Greetings, all! I'm glad I found your message board. We are planning a trip to AC in August and would like to stay either in town or really close so that we can walk in several times a day if we want to - to eat, shop, etc. Would like a very nice place with some character, beachfront. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

check out, Sunbreeze, Mayan Princess, Aqua Marina Suites, Blue Tang.

In addition to the above I would add Paradise Villas

Try the Banana Beach. And for fun go to "youtube" and search Ambergies Caye. There are some good vidio's you might enjoy.

I'd add the Palms and Belizean Reef as possibilities.

Danny- BB is nice but not near town. You'd have to rent a golf cart if you stay there.

It's Ambergris not Ambergies. Might make a difference in a search. :-)

Brianna's beach house, or Casa Caracol.

If you were going to suggest a kinda funky (in a cool kinda way) place, where would you suggest? We are leaning towards Lily's but are open to suggestions. We can afford the "nicer" places but seem to have more fun in smaller, funky places.

As long as their clean, comfortable and safe.

We stayed at the Seven Seas a few months back... It's fairly close to most things, northern side of "downtown" a bit funky, and very clean. The cleaning person does an excellent job.. the staff is nice and the room was adequate. It's not a 5 star, might not even be a 3 star, but it was perfect for us, we only slept there and occasionally hung out for a short while on the beach. The only really annoying thing were some dogs running around at night or early morning, but otherwise.. it was super! We had a room on ground floor, right on the beach.... number 6 or 7 I think... see how good a time it was, can't remember the room number!

Nancy, I'd also add in Corona Del Mar! Really close to town and also clean and affordable! JMO
