This boutique hotel on the beach in Belize City has just 16 rooms but all of the amenities and services of a much larger resort. Children of all ages are welcomed in room with their parents for another $10 per night and rooms are spacious enough to add a crib or roll-away without becoming too crowded. Kids will love the fresh baked cookies and bananas always available in the lobby. While there is no children’s program as such, The Great House coordinates guided tours for families with a variety of interests. From cave tubing and snorkeling to river rafting and hikes through the rain forest, the staff works to provide exactly what meets the interests of your family. Once a private home, The Great House is a block from the beach and an easy walk into downtown. The Smoky Mermaid Restaurant on property is one of the most popular in the city and open to the public even if you don’t choose to stay here.
