Nope, sorry Sigmond... while a person may ask a question regarding one or two places, you would be amazed at the extra places that are listed as well of which the original poster enjoys because they never thought of the extra places.

Limiting knowledge can be stiffling... expanding ones choices can only enlighten.

mustang6,

Please check out the reviews that banana beach got under About Ambergris Caye- :Topic -Banana beach resort?- That will tell the tail, lets not get side tracked here, some of us may get way too much sun. So ignore any competitive vibes. we just want to help visits as enjoyable as possible, right? from a tourists perspective.

I also agree with Lan's review of Ramon's. I however, didn't think Ramon's was pricey for what we got, especially when I checked out prices in St. John - beachfront rooms over $400.00 a night and your not 25 feet from the water! BB gets so much airtime on this board I just wanted to let people know that Ramon's has alot to offer if that is the type of place you are looking for. I should add that there are many many nice places to stay on AC and you''l be sure to find on that suits your needs. mobunny

Victoria House is spectacular in comparison to most any of the many places I have toured and/or stayed in San Pedro/AC. There is a wide variety of accommodation types. I thought the loveliest were the room suites in the house at the south end of the property. That house has access to the whole grounds and the main pool (which is one of the nicer pools on the island), but it has it's own private pool too. The beach is lovely and kept quite clean. The grounds are very pretty and reminiscent of older BVI properties. It is quite expensive but things are all beautifully appointed, even in the smaller rooms.

Ramon's is more tropical in flavor, ala Gilligan's Island. It has lovely flowers and bushes all about. A very nice pool deck surrounding a small pool with an interesting shape. The beach is nice but well trafficked. It has one of the best docks, if not the best dock, of any of the resorts. If you chose Ramon's be sure to be guaranteed an ocean view room in the front of the complex. You will likely be unhappy if you find yourself in one of the units further back. I have not been in all of the rooms, but of the ones I have seen, they aren't all that for what you pay. INMSHO, you are paying for the ambiance and location.

I particularly like the location of Ramon's but given my druthers, I'd stay at Victoria House.

While Banana Beach is a nice property, I don't put it in the same category as Victoria House. If you do decide to look at Banana Beach as an alternate option, ensure that you will get one of the front suites with an ocean view.

Please listen to the tourists and gringos who dont live there and rather vacation there. Some people just want credit for sending us tourists to there resort since they know owners well. Read Read Read other posts which tell all about real time experiences that are recent, please. Its nice to be near by your place of stay for all sorts of reasons. Changing batteries in camera, charging cameras, changing cloths grabbing more cashola etc. Less taxi rides and all that stuff. If you want seclusion, well head north. you want to meet the islanders and get to know the area real good, wonder about when you feel like it, stay in town, right on the south side is by far the best location, all business matters aside.

I live in Corozal Town in Northern Belize, and when we need a break from running our resort we go to San Pedro and stay at Ramon's. We stay in the seaview or gardenview rooms in the back. We think they are great, enough room, cold a/c, clean. The grounds at Ramons are spectacular. A waterfront jungle, kind of like a lost paradice. I love the pools shape. Great bar too. I love thatch roofs as mobunny said "very exotic"
Just my opinion. Have fun.

i stayed at VH....pimp.....

pool was great, rooms were nice, didnt eat there, bar was quiet, lizards were cool, thatched roof cabanas were not....we switched rooms....then everything was okay...however, i am a huge fan of the air conditioner...sitting under one right now......

i did not think it was far to town at all...we enjoyed the walk up the beach, another way to build up an appetite...

we just took the carts that were at the hotel....same carts, same price....

fun bar games...wished i would have bought one, now...

I recommend the Hideaway Hotel.

Watch it, Bill. I got in trouble for suggesting HideAWay...... Guess who reported me.... our good friend Pedro. He did not like me then, now he loves me!
