Santa Cruz Vacations from $1,221

If you are looking for the big box hotels this is not the place for you..Bella Vista is quaint, relaxing, personable..nature at its best..beautiful family friendly resort..I enjoyed staying here for our anniversary..They even set up a private romantic dinner for us on our anniversary..we were super excited and surprised..I will not stay anywhere else on Ambergris caye i San Pedro..this is it ..I fell in love with all the staff..especially Linda our morning crew at breakfast and lunch..We will be back soon Bella Vista.

The resort has the potential to be a 5 star resort. It is lacking the polish. Overall it is a beautiful resort, loved the organic garden, and the pool is very nice. Maintainance equipment was left out through out the despite work being done for the day. The main chef was amazing but his back up needs a lot more training and experience. Noticable difference in preparation of meals. Water pressure consistently low and hard to get hot water.

We were the only guests on the property which we found to be odd. You couldn’t eat outside or sit on the beach because of the insects. On the positive side, the staff was outstanding, and tended to our every need. The snorkeling was spectacular and the best we’ve ever experienced. Our guide and captain the best.
