Royal Caribbean Resort
Despite what the name might imply, the Royal Caribbean Resort is not a giant high-rise hotel. Located on the offshore Ambergris Cay, the Royal Caribbean Resort features cabana accommodations that bring you closer to nature. Not only is the Belize Barrier Reef a half-mile off shore from the resort, but the resort is also close to the area's waterfalls, jungles and rivers. Even though this resort is a great stopping point for Belize's ecotourism, the hotel also offers its own amenities, including a beachside swimming pool as well as equipment for sailing, fishing and scuba diving. This is a great choice for anyone who wants low-key accommodations that bring nature into the spotlight.

Which Resort to Choose?
The answer depends on what kind of vacation you want. If you are looking for more of a jungle-oriented vacation that explores the vast interior of Belize, consider staying at the Royal Mayan Resort. On the other hand, if you are looking for more of a beach-oriented vacation that also caters to visiting the vast offshore coral reef, consider staying at the Royal Caribbean Resort. Either way, you will have an unforgettable vacation.
