Want a Robinson Crusoe, rustic getaway with just a few people on your own palm-tree shaded oasis? Book a night or two at either of the resort's tiny out islands. Robert's Caye has four cabanas built over the water and Ranguana Caye has three; each islet also has a small restaurant.
The Inn at Robert's Grove offers a variety of packages. The eight-day/seven-night adventure includes lodging, meals, and several outings.
Why Families Love It: This resort lacks a children's program and probably works best for families with gradeschoolers and teens who want to explore. Snorkelers and scuba enthusiasts go on guided explorations of Belize's barrier reef, teeming with rainbow-colored fish, sea turtles, and brilliant corals. From April through June, experienced divers can swim with the whale sharks, the world's largest fish, which can grow up to 60 feet long. At the dive center, children ten and older can earn their junior certification. Inland adventures go to Monkey River, where you're likely to see howler monkeys, toucans, and manatees, and then onto Maya ruins. The excursion to Lubaantnun, the largest Maya site in the Toledo District, includes swimming in the nearby caves of Blue Creek.
Special Events & Activities: Snorkel the reef at Laughingbird Caye, rich with schools of tropical fish, and then picnic on Laughingbird's sugar white beach.
One of the original luxury resorts on the Placencia peninsula, this place has aged well, expanding and upgrading regularly along the way. All of the rooms are roomy, comfortable, and come with a host of modern amenities. Rustic red-tile floors, Guatemalan textiles, and Mexican ceramic accents abound. The standard rooms come with either one king bed or two twin beds, as well as a fold-down futon couch. All come with a private balcony, hung with a hammock. A pair of ceiling fans means you can opt to forgo the air-conditioning. I'd try to land a second-floor room, as these feature higher ceilings and better views. Many of the suites come with fully equipped kitchenettes, and all have a large living room, and a large balcony. There are six—count 'em—six rooftop Jacuzzis spread around the resort, as well as two others by the new pool. The rooftop ones are particularly inviting for late-night stargazing and soaking.
