Fodor's Expert Review St. George's Caye Resort

9 miles (15 km) from Belize City, St. George's Caye, Belize District, Belize Fodor's Choice

In colonial days St. George's Caye was a British favorite for its proximity to Belize City; today visitors can enjoy the stunning adult-only resort as a rustic venue for adventure. Most rooms are thatch-roofed and spotlight the beauty of Belize's tropical hardwoods; this makes St. George's an atmospheric old-style lodge rich in Belizean spirit. Guests adore the overwater cabanas, on the island's lee side, but the the beachfront cabanas are also lovely and get cooling breezes. Dining is family style and social, but romantic dinners on the dock can also be arranged. The resort offers limited spa services in a frill-free room, and a nice pool if you want a break from the sea. Take advantage of the complimentary windsurfing boards and instruction, along with paddle boarding, snorkeling, and other activities you can do right off the caye. St. George's draws not only experienced divers, but guests eager to leave their comfort zone---or find a new one.
