Is there nightlife in Ambergris Caye?

Yes, there's night life in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. Live music some place every night, usually several places. Everything from country western to Punta rock.

There are a couple of late night places, Jaguars and Big Daddy's, but I'm never out late enough to even see them open.

As for hotels, what kind of place are you looking for? Resort, condo, budget? All sorts of options. With eight of you, you could look into renting a house.

Thanks JeanH! Probably all sorts of options...I would love renting a house, are there villas/houses within walking distance (or golf cart ride to town? And, any resorts, condos or budget places (but not too budget - the whole area actually seems kind of inexpensive) would be great. And both close proximity to beaches and town is ideal. Thanks again!

We enjoyed Banyan Bay (2 bedroom 2 bath condo). As for night life, plenty to do but don't go expecting Cancun....a good thing in my not so humble opinion

If you want easy access to town, don't stay very far north of the bridge. The 'road' up there is bad, not really a road at all. You'd need to take water taxis back and forth, which gets to be a hassle with a group, not everyone wants to go to the same place at the same time.

I like Banyan Bay too. Very nice condos, lovely stretch of beach. About 1 1/2 miles south of town. Easy walk during the day, inexpensive cab ride at night.

Cheaper would be Banana Beach, I think they may have four bedroom units. Not much further down the beach than Banyan Bay. Good restaurant there.

Close to town, I'd recommend the Palms, large one and two bedroom condos, next door to Ramon's, which has a lovely stretch of beach.

We used to stay at Belizean Reef when we visited, they're next door to the Palms, also nice condos, but no pool.
