An affordable vacation package staying at the top rated resort on Ambergris Caye in Belize called White Sands Cove Resort sounds a good idea. At an average year round price of USD230, and high quality condominium style accommodation at this beachfront resort makes the idea sound even better.
The White Sands Cove Resort with eighteen accommodation units is situated about two and a half miles north of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye.
Accessed by water taxi the White Sands Cove Resort sits on two hundred feet of lovely well maintained beach, so is a real beachfront resort, and in the perfect situation for scuba divers being so close to the second largest barrier reef in the world. This is a condominium hotel, and the accommodation is luxurious, all with great views of the Caribbean
All the condominiums at White Sands Cove Resort have fully equipped kitchens, air conditioning, hand made local wood furniture, satellite television and daily housekeeping.
You can choose from one and two bedroom condominiums, and each one is unique in its design and lay out. There are sea front, sea view, and Sea/lagoon view which provides the most privacy at the back of the property.
The resort itself has an onsite PADI dive shop, and three boats, plus a fresh water swimming pool, with pool bar and lounge. The Lone Coconut, the beach bar is right on the edge of the Caribbean.
Added to this there is a games room, an island style Spa, and complimentary high speed wireless access, for those folk who are physically and mentally joined to their laptops!!
For the idle, there are plenty of hammocks to catch up on your reading, and for the energetic complimentary kayaks to explore the water, bicycles to explore Ambergris Caye, and golf cart rentals to make it easy to explore San Pedro and the surrounding area.
One of the beauties of White Sands Cove Resort is that it is small, and for an affordable vacation the service is top of the range which makes it even better. There is a real feel that you are in a family atmosphere, and you will find your name being used when you are addressed almost from the start. Large five star gin palaces could do well to imitate this.
If you want to go snorkelling or on a trip anywhere there is no point in doing it by yourself. The resort and the PADI shop will organise great snorkelling trips or visits to places like the Baboon Community. You will find the guides they deal with on, or below the water, or on dry land are excellent.

This was your good luck, and you will realise very quickly that this is a resort that is different. From the staff to the ambience, the position, and the overall feeling of a small high class, perhaps underestimated condominium beachfront resort on glorious Ambergris Cay. Value for money indeed.
