We were there in May of 2001 and LOVED IT!!! We stayed on the island called Ambergris Key at the Sun Breeze hotel. It's about ten steps from the front gate of the airport. We went diving every day and tried a few different shops. We were happiest with Amigos del Mar (see if Robbie is still there.) The diving was FANTASTIC (even compared to California)!
There was a little cafe right next to the hotel that would take your dinner request in the morning and order the fresh produce/ingredients from the main land for that evening. It was very nice. Also, take the water taxi down to a restaurant called Mambo, tha was the best food we had on the island.
Be sure to pack long sleeves, light weight pants and plenty mosquito spray just to be sure.
We had a wonderful time overall. The local diving is great and the Blue Hole was an experience. Lighthouse reef was spectacular as well.
Congratualtions!
I hope you have a good time.
Jim.
