Before saying anything else, I want to make absolutely clear that old reviews about a divemaster, Carlos, are no longer relevant. The current divemaster, Nigel Ritchie, was one of the best parts of our stay. My wife and I were recently-certified open water divers and Nigel carefully reviewed our logs, spent a good amount of time making sure we were... More

THE BACK STORY In March 2007 my wife and I split two weeks in Belize - one week in Placencia, one in Ambergris. Loved the laid back quiet of Placencia, too far from the reef. Didn't care for the hustle and bustle of San Pedro, loved the proximity and health of the reef. This time I wanted to show our... More

This was a great place to visit in Belize. It's directly on the reef! The staff in excellent. All of the meals were prepared with love. The Scuba master was great. I took the Discover class and did my first dive on the reef, breath taking to say the least. Can't wait to get back there!!!

This resort has a perfect location, excellent accommodations, great food, and a wonderful staff. I stayed at Blue Marlin Resort (BMR) during June, intent on a fishing vacation. South Water Caye is a paradise island, and BMR spans the island's width on the comfortable northern end. BMR has an extensive pier with more dock space than any other facility on... More

What can I say, South Water Caye was AWESOME! The scuba, snorkeling, fishing was the best I've seen in the Caribbean Islands. I spent four days with my family and everyone very much enjoyed the beach; also possibly the best in Belize... Our living quarters were very clean and well kept; we enjoyed our time and hope to return soon.... More

I stayed at the Blue Marlin in June 1991 and went on my first ever wall dive. That dive was spectacular and the dive staff took such good care of me, the novice in the group. I am back at the Blue Marlin again, this time with my husband. Everyone, from the dive master to the chef, makes sure that... More

Scuba, snorkeling and fishing have got to be seen to be Belized. The truely professional, hard working, and happy staff that want their guests to discover the paradise that is Belize. Food that is prepared fresh, right off the reef, and cooked to perfection. Just the breeze and the not too distant surf at night. It's only a coulple of... More
