We had a great stay. The staff was incredibly accommodating. Even waited for us the night we arrived to not close the kitchen and have dinner since during the week there are minimal dining options after 8pm. Overall, great experience. Food and Spa was great too.

We loved our cabana! It was right on the ocean, authentic, clean, and had lots of room for the two of us. We loved the location, it close but not too close to the heart of the city so we had lots of things to do that were close but did not have to deal with the busy downtown. The only things we did not love were the beds (we found it hard) and the cost of the drinks and food at the resort. It was more expensive so we left all the time to eat and drink. One thing to be aware of in general is that no restaurants or coffee shops open unitl 8am so if you are an early riser ensure you have snacks and coffee in your room!

Our air conditioner leaked for two days before we realized because it was going into my travel purse so we didn’t hear it. They fixed that. I also told them that our tv didn’t work because it needed an antenna cable. I was told that our room didn’t have one. Normally when we vacation we don’t watch tv but when it rained for two days we needed it. My husband lost a room key on the dock. I told the office right away. They said it was ok. One employee can ruin the whole trip. Fortunately for us it was the last morning. He charged me $25 for the room key and never compensated for the ruined bag and no tv. I asked for a manager and he said first he wasn’t there. Then by the time I got done talking and asked when the manager will be there. He told me they didn’t have one. I just paid it and learned to never go back

The pictures on Expedia and their site are VERY outdated. The resort exterior is super run down and underwhelming. You drive up and the first thing you see is the "casino" which is closed and dilapidated. We got there around 6:30 and the lobby was closed luckily a worker let us into our room. 1/2 the resort is going through renovation which was not mentioned so the main pool would not be a place you would want to hang out. The cabana we stayed in was nice- definitely dated but served the purpose. There was 4 of us and we were given 3 towels (we got more the next day) and there was nowhere to hang anything. We had bathroom towels all over the room. I am sure this place used to be amazing, but it has definitely lost a lot of its luster. We really didn't do anything there but sleep. There were two pools but we did not use either as they did not seem that clean. We got one cup of coffee for $5usd that was Kirkland brand but did not get any food so not sure quality there. We had stayed at the Belizan Shores last year and wished we would have moved but it was too much of a hassle. All of the staff that we talked to were great- friendly and attentive.

This was my 3rd stay at Captain Morgan's & definitely my most disappointing. Pre-arrival, Alex was most helpful. However, once there the attention to guests went downhill. After being delayed a day due to weather, you would think the room would be ready upon arrival, but it was not. There was construction at the main pool area which was both noisy &unnerving. While construction is unavoidable, there was no advance notice or even any acknowledgement of it. The chef did not show up one morning until almost noon (we were informed he was out partying the night before), so there was no breakfast available. The safe in the room broke & started beeping incessantly. We asked for maintenance who could not fix it. They managed to stop the beeping, but then it went off in the middle of the night at 12:45AM with no one around to help. BUT the worst & most disconcerting part was when we rented a golf cart. They stated they had none available but 5 minutes later one magically appeared & we were sent on our way. The steering was tight but hey its a golf cart not a car. Soon after, we could barely steer at all & coasted into the gas station where the attendant, Mike, had to help us maneuver in. He informed us that it was completely broken axel & the front end was not even bolted on! We very cautiously made our way back to the resort. They then tried to replace the cart for us with one that had no brakes! An hour later a safe cart was delivered. Very disappointed and won't return

The property is under construction. Noise of the machines started around 7:00 AM. Hammer drills were used on the side of the building all day long. The construction materials and debris were stored just outside our door. The staff while friendly, were only able to give us two bath towels and 1 roll of toilet paper for out unit. When out, we had to go ask for more at the front desk. There was never any bottled water in the lobby for us to fill our water cups. It felt like the management was trying to account for every penny.

UGGHHHHH---

We had dinner at the restaurant our first night and I know people that own condos here and I know the owner-however the Chef/Waiter at the restaurant CHARGED US DOUBLE for what should have been ONE SEAFODD PLATTER-there was not enough food for 2 people--we had 2 small lobster tail, one scoop of rice, one serving of vegetable and 8 SHRIMP. I live in Belmopan and this should have been $75 BZD not the $150 BZD were charged and I complained to the owner who said she would take care of it--however went to go check out today and NOPE THE CHARGES WERE ON OUR BILL ---honestly this kind of customer service that is not okay for anyone, especially for Belizean locals!! The picture is what I was charged $150 BZD--not worth it!!

The resort is well developed. The interior is a bit antiquated but clean and functional. The resort has organized everything needed to travelers, ie.. golf cart rental (on property) WiFi passwords, on site restaurant and bar ( great food) , swimming pool and a/c unit that works great, transportation to and from the airport (additional fees) and an on site convenience store. A major plus that we didn’t realize until the end of our trip was that the resort operated on a super quiet generator. The island during our trip encountered multiple days and hours without electricity. At the resort we never were inconvenienced due to the loss of power in the area. We respectfully turned off our lights and a/c when we went out exploring the island and can’t imagine trying to sleep without a/c. The staff is friendly and treated us like royalty. This was our first stay at the resort and would stay there again without hesitation.

Quiet But Basic Accomodations

The location is probably 4 miles from the town of San Pedro. The cabanas was nice and our location was right on the beach. You must rent a golf cart for your entire stay - to get to restaurants groceries, etc. They was a restaurant on site but the the service is miserably slow and attention to detail is nonexistent. If you like quiet accommodations and far from San Pedro this is your place. Not sure if the swimming pool is fit to swim but during our 5-day stay we only saw one guy swimming there. The room was clean but I would classify it as basic accommodations.

When we came 8 years ago there were more amenities. We were a little disappointed to see that they no longer had the swim-up bar overlooking the water and you couldn't charge anything to your room. You always have to have your money with you. Lots of construction and changes happening. They should at least warn anyone trying to book. Overall, we still enjoyed our time there. Hard to have a bad time on Ambergris Caye.
