“Beautiful spacious room spotlessly clean, everything felt very new. Fully equipped kitchen and separate laundry room with washer and dryer. Comfortable lounge area and breakfast bar. Balcony overlooking the pool and lagoon. Hotel a shot walk to the truck stop that has excellent food and entertainment in the evening.”
“This accommodation exceeded all expectations! Excellent location, right by the beach. Clean and comfortable rooms. And it also has its own private area by the beach. Highly recommended!”
“A pocket of awesomeness on Earth
I wanted a cabana on the beach and that is exactly what I got. A place to stay for 4 weeks , in a home from home environment and it was utter bliss . No five star needed . A Cabana, with air con, a bed , a shower , and a fridge . It is the only way to stay , in a place like Ambergris . Socialising like a local, hitching lifts in go carts , walking along the beach to restaurants , It was an amazing 4 week stay made all the better by Christina ( who runs the hotel ) and her trusted Assistant Grisella . Christina was a source of valuable information , having lived here for many years and nothing was too much trouble for her . She was an outstanding hostess who became a friend .
There is a daily cleaning service, change of towels , a laundry service , on site cafe providing americanos and juice . If he started making pizza’s it would be a winner !
There is a security guard from around 7-12 am every night . Christina makes sure security lets her know is anyone doesn’t come home . I thought this was fab as a solo traveller . Really reassuring to know that someone had my back.
Hotel de Rio is located just north of the town . it is utterly charming , a place of tranquility and peace . Opposite tranquil waters and some of the best swimming locally , I really could ask for nothing more .
Like most of the beach , the beaches throughout AC have a problem with some form of harmless weed . There is an effort across the island to clean it up but it is fairly impossible . Therefore the best swimming is usually off a deck such as Hurricanes . There is also deck opposite the hotel - with steps leading into the sea and this is lovely ( and avoids the seaweed).
In terms of restaurants and shops - see my TA review but it is no more than a 12 minute walk along the beach into the main town where there are plenty of restaurants and banks ! Separate reviews available !
Check out Google and TA for further detail !”
“Great location, could walk to a lot of places. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with everything we needed - coffee, drinking water. The staff were awesome. Loved the restaurant on the property, great food and staff.”
“We absolutely loved our stay here. The rooms are big, it has aircon. There are little shampoos, they really show that they care about you. The pool is super refreshing. We thought the island was quit crowded and it was a perfect escape from the crowded while being on a good location. The owner is super friendly, thank you for hosting us.”
