“Little Ambergris Oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The Blue Tang Inn is like a little oasis on Ambergris Caye. Its located at the northern end of the main part of town, and is situated on a lovely little piece of beach. We just returned from staying for a week at this little gem and have already made our reservations for next year! There are just 14 rooms, but all are "suites" with living area, dining table, and a kitchenette, and are air conditioned and cute and clean! (we didn't need the a/c in February - we had lovely cool breezes all week long) If you want to see detailed info about the inn, just go to their web page, where you can see pictures of the grounds, the rooms, and all the details you could need about the inn. Fanny and Allan are such gracious managers - they will truly do anything to make your stay enjoyable, as will all of the staff. I think it says a lot about a hotel when the employees have all been there for years. The inn has WIFI and a golf cart that you can rent for excursions around the island, but really, the main town is within a very short walk and is very safe at all hours. Richie's grocery is a block down the street from the hotel, so you have the opportunity to stock your kitchen and fridge if you want snacks and drinks in your room. Allan can also have the fridge stocked with beer, sodas, and water before you arrive if you wish. The pool area is lovely and the continental breakfast met our needs - a baked/hot item such as johnnycakes, muffins, waffles, or breakfast burritos - and fruit, juice, coffee, yogurt, cereal, and hot water and teabags were available every day. The rooms were kept spotless, the beds were perfectly firm, there was plenty of room for our belongings without feeling cramped, and we were extremely pleased with everything about the Blue Tang Inn.

We've been to AC 6 times now, and I think we've found our "home" on the island. Can't wait till our next trip to the Blue Tang.

Room Tip: TV only on 3rd floor - rooms on front have full ocean view. Visit website to see their floorplan.

“Perfect blend of fun and relaxation... Paradise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of October and if we had things our way, we'd still be there... The room was absolutely beautiful, as was the entire property - right on a great stretch of beach, sweet pool on the ground level patio, hammocks on the verandas overlooking the ocean, and the best rooftop view you could ask for. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating - their welcoming attitude and kindness added to the already totally relaxing atmosphere. We ended up getting to know some other guests, and had a fantastic poolside BBQ one night with lobster we caught that day. So much fun. If you're staying at Blue Tang, you should DEFINITELY book a fishing excursion!! They can arrange all kinds of activities, and they make it so easy... Take advantage of it! Whether you want to spend your days reading and relaxing, going on adventures, or exploring the night life of San Pedro (of which there's plenty) you can't ask for a better place to do it all then Blue Tang.

“Charming and Friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

person found this review helpful

The Blue Tang Inn is a gem! We have been traveling to Belize and the Blue Tang for about six years and every year it gets better and better. We are always welcomed by the staff which is made up of the same people as it was when we began staying with them. The grounds have been meticulously cared for and improve every year. The pool is surrounded by a beautiful garden wall the provides privacy to the hotel and offers a variety of plants, birds and animal life within it! The beach was well maintained and a great place to enjoy relaxing in the sun while my children played in the sand and water. There is fantastic snorkeling within walking distance (if you know the right people to ask) you just might find it! when we weren't in the water, the local markets and ice cream shops were fun to explore. The daily breakfast was enough to tide my family over until lunch which meant that we were able to do fun beach and water activities without having to find a restaurant right away. Thanks Blue Tang for another wonderful trip!

Room Tip: Many different price points are available but the rooms on the 3rd floor are the most beautiful.

“Best Location on Ambergris”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

For 15+ years the Blue Tang has been the ideal location for my family and friends to enjoy all of the great things to do on Ambergris Caye. Each year I find more and more that attracts me to continue to plan my annual vacation in this meca of culture, great shopping, delicious foods, and of course the truely magnificiant diving. Every dive shop has super friendly and knowledgeable guides/dive masters whom make you feel very comfortable and safe. I've been to several neighboring countries and other places around the world and I really can't say enough about the Blue Tang Staff, from the FREE delicious breakfast to the time I go to bed they are always so curtious and freindly. They seem to welcome me back every year by name which just feels great, I love the connection with my central american friends. Hats off...salute, can't wait to see you again next year!

Room Tip: All Rooms are great! If you want a TV (flat screen) book 3rd floor

“Everything we hoped for and more!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

The Blue Tang was everything we had hoped for and more. The location is close to the main square and has a beautiful beach within steps from our door. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they took care of anything we needed. The rooms are spacious, colorfully decorated and very comfortable beds. The full size kitchen was stocked with utensils and place settings, which was nice. There was plenty of hot water for showers and the place is kept sparkling clean. Our only choice for Ambergris Caye will be the Blue Tang!

Room Tip: All of the rooms are spacious and unique
