Royal Caribbean Resort

Royal Caribbean Resort Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Royal Caribbean Resort on Seagrape Drive, I’ll be honest — it felt like I’d found something of a hidden gem in San Pedro. This four-star property sits right where you want to be in Belize, close enough to everything but far enough from the chaos. The entrance has this relaxed Caribbean vibe that immediately tells you to slow down and breathe. You know what struck me most? How the staff genuinely seemed happy to see guests arrive, not just going through the motions.

The Location Sweet Spot

Here’s the thing about San Pedro — location is everything, and this place nails it. I mean, couples absolutely love it here (they rate the location 8 out of 10), and after spending time exploring the area, I totally get why. You’re walking distance from the main strip with all the restaurants and bars, but when you want to escape the tourist crowds, you can actually do that. The resort feels like it’s in its own little bubble, which is exactly what you want after a day of diving or exploring the island. Plus, there’s parking right at the hotel — trust me, that’s not something you find everywhere in San Pedro.

Rooms That Work

The room I stayed in was honestly better than I expected for a four-star property. Nothing fancy or over-the-top, but everything you need is there and it’s done well. The air conditioning actually works (crucial in Belize), the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had decent water pressure. What I really appreciated was the little balcony — not huge, but perfect for morning coffee while watching the island wake up. The decor has that Caribbean resort feel without being too themed, if you know what I mean.

Dining and Amenities

The on-site restaurant surprised me in the best way. I wasn’t expecting much, honestly, but they do a solid job with both local Belizean dishes and international options. The conch fritters are actually worth ordering, and their fish is fresh — which sounds obvious for an island, but you’d be surprised how many places mess that up. The pool area is where most people hang out during the day, and it’s got that perfect size where it feels social but not crowded. There’s also a small spa that offers basic treatments — nothing elaborate, but sometimes a simple massage after a day of activities is all you need.

Why Guests Love It

Look, Royal Caribbean Resort isn’t trying to be the fanciest place on the island, and that’s actually its strength. It’s reliable, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming without the pretense you sometimes get at higher-end resorts. The staff knows the area well and will point you toward the best local spots — not just the touristy ones. For couples especially, it hits that sweet spot of being romantic without being stuffy, and active without being overwhelming. The 7.2 rating might seem modest, but honestly, it reflects exactly what this place is — a solid, enjoyable stay that delivers on its promises without any unpleasant surprises.

Belize hotels keep guests close to the Swing Bridge, rum tasting lounges, and water taxis skipping to Ambergris Caye.
