Great Inn in Belize City
Beautiful, historic home converted into an Inn, no elevator/lots of stairs. The property is less than a mile from the Ocean Clipper Ferry from the Cayes - we walked but there were cabs available outside. Our room (#15) was generous in size with 2 queen beds and mosquito netting (which we luckily did not need), a large bath with tub and a long vanity top, A/C and ceiling fan, closet and safe, dresser and fridge. Our shower did not drain well but a quick word to the front desk and it was resolved same day. There is a pool with 3 sun decks. Stop by the front desk for a voucher to use at the cafe on the ground level. The offerings weren't that extensive but the coffee and yogurt were delicious. The location is a bit out of town but everything we had read was don't be out at night on foot. There were a couple of restaurants nearby (Treehouse, in the Fort George Hotel) and Secret Garden, a few blocks down the street. I am not sure Celebrity Restaurant is worth the hype.
