Top 10 Reasons To Spend Your Family Summer Vacation In Belize

Plan A Belize Family Vacation

No need to hire a translator to find out why one of Belize’s most remarkable Caribbean resorts was named Chabil Mar Villas. It’s a translation of “beautiful sea,” derived from an ancient Mayan dialect. And while the Caribbean sea is soothing, it’s not the only example of beauty you’ll find at this lush tropical resort. We unearthed 10 other beautiful reasons to stay at Chabil Mar. You’ll discover more!

1. Chabil Mar is located on the Placencia peninsula, Belize’s hottest destination. At 16 miles long, it’s filled with charming towns and endless recreational opportunities.

2. Families preferring more tranquil waters can take youngsters one mile east to where Placencia’s lagoon washes up on equally beautiful beaches. Your kids could spot the manatees living in the lagoon – if these endangered mammals decide to show themselves.

3. The 400-feet of private beach at Chabil Mar is beautifully manicured and awash in palm trees and comfy lounge chairs. All your senses will come alive as you are treated to soothing vistas, waves, and breezes. Digging in the sand and popping into the sea are not just invited but encouraged!

4. For guests who prefer fresh water, two Chabil Mar pools await. Just steps from the small number of accommodations that make this resort one of the most navigable in Belize, family members enjoy having two choices when pool time arrives.

5. Chabil Mar villas are beautifully appointed, face the Sea, and offer families room to spread out within from 925- to 2000-square feet of space. From beautiful furnishings and well-appointed baths, attached verandas bring the best of the outdoors inside.

Ambergris Caye vs Placencia: Which Is Better For A Belize Honeymoon?

Honeymoon Resorts All Inclusive in Belize

Do you frequently find yourself debating the merits of one issue, place, or subject over another? Perhaps you are motivated by this back and forth. Maybe debates satisfy your need to win, or you just love to hone your persuasion skills. The fact is, some of us are hard-wired for healthy debates and if you’re one of them, perhaps you just like to argue for the sake of seeing how good you are at articulating your perspective.

Humans, it seems, aren’t the only entities drawn to the debate stage. There’s been an unofficial competition between the two most popular Belize destinations for longer than either Ambergris Caye or Placencia peninsula fans will admit, and for couples planning honeymoons, the decision to pick one over the other can be tough because both destinations are popular, diverse, and packed with opportunities that make ordinary honeymoons become extraordinary ones.

We can help you decide…

The Ambergris Caye/Placencia decision is simply no contest. Placencia is the clear favorite among honeymooners who want it all, minus the crowded beaches and rowdy all-night bacchanals for which Ambergris is not just known but beloved by folks who wouldn’t vacation or reside elsewhere. Allow us to make a case for Placencia if you’re sitting on the fence by citing these 10 reasons:

1. Placencia beaches are lauded by travel experts as being the best in Belize.
2. Honeymooners enjoy two coasts: The Caribbean and a tranquil bay where manatees frolic.
3. Ambergris is more crowded at 10 times the population of Placencia.
4. Placencia offers quick access to top tourist attractions. Every Ambergris mainland tour requires a time-consuming boat ride.
5. At 16 miles long, Placencia is delightfully navigable. Ambergris covers 25 miles.
6. Ambergris is the Caribbean version of the wild west! Placencia is laid-back and mellow.
7. Honeymooners find Placencia to be quaint, romantic, and charming. Ambergris? Crazy-busy!
8. Get to Placencia from the airport quickly to start your honeymoon. Add a boat ride to reach Ambergris.
9. Ambergris is the quintessential tourist town, so you’ll likely spend more money during your honeymoon.
10. Ambergris will satisfy your wish for 24/7 partying. Prefer privacy and intimacy? Placencia is Nirvana.

The honeymoon haven you seek awaits

Learn more about this idyllic peninsula and you’ll be convinced that making a decision to skip Ambergris Caye in favor of this paradise on earth is exactly the honeymoon you’ve dreamed about, and so much more!

Why Belize is King in Summer and Fall

belize summer and fall vacations

Admit it: You can’t ignore media attention given to England’s royal family. From the Queen’s remarkable longevity to Meghan and Harry’s split and the loss of Prince Phillip, it’s hard to ignore this front page news.

It’s even harder to do so in Belize where ties to the U.K. remain so strong, you’ll hear the Queen’s English spoken everywhere you go, the nation’s legal system emulates England’s and everywhere travelers turn, there are reminders of the former British Honduras. Given this impressive pedigree, it’s no wonder travelers prefer time in Belize to other nations in the southern hemisphere.

“Belize is a cultural anomaly in Central America, with a society oriented more to Britain, the English-speaking Caribbean countries, and North America, than to neighboring Spanish-speaking republics,” concluded researchers compiling a handbook about Belize for the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress.

For these reasons and more, vacationers consider Belize “the King” of the Central American region and this supremacy is especially noticeable in Summer and Fall when tourism transitions between seasons. Why does Belize “rule” over neighboring lands? Visit the Placencia Peninsula and you’ll understand why!

-This finger of land may be only 16-miles long but it’s filled with wonders
-The beaches are the most highly-rated in the region
-Stay on the peninsula and experience both ocean- and lagoon-side water sports
-Visitors are drawn to coffee shops, bistros, internet cafes, the harbor, guest houses and restaurants
-The people of Placencia are exceptional “hosts,” especially in Seine Bight, a fascinating Garifuna village
-Proximity to rain forests, jungles and especially Belize’s Great Barrier Reef is amazing
-Placencia is emerging as a major tourism hub, but it remains the sleepy fishing village of days past.
