Abroad of a U.S. Citizen.
To prove your identity, either a valid driver's license or a government identification card that includes a photo or a physical description is acceptable.
If you lose or have your U.S. passport stolen while overseas, report it immediately to the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. A lost or stolen birth certificate or driver's license cannot be replaced outside the United States. There are several countries, most notably Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, and Jamaica, where airlines have consistently refused to board American citizens with insufficient proof of U.S. citizenship. The resulting delays can be inconvenient as well as expensive.
