Victoria House Resort & Spa

Victoria House, San Pedro, and Belize were a 10 out of 10! This was the first time we had stayed at a smaller, non-all-inclusive resort and it was a great experience! I loved how we didn't have to wake up early to save chairs, there was always space on the beach, by the pool, at dinner and the bar! The staff was amazing, especially our bar tender Amy - the food was exceptional. The island was safe and fun to be able to go into town on a golf cart for shopping, dinner, or excursions. The excursions were pricey, but totally worth it - we did the shorter day trip (715 am - 3 pm) to the Mayan ruins which included a quick flight, a lagoon boat ride, and plenty of time at the ruins with a local lunch to end the day. The only negative is the lack of a full beach (there is very little sand) and an ocean wall and the water was full of sea grass - but evidently it isn't like that year round (the sea grass that is) - you could get in the ocean from these long boat docks and then sections were buoyed off. We did however see a lot of ocean life from the dock making that part neat! We also enjoyed a constant breeze off the water - making it the PERFECT weather.

We have been to Victoria House many times over a number of decades. The experience at Victoria House and Ambergris Cay just gets better with each visit. As is our usual practice, we contact Luis Vasquez at the dive shop, a few weeks prior to our visit, to arrange our activities and meals while at the resort. Luis is a real pro and has never failed to provide a week that is exactly as we hoped. Our desired activities and meal arrangements are always spot on, and Luis' suggestions are always on point. He is a valuable resource, and I encourage his use. We always find Victoria House lodgings and its other facilities to be perfectly maintained and ready for use. Service is impeccable, and housekeeping is unobtrusive. We come to Ambergris Cay for the land and water activities. During this trip, we enjoyed snorkeling and diving with the Bradley brothers. We always try to get them, and they are simply the best at what they do. They can get anyone, regardless of skill or fear level, comfortable with snorkeling or diving. This trip, we had a nervous swimmer and her five year old daughter with us. Both of them were made comfortable enough that they enjoyed the water and sights at Hol Chan and Mexico Rocks. The mother even got comfortable doing a resort dive. We also snorkeled Coral Gardens. The snorkeling at these locations is some of the best that I have experienced in many trips around the Caribbean. The variety and size of the marine creatures you will see is exceptional. Since becoming protected areas, Hol Chan and Mexico Rocks are better with each visit. We also did a Cay Caulker cruise with Captain Horace on the Felicity catamaran. He runs a good trip. Be sure to hand- feed the tarpon on Cay Caulker. We also took the Tropic Air trip to the Lamanai ruins. This is a very efficient way to see the ruins, with a short flight to Orange Walk and an hour boat ride to the ruins, during which you will see a variety of wildlife (maybe even a crocodile). We have used Colin as our private guide for many trips there. He is very knowledgeable about the ruins themselves and the wildlife along the river. At the ruins look for the howler monkeys. You will be back at Victoria House by 3:00PM We always eat well during the week. This time we began at Victoria House's Palmilla restaurant for dinner. It ended up being my best seafood dinner of the trip. Perfectly cooked fish! We also would recommend that you try El Fogon, Caliente, and, of course Elvi's. You won't be disappointed. During our downtime during the day, we were ably served drinks and food at our "house" by genial servers, most notably Duane. We tried to book the same week in 2026, but our preferred lodging was already taken. We were able to book two weeks later, however. This place is popular and fills up quickly. Don't delay.

We loved our trip!!!! It is a beautiful spot. One thing that we loved was that this hotel is not over-crowded. There are other guests, but this is hotel always felt private. This feature made this trip very relaxing. The hotel food is lovely! The rooms are beautiful and spacious. But the main feature is the hotel staff. Every single staff member was nice and friendly, genuinely. They made this trip very memorable for us. Shout outs to Duane, Vanessa, Tony, Ashley and Jose. If Luiz can’t fix it, it is unfixable. We intend to return with our children!!!! Thank you!

2 bed luxury villa for 4 nights - faultless. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, breakfast lunch and dinner all very good. Service was impeccable with staff really going the extra mile to ensure every need was catered to. Concierge on WhatsApp really helpful with restaurants and taxis. Everyone was friendly and professional. Attention to detail and cleanliness around the resort was excellent. We hired a beach buggy a couple of days and also took the complementary bikes out which was fun. The pools were both really nice and although the hotel was quite full it didn’t ever feel crowded. Good location about 10 mins south of town in a buggy.

Impeccable staff, beautiful well appointed rooms, blissful location, excellent food. Your resort had everything we were looking for to explore Ambergris Caye. The restaurant quality exceeded our expectations, but the prize winner was the friendly, professional staff.
