Why we like it for families

  • THE RESIDENCES. With multi-bedroom suites and beachfront homes, families of all sizes will have no problem finding a home-away-from-home at Las Terrazas. Most of the 36 unites include fully equipped kitchens and washers and dryers – music to parents’ ears. Grocery stocking services are available, with a nearby bodega also reachable by golf cart for snacks and other basics. Plus, the air condition is extra strong – not something you find at every Belize hotel. As of April 2025, the rooms are admittedly in need of a bit of a refresh — especially the bathrooms and toiletry products. These are not luxury rooms – they are more like great beachfront condos where you’ll sleep comfortably and walk straight out for pool vibes and a delicious breakfast you don’t have to cook.
  • THE POOL. If you love a great pool, Las Terrazas is for you, with an infinity ledge and in-water lounge chairs. Your kids will be happy swimming for hours. It’s important to know that Ambergris Caye is not known for its great beaches — it’s more about getting out to the reef for snorkeling. After a day on the ocean, this is a great pool to come home to.
  • KID-FRIENDLY FOOTPRINT. We love small hotels for families because kids can a certain independence and freedom of movement. The layout of Las Terrazas definitely has that going for it, with the rooms all laid out in close proximity to the pool, kids can easily pop back and forth to the rooms for forgotten items or a break.
  • BABYSITTING. Babysitting is offered, typically by staff members who have already met your kids around the pool and know their name, which provides a level of accountability we appreciate. And even when not specifically babysitting, resort staff will help your kids feel right at home. San Pedro has a lively nightlife, and Las Terrazas gives parents the chance to take advantage of it (or go scuba diving without the kids!).

Las Terrazas Belize Resort offers Mango Tree guests VIP amenities including: Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability; $100 resort credit; Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability; Complimentary Wi-Fi. Let’s get you VIP’d!

Location and Activities

Getting to Las Terrazas in Ambergis Caye requires a 15-minute hopper flight (or 90 minute ferry ride) from Belize’s main international airport, the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE). While the hopper flight may seem like a bit extra step, it only adds about 1.5 – 2 hours to your overall travel time, and the local airline Tropic Air, will get you out the door to the islands in a jiffy. If you work with Mango Tree to book your trip, we can easily coordinate the transfers and flights for you. Once you arrive in San Pedro, we highly recommend doing the 10 minute boat transfer up island to the hotel to arrive in style.

Once on property, your main form of transportation will be a golf cart. Rent one for their duration of their stay. The hotel is a bit out of the way – about a 25 minute golf cart ride north of the main town of San Pedro. Other beaches and restaurants are just a short ride away, but the property has an air of being away from it all. The upside is, you’re closer to the road to Secret Beach, which is a must-do in Ambergris Caye.

  • When you arrive at Las Terrazas, the helpful and welcoming staff will personally greet you and whisk away your bags, guiding you to the outdoor palapa lobby for check-in, a rum punch, and a refreshingly cold eucalyptus towel. The stress will begin to melt away. The professional and multilingual concierge staff will be happy to help you with restaurant reservations, excursions, and any questions you might have about your time in Ambergis Caye.
  • Las Terrazas Resort features 36 residential units surrounding a centerpiece infinity pool with in-water lounge chairs. Residences include six Penthouses, each with two or three bedrooms, large balcony space and a plunge pool. There are also 19 Resort View Residences, ranging from one- to three-bedrooms, which will be the best choice for most small families. Multigenerational families or groups of friends can book one of the four 2-story Oceanfront Sea Houses steps from the beach. And the more budget conscious families can grab a Lagoon Residence, sacrificing a view but not the amenities. The rooms and grounds are in need of a refresh; choose Las Terrazas more for space, comfort, and the great pool vibes than for modern luxury hotel amenities.
  • The residences have kitchens, but there’s a great restaurant too! O Restaurant offers gourmet dining for all three meals, with a focus on fresh seafood and local ingredients. Order cocktails and fresh juices by the pool, and don’t miss sunset from the Rooftop Sky Lounge above the restaurant.
  • The beach at Las Terrazas Resort is one of the few left in Ambergis Caye that actually slops into the sea (as opposed to a sea wall). But the island is not known for its beaches, and you’ll spend more time here by the pool and out on a boat enjoying the reef. When you get too hot and really want some salty ocean water, take a dive off the end of the dock into the clear swimming hole, or take a kayak out for a spin.
  • Take advantage of available babysitting to get out and dive and snorkel. Las Terrazas works with one of the island’s top PADI dive shops for diving and snorkeling classes.
  • If calm and quiet is more your speed for time away from your kiddos, unwind and revitalize with a selection of body treatments, facials, and massages at Serenity Spa.
  • Family-friendly activities beyond the resort—accessible by bicycle, golf cart, or boat—include boat rentals, Secret Beach, a chocolate and candy store, and a playground in town. If you’re up for a full day excursion, you can hop back to the mainland for a day for Mayan ruins, ziplining, cave tubing, and more.

Traveler Reviews

Absolutely loved this resort! Our family of 11 just returned from the best vacation! We stepped off the plane and were greeted by a driver who took our bags and drove us to our boat which took us to the resort. We were immediately welcomed at the resort with a super friendly staff. They were quick to grab our luggage and show us the resort and answer any questions we had. The rooms were great, the food on the resort was very good, the drinks were great. Every single staff member was so nice, so accommodating, fun to talk to, and truly wanted us to have a great time – which we did! Something that we loved was that they made a point to get to know us, referring to us as “The Big Family”. Concierge went out of their way to help us plan a couple excursions, we ordered groceries that were delivered and put away by the time we arrived.. The pool area was super fun, we had a fabulous dinner at the rooftop restaurant, breakfast was delicious, we loved every bit of it! We are thankful for a fun family Thanksgiving vacation!

This is not a review from a first time visitor, this was our 9th stay at Las Terrazas. And we keep returning for a very good reason, there is simply no better place on earth. The resort is a perfect fit for my wife and I and recently we have started bringing our older teenage kids, friends and family. The food is outstanding, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the customer service is top notch. As a diverse family, we have a wide variety of expectations. My wife prefers to sit and read and enjoy a few drinks from the bar. My sons prefer to fish, kayak, snorkel and be active. My daughter and I like to dive at the reef and relax by the pool and beach. At LT you can do it all and everyone can do their own thing. We enjoyed trips in to town, visiting the neighboring resorts, and exploring “the neighborhood” but we were always happy that our base was Las Terrazas. Thanks to all of the amazing staff. We will be back again soon!
