I am coming to ambergris in late May w/out hotel reservations. I read that there is a free airport phone in the belize Int'l airport where you can call the hotels. Is this fact or fiction??? Thanks!

To be totally honest, I've never seen a free phone... of course I wasn't looking for one either.

However, arriving late May, you shouldn't have a problem getting a room... it's basically the beginning of the low season.

Having said that, what I suggest is to look on this board at the choices of resorts and hotels, etc... get an idea of what you want, how much, etc. You can always email them before arriving to make sure they have rooms.

They have talked about putting in the phone line that goes directly to the hotels, but the cost is really high for the hotels. The last time I heard, only 2 properties had signed on, both on the mainland.

It wasn't there a couple of weeks ago.
