If you are lucky enough to have a vacation planned to the island of Ambergris Caye, then you are in for a real treat. Between the gorgeous beaches, the warm climate and the incredible cuisine, it's impossible not to have a wonderful time in this idyllic part of Belize.

To take a great vacation and elevate it to the next level, a few suggestions from an insider might be key. Here are some top tips to help you make the most of your Ambergris Caye Belize vacation.

Take Part in Local Festivals and Events

Although many of the wonderful resorts and hotels on Ambergris Caye offer enough to keep guests happy for weeks, make an effort to explore the surrounding area during your vacation. One of the best ways to get a new perspective on the local people and the culture of Belize is to take part in one of the exiting festivals and events held throughout the year on the island.

At the Savor San Pedro Food Festival, you can try amazing dishes from local chefs and dig into traditional specialties. At the world-famous Lobster Fest, you will be able to eat more lobster than ever before, try the local rum and even join in with the traditional dancing.

Choose Centrally-Located Accommodations

Another great tip is to look for a hotel or resort that is located close to a town. For example, the Exotic Caye Beach Resort is near San Pedro, which means that getting to local restaurants, nightlife spots, shopping areas and even attractions is a breeze.

Look to the Past

Along with modern attractions and amenities, a smart way to better understand and appreciate the local culture is to look to the past. A day spent visiting a local museum or exploring ancient Mayan ruins is an incredible way to get to know the island's heritage.

Have Fun on Land and at Sea

Travelers should definitely not leave Ambergris Caye without heading out to sea for some fun in the sun. From deep-sea fishing to scuba diving at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, there is something for everyone off the coast of the island.
