IMPORTANT TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING: Please be advised that the rate quoted on this platform does not include a mandatory 6% resort fee and 9% government tax payable by all visitors to the country of Belize. This amount will be charged at check-in and is payable by cash or credit card. The reason the fee is not included in this platform is to save our guests a few dollars given that this platform charges their fees in addition to whatever rate is added online. Therefore, by paying the taxes at check-in, you save a few dollars that you can instead enjoy in the country. When you arrive in Belize, you have the choice of taking a short 15-minute plane ride or a scenic public ferry to get to the island of Ambergris Caye. This island is one of the two islands in Belize where golf carts are the primary method of transportation over cars. You can arrange beforehand to acquire a golf cart rental or inquire with us about a private shuttle to head directly to your suite. ## Similar properties ![Sun-loungers, beach umbrellas, beach towels, scuba diving](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97300000/97295100/97295041/6091121d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bananas On The Beach San Pedro -
