The moment you land on Ambergris you sense that the mad rush of modern civilization is far behind. The only streets are sand and nothing is higher than a palm tree. From the airstrip you could walk the short distance down the street to the gateway entrance of Ramon's Village, but there is a hotel golf cart (the standard vehicle on the island) ready to escort you and your baggage off to the reception center. Minutes later you are in your own beach side cabana ready to slip into shorts or a swimsuit.

The focal point of the resort is a large wooden deck which surrounds the freshwater pool, and joins the Restaurant, Purple Parrot lounge, and Gift Shop. You can sunbathe at pool side, or enjoy the shade of coconut palms and thatch roofed Palapas' overlooking the pristine waters of the Caribbean. The Restaurant at Ramon's serves (3) meals a day offering the finest in local seafoods, Chinese, and Cajun Entrees.

Ramon's is a convenient (5) minute walk along the beach, from the Village of San Pedro and its 2500 inhabitants. There are numerous shops, bars and restaurants throughout the village and usually a local athletic competition or cultural event can be witnessed at the Village Park. For your on site entertainment, Ramon's Village offers a Tuesday and Friday Night Bar B Que. with pool side dining and live entertainment from 6:00- 10:00 pm. Sunday mornings are made special with breakfast on the Veranda, while enjoying the music of classical Latin guitarist Renee'.

There is a number of daytime activities from which to choose. Only 1/2 mile offshore lies the worlds second largest barrier reef. Approximately 186 miles in length, it provides some of the best scuba diving in the world. A state of the art dive boat, the "Miss Gina", offers daily trips to two of the Northern Hemispheres (4) living Atolls; Turneffe and Lighthouse (home of the world famous Blue Hole). The shallow waters between the Barrier Reef and Ambergris shoreline offer several world class snorkeling sites and prevailing trade winds also make this area excellent for sailing and wind surfing, all available on the Ramon's pier. Fisherman can choose between big game fish outside the reef and fly fishing in the flats behind the Caye. Catch and release is of course encouraged.

On Land Ramon's offers a choice of vehicles, Bicycles, Motor Scooters, or Golf carts on which you can tour the island and village. Full and half day tours, to the jungles and Mayan ruins of Belize, can be arranged at the hotel reception desk. Perhaps the major attraction at Ramon's Village is its' staff. The people of San Pedro~ primarily of Spanish/ Mayan heritage, are among the most genuine in the world. They are very capable and ready to help however possible.
