If you really want lobster, then you'd better eat it the night you arrive because the next day, it goes out of season. You can't have it no way, no how. I always recommend that people go to Jambel Jerk for lobster (right by the town square and the food vendor kiosks). You can have it prepared anyway you like. I always have it grilled and NOT "jerked". It's the best I've had anywhere. Now having told you all that, I must warn you . . .Jambel's is not like every other restaurant you have ever been to. If it is busy, it is very hard to get a seat, especially between 7 and 9. If you can be patient, you will eventually be seated and it will be well worth the wait. So belly up to the bar and have a drink. You'll be able to tell if it is a crazy night or not, by how Fitz (the owner) and Hector (the bartender/waiter) are behaving. If they look very confused and like chickens with their heads cut off, they are really busy, so patience is in your own best interest. That is once you make it known that you intend to eat there by hook or by crook. Do that early, they will ensure that you get the next available table. If they just look like they are busy and aren't paying any attention to you, then, they probably aren't all that busy.  Make sure you let them know that you intend to eat there by hook or by crook and they'll get you the next available table. I always like to eat upstairs unless it is chilly or very windy.

I eat at Papi's all the time, but I go to Jambel's for my lobster.  And Jambel's is a great place to go your first night in, whereas Papi's is up in Boca del Rio, with no view of the "downtown" activities, water or beach. So yes, I agree, do go to Papi's, just not your first night. After all, you want lobster while you are there. You MUST have it the first night. Los Coco's is a good place for a real good deal and the food is good and plentiful. It's a little sandfloor room with screened windows all about and the kitchen is through a bit of a walkway out back. If you want a cocktail or something alcoholic, stop in at the grocery store, just at the corner, and buy what you like. They'll let you drink it with your dinner.

Thanks for the great info! We actually arrive on Feb 9th and our last night on AC is Feb 14th. My guide book said that the 14th is the last day for lobster season. Is this correct? Seeing as though we may have a few more days in lobster season, any other suggestions for great lobster and seafood? ~~Thanks Seashell for the very detaield information  ~~

You are most welcome, it's my pleasure! I misunderstood you though, obviously. I thought you were arriving on Feb. 14. So yes, you are lucky cuz Feb. 15 is it. My recommendation to you is to eat lobster every day (after all it is only $17.50 US). I was eating it at least twice a week on my last 3 week holiday. But one day I had it for breakfast too (after a big night out). That actually put me off it for a few days. LOL

what would you say about Thia food?
There will be a Thai restaurant opening soon not far from Banana Beach
Hi, trina I would suggest the Orange Walk area. There is a lot to offer there. In particular there is the Lamanai Outpost lodge that offers exactly what you're looking for. You can contact me if you need more info at [email protected]
