Ultimate Guide To Ambergris-San Pedro: Where To Stay, Eat, And Explore!

Great video. I'm now planning a trip there. What airline or travel site do you use/recommend for booking? I can't seem to find good options out of the Phoenix area.

Great video! Very thorough’

We are going in November, I can't wait. Great video!

amazingly broken down, THANK YOU!!!

Why dont any of these videos depict reality? San pedro is a toilet

I just returned from Ambergris Caye. I was pretty disappointed. It's nothing like how social media perceives it to be. The awful smell around the island is so offputting (not sure if it's the Sargassum) but it smells like horrible sewer/sulfur. Then the restaurant service is nothing like other places south of the border like Mexico where you are greeted with a smile and the service staff are grateful you are there patronizing their business. Nobody seems to smile much in Belize ( I was in San Ignacio, Caye Caulker, Ambergris Caye). I was staying North of San Pedro and I will say I as a male did not feel safe walking alone as it becomes less populated and not very safe feeling. Lastly, I will say that if one goes to Ambergris Caye they are in for a rude awakening as it is very shantytown-like in many places and not very many white sand beaches. Lots of pollution plastic waste around the island. Sad that the locals don't take pride in their island.

Do people have to spend $75 each time they want to get to the mainland from San Pedro by air? Even local people have to spend a couple of hundred US dollars? it doesn't sound like an easy place to retire or even vacation.

Epic send!

Subscribed and took good notes to plan our trip in this August...Do you recommend staying in Ambergyis or Caye Caulker?

Noisy as hell! Golf carts everywhere. Only one beach on the whole island, and that one is located 45 minutes(with a golf cart) away from down town San Pedro. Not an island you go to if you like to relax on the beach. Because there are no beaches... The whole east coast is covered with sargasso weed.

Thank you ,good video ,I will be visiting early March

Amazing - so helpful!

In the middle of planning my trip !

Great video, we just got back from San Pedro and stayed at Ramon's Dive Village, it was great but the dinner menu wasn't. We loved going snorkeling, we use Belizecatamaran from the Palapa dock. The did a full day trip which hit Hol Chan & Shark Alley, then went to The Split at Caye Caulker for 40 mins. The Truck stop was a great place to eat, we hit that twice and hit Blue Bayou as well. 2 weeks before we got there, a US tourist was shot & killed at Jaguars. Caught in the crossfire betwen 2 gangs, heavy police activity when we went down there. My sons (21 & 19) went there and even the locals told him it wasn't a smart move. Our biggest take away was how nice the residents are, my 2 boys hung out with 2 workers from Ramon's. My wife would recommend a food tour, we met a local at the San Pedro sign and she brought us to 5 local restaurants to try Belize food. My kids and wife liked it a lot, I was sick and a picky eater, but it was just nice talking to the people there.

Very informative

wonderful and very detailed guide

I've never been to Belize. But on New Years eve of 2022, I'm moving to Ambergris Caye.
I haven't watched many videos on the place, this is the first one I've watched. Now, I'm excited. This place is just what Dr. Jim has in mind for a remedy.

Nice review of of my hometown sanpedro, every one is welcome

ambergris is an aweful place, cars and golf carts trying to kill you everywhere. its small dirty and noisy. guys pee in the street and its all just kind of disgusting. when you cross the bridge look left and see one of the worst slums anywhere. if you go north of town, past the bridge, its not so bad but you can get beautiful beaches lots of places.
