Caribbean Villas
Caribbean Villas is situated on Ambergris Caye in a quiet, forested area within walking distance of the many restaurants, shops and tour agencies.
Accommodation consists of ten one-bedroom suites with a kitchen, dining/living area, private bathroom, covered veranda and an ocean view. All rooms have air-conditioning, ceiling fans and ocean views. You may either tour the island by bike, compliments of Caribbean Villas, relax in one of the hot tubs or just lie in the hammock at the end of the pontoon. This is intentionally a very quiet, low-key accommodation option. The lush gardens are great for bird-watching (over 250 species have been spotted) and there is a wooden viewing tower offering wonderful views along the coast.
