The Perfect Vacation Setting

Grand Caribe Resort in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize.

Belize’s Goldilocks weather hosts an environment perfect for winter frolicking. That’s if you prefer frolicking in pools and jungles over snow of course! With a subtropical climate, Belize’s coolest weather is in the winter, and even then the country enjoys mild 60s to 70s!

 

Now imagine experiencing the cooling sea breeze as you unwind on the lounge on the balcony of your deluxe bedroom. Didn’t you know? Your accommodation can make or break your vacation. After a long day of exploring the island, all you want to do is lay in bed and unwind. With Grand Caribe’s opulent accommodations, you won’t have to worry about not relaxing. The airy bedrooms, soft beds, and inviting common areas make for the perfect relaxing winter getaway. 

On-Site Activities for All

Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, there will be activities for everyone involved. If you prefer solitude, grab a paddleboard and venture out into the Caribbean Sea. Cherish the solitude and peace that comes with bobbing along small waves. You can even turn this into an adventure for the whole family.

 

Meanwhile, the beach itself is home to an array of fun games. Start up a game of beach volleyball and compete against each other (or other guests). Itching to explore the island? Rent a golf cart and see what Ambergris Caye has to offer! Decadent restaurants, cutesy cafes, and talented artisans grace the streets of the vibrant town. You won’t ever get bored, that’s for sure.
