Ambergris Caye combines an island retreat with San Pedro’s town life. Las Terrazas Resort is the beachfront residence base north of town; the northern protected landscape and the island’s Maya and working history give the stay interests beyond the water.

Las Terrazas Resort provides a beachfront residence-style option 3.5 miles north of San Pedro. The island’s north–south geography matters more here than the broad San Pedro address.
Fishing, coconut production and chicle once supported Ambergris Caye’s inhabitants. Those livelihoods connect the island to both the sea and Belize’s forest economy. They give a walk through San Pedro another historical thread beyond the excursion desks: the town developed around working island lives before tourism became its main source of income.
Bacalar Chico National Park and Marine Reserve occupy a northern Ambergris Caye setting bordering Mexico. The protected landscape includes coastal forest, wetlands and lagoons as well as marine environments. This gives a nature interest an identifiable part of the island beyond the beach beside the accommodation.
Bacalar Chico was an important Maya trading site. The Maya dug the canal that separates Ambergris Caye from Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. The waterway therefore carries a human history alongside the surrounding protected landscape.
Our Belize destination guide introduces the country’s other settings and places Ambergris Caye within that broader geography.
No. It is the principal town on Ambergris Caye. Keep that island geography clear when planning a wider Belize route. A town outing and a separate mainland stay are different stages of a journey, even when both appear under the same national destination.
Hol Chan is a named marine reserve associated with the waters off the island area. Choose it for its protected marine setting, rather than treating every boat outing as interchangeable. Give the experience its own purpose within the trip.
No. The position of the accommodation and the location of a particular marine site are distinct. Choose Las Terrazas for its actual beach and residence setting, keeping any reef outing as a separate part of the plan.
The resort and town offer different experiences. Leave time in San Pedro if dining, shops and the streets interest you, rather than assuming every aspect of island life takes place inside the hotel grounds.
Belize Chocolate Company makes chocolate on the island from cacao grown by small family farmers in southern Belize. Its own cocoa butter goes into the chocolate, while local ingredients include citrus-blossom honey, coconut and cashew. The San Pedro boutique gives a food interest a connection to mainland farming without making a cacao-plantation visit part of the island stay.
