it's really nice inside. we had an upstairs unit w/ a loft next to the beach front (still had an ocean view).

I rode the provided bicycle into town during the day. I need to slim down anyway. we took taxis or walked in the evenings.

fast4d, great pics! The rooms at Xanadu look very nice. The pool area is really pretty. Seems like you did a variety of things and really enjoyed yourselves. Thank you for sharing. mobunny

Thanks for the article. Have been looking @ Belize for sometime as a vacation destination. How about taking kids? good/bad idea? Went to Cozumel last winter loved it would like to try some diving in Belize. Ramons looks like a good place to stay. Can a person dive from the beach? Any places there where u can?

We don't have kids, but San Pedro seems like a kid friendly place with lots for them to do. With regards to diving right off the beach I don't believe there are any places you can do that. Since I don't dive, I am guessing but, I believe Hol Chan is the closest place with a drop off?? One of you divers out there correct me if I am wrong. Ramon's is a lovely place to stay. We really enjoyed our last two vacations there. However, since we are going for two weeks next trip we opted for a condo with kitchen right next door at the Palms. mobunny

No shore diving.
