The Phoenix Resort

A beachfront resort in San Pedro Town with a horseshoe-shaped layout of rooms surrounding a pool and gardens, close to the airstrip and downtown.

Since opening in 1987, Ramon’s Village Resort has developed a distinctive identity built around its palm-thatched cabanas, established diving operation, and distinctly Belizean character. Styled after the traditional Tahitian cottages of Bora Bora and constructed with native materials, the resort’s accommodations range from beachfront and seaside cabanas to garden-set jungle units, with individual and two-story options designed for couples, families, and longer stays. At the center of the property is an 80-foot lagoon-style swimming pool, surrounded by palms and Mayan sculptures, while the beachfront restaurant, Pineapples On The Beach, provides breakfast, lunch, dinner and daily specials. A second poolside stop, Tropic Al’s, specializes in coffee and fresh fruit smoothies, adding a more casual complement to the resort’s principal dining venue. Yet it is the resort’s relationship with the water that truly distinguishes Ramon’s Village. Its 400-foot pier is home to Ramon’s Village Divers and serves as the departure point for scuba diving, snorkeling and other excursions. The dive operation is a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort, offering instruction from introductory experiences through professional-level training. Beyond the water, guests have access to a beach spa, tour desk, equipment rentals, golf-cart rentals and concierge assistance. With its combination of traditional cabanas, established hospitality and an unusually direct connection between accommodations and diving operations, Ramon’s Village Resort remains one of San Pedro’s most recognizable resort properties.

Brahma Blue Resort offers a distinctly private way to stay near San Pedro, set across the lagoon from town and reached by a short boat transfer. The resort is built around spacious two- and three-bedroom suites and penthouses rather than conventional hotel rooms, giving families and groups the freedom of a private residence with fully equipped kitchens, generous living spaces, private balconies, and waterfront or garden views. Some of the largest penthouses extend to approximately 3,500 square feet and include three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The arrival itself becomes part of the experience. Guests are transported by private water taxi, crossing the lagoon before arriving at the resort, where the quieter setting immediately creates a sense of separation from the activity of San Pedro. Once settled in, days can unfold beside the pool, on the water, or simply on a private balcony overlooking the lagoon. Brahma Blue also makes it easy to turn a stay into a complete getaway. Its concierge can arrange golf carts, island flights, snorkeling, diving, tours, cruises, dining reservations, and spa treatments, while Ocean Wave Day Spa offers massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, and other treatments. Lost Gringos, located on the dock, provides Belizean and international dining, with room and pool service available. For families and groups seeking space, privacy, and a resort experience that begins with a boat ride, Brahma Blue offers a remarkably different way to experience San Pedro.
