If you are looking for a unique vacation that is not too expensive, consider visiting the country of Belize. Located in Central America, it neighbors Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the east. Even though this country is less than 12,000 square miles in area, the country is rich with things to do. It has tropical rain forests, ancient Mayan ruins, sun-drenched beaches and even its own barrier reef similar to the one in Australia. If you are looking to vacation here, consider staying in one of the resorts that call Belize home.

Royal Mayan Resort and Spa

Located in the middle of the country, the Royal Mayan Resort and Spa is named for the ancient Mayan ruins that stand in the vicinity of the hotel. This resort prides itself on the fact that it sits on top of a hill because it gives it some amazing views of the surrounding jungle. Complete with Mayan-themed architecture, the resort offers tours of the surrounding jungle, including ones that take you to towering waterfalls and Mayan pyramids. The resort also offers horseback riding. As for the hotel itself, it offers a swimming pool, fitness center, spa, restaurant and bar. Overall, a stay at the Royal Mayan Resort will give you the luxurious experience of what Belize's Mayan jungle has to offer.

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.
