However, taking a vacation does not mean you will break your balanced lifestyle. Here are some simple ways to stay healthy when taking that well deserved time off on Ambergris Caye, Belize along with the basic tips to have a stress-free and balanced vacation.
It’s very important to focus on eating healthy, staying active, hydrated, unplugging, and perhaps even indulging treatments such as massages.
Eating Healthy
Try the traditional Shrimp Ceviche or Conch Ceviche dressed simply at Lily’s Treasure Chest in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.
In the tropical paradise of Ambergris Caye, there is no shortage of fresh food. There is a wide variety of fresh products available, and you can find these at fruit shops on the island. A stop at one of these shops is sure to turn up something you haven’t tried before, or you can even pick up something to later prepare at your lodging. Preparing your own meals and snacks is a great way to know what you are eating and can even be economic. There are also several eateries around town offering healthy snacks, such as vegetarian and vegan options. You can also make special requests with your hotel’s restaurant ahead of your arrival.

While on your tropical vacation some accommodations offer a gym service, but if your one does not count with this amenity there are gyms in town offering day or weekly passes. Another option is to take advantage of the complimentary activities at your resort such as kayaking, paddle boarding while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Caribbean Sea. You can also exercise in a beach cruiser bicycle as you explore the island. Another popular option is signing up for Yoga classes. Most hotels have information on this service at their concierge located at the front desk area.
Stay hydrated
To start the day right, drink a tall glass of water and depending on if the day will be a sunny one, a coat of sunscreen is recommended. Many vacationers suggest these options to start the morning right and set the mood for what is planned during the day.
