Hi there,
My wife and I were married at Victoria House at the south end of Ambergris Caye, where we also spent our honeymoon after the family and friends went back to the states.
We found the resort to be simply amazing. It's beautiful, the staff is courteous and helpful, and it's just far enough out of downtown to keep things quiet. There is a pretty good range of room types. We stayed in a little casita for the first couple of nights, and then moved over to the outstanding honeymoon suite for the rest of our stay.
It is definitely a little on the expensive side, especially if you compare prices for activities (like diving) at other resorts. But the divemasters, Jacinto and Rene, were professional and knowledgeable, the fishing guides helped us catch enough snapper, mackerel, and grouper to feed 14 people one day, and the water taxi comes right to the dock when you take your new wife up to Capricorn for that romantic celebratory dinner
Anything we wanted to do, we would just let Javier know, and he'd say "be on the dock at 9:00am tomorrow morning, and the guide will pick you up", and that was it! He's definitely the man
Other great memories of our trip: Belikin beer (*sigh*), lounge chairs by the pool and on the beach, ceviche, driving golf carts around town, swimming with nurse sharks, freshly prepared, healthly-tasting food, rum drinks, sailing trips to Caye Caulker, awesome snorkeling and diving literally 5 minutes away.... We can't wait to go back!!!
While the wedding party was on the island, people went cave tubing on the mainland, birdwatching, shopping, barhopping, diving, you name it. Every single person that came has told us at one point or another that it was the most unbelievable vacation that they have ever been on.
That says something about Belize
