St. George's Caye Resort
My buddy and I visited St. George's Caye Resort to try diving in this area of Belize. We were met at the airport in Belize City by resort staff and taken to the harbor to meet our transfer boat to the island. After a pleasant, short boat ride, we arrived at St. George's private dock. We were met by the island staff who took our bags and had a cold island cocktail ready for us. We were led to the main lodge for check-in and an extra rum floater in our drinks. We were then taken to our overwater bungalow set with two single beds, perfect for two guys. Meals are served in the great room of the main lodge. It is a fixed menu for all meals and served communally. The food was hearty local food packed with flavor and enjoyed by all. Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are available to all guests. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful and treated us like family.
While we were there, the dive boat broke down a couple of times, preventing us from diving. On another day, the one and only divemaster was injured and diving was canceled. We missed 1½ days of diving. We understand that sometimes unavoidable things happen and that they shouldn't spoil your vacation. We spent the downtime in their beautiful pool, sipping island cocktails. The resort refunded us for all the missed dives and was very apologetic. We still made some great dives, including two trips to Turneffe Atoll and local diving which included a lionfish hunt. Overall, a great place, but some improvements could be made to the dive operation.
