Planning a Cheap Family Vacation to Ambergris Caye Belize

Check out cheap family vacation packages to Ambergris Caye Belize staying at the Royal Caribbean Resort

You should check the Royal Caribbean Resort when planning a family vacation to Belize and Ambergris Caye this year.
With a rate of around $150, the Royal Caribbean Resort could be the place for a cheap family vacation and a great value holiday .

It has been built to look like an old fashioned Belize village with thatched beachfront cabanas, and a pier as you would have expected to find in days gone by. The Royal Caribbean Resort has deliberately set out to create an atmosphere of simplicity and affordability without letting standards drop, and by and large it succeeds.

The Royal Caribbean Resort sits beachfront just south of San Pedro, just far enough away from this noisy small town, so it is quiet and peaceful, yet near enough to visit, and in fact you get very good views of the town from the resort. Unlike some other Ambergris Caye hotels, the town of San Pedro, which is about a mile away, is easily accessible on foot along the beach, and for the lazy guests an easily available taxi.

The Royal Caribbean Resort covers four and a half acres with 42 air conditioned cabanas, which contain all you will need. There is a living room, cable TV, and a kitchenette adjoining. In addition to the air conditioning there are ceiling fans. The general feeling amongst guests is that the cabanas are comfortable clean, and spacious, and are excellent value for money.

Be aware the beach here isn't great, the water is very shallow and full of sea grass, but the swimming pool is nice, and one of the reasons this is worth considering when planning a family vacation to Belize. You really can't snorkel here, but it is very easy to organise trips and be picked up from the dock at the resort and taken to great reef locations where you will see all the fish you ever want.

It is important never to make your expectations too high when buying a cheap family vacation package, because you can be very disappointed. If you remember that the Royal Caribbean Resort isn't five star you will have a great time.
The food in the restaurant called the Sandbar is excellent, and if you go fishing then they will very happily cook your catch almost any way you request.

One important feature to getting great value from a cheap family vacation is to make use of the staff of your resort. How helpful that will be depends on the quality of the staff, and in the case of the Royal Caribbean Resort you need have no fears. The staff are as good and helpful as you will meet anywhere, and will go out of their way to make sure everything you need comes to pass.

If your family is the partying sort then the Royal Caribbean Resort is probably not for you, as it is a very quiet laid back resort, indeed you will find it almost deserted during the day. It's almost as if fellow guests use it as a base for either fishing, diving or taking exploration trips to see Mayan ruins, or jungle places.

You could do well to hire a golf cart to get around locally as it is cheaper to do this than continually hire taxis.

For the money the Royal Caribbean Resort is great value, so if you are planning a family vacation, and it needs to be a cheap family vacation package, having to be in Belize on Ambergris Caye, close to San Pedro, then choose the Royal Caribbean Resort.
