The Watermark Hotel

Stayed at The Watermark Belize Hotel during my birthday in the first week of July. All staff were accommodating and resourceful, and they decked the room out as a surprise for my birthday. We loved the location (2 min from gas station/bridge, 5-10 min away from most shopping and restaurants, next door to a supermarket and great coffee, 30-40 min away from Secret Beach, and a short walk to 303 Belize Bar & Grill on the dock (which has a couple of tour companies that pick up for snorkeling and diving right there). Loved the view of the ocean, free bottled water, free beach towels daily, refrigerator and balcony with an outlet. The hotel has a backup generator, which worked seamlessly to power the phone, wifi and elevators during a north island power outage. (They also communicated when AC/power was expected to resume.) This is a big plus for digital nomads such as my partner, who reports wifi was speedy and handled large file transfers in real time. They also communicate well if you are expecting delayed luggage and notify them. Room service was very good, and the AC was awesome! The safe was reliable. Rooftop restaurant served good quality, fresh foods and cocktails. (Though I will say - there is fantastic Belizean coffee served on the island. Either the brand or the method of brewing at the hotel is honestly sub par.) I did not see any obvious spa services. The pool does not have bleach in it, which is nice, but that comes with a small amount of mildew in certain places. Be prepared to weigh your clothing and towels down with a bag or a book when poolside. It is a lovely, peaceful area by the restaurant and pool. People with long hair WILL need to have it secured and/or covered to prevent bad wind knots, by the way.

Amazing Rooftop view. Amazing bed and mattress, i slept well. Amazing Belizean meals Amazing staff. Amazing service. Amazing driver who picked us up. I have been offered loyalty programm for my next trip in september. Extended two more days due to peaceful place.

Outstanding stay at the Watermark Resort in San Pedro Belize (Ambergris Caye). To start with an overarching comment about the staff. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. From Danielle who was answering my emails before we arrived, to Caesar, Sessy, Alejandro, Caitlin, and many others who made sure our stay was enjoyable. As for the room we had an ocean view king room which was modern, clean and comfortable and maintained everyday. The resort has a restaurant and bar on the roof next to the pool and on the ground floor. We had breakfast there each day which was delicious and at a good price. Drinks at the Skyview Lounge by the pool or in the evening at Gustos lounge is a perfect experience. There is a workout room and spa as well as several other amenities that are all mentioned on the website. The facility is backed up by a generator that keeps the lights on and the internet available. There is a store nice door to the resort and several close eating and drinking establishments within walking distance. The location is conveniently located just north of the bridge on the main road. We rented a golf cart with the help of the front desk team. It was delivered to the hotel. We have been to other resorts over the several times we have stayed on Ambergris and we highly recommend this resort. Well done Watermark!
