San Pedro Summer: The Ultimate Family Sanctuary
Planning a family summer getaway often feels like a choice between luxury for parents or fun for kids. At The Phoenix Resort, we believe you should not have to choose.
Our central, walkable location on Front Street means you are not tethered to a golf cart or a remote resort shuttle. You have the freedom to explore the heart of San Pedro at your own pace. This is the true Go Slow way. From spacious suites to reef adventures, here is why your family belongs in our sanctuary this summer.
From the reef to the dock: Summer adventures at The Phoenix are all about real experiences. We connect families with local experts to create memories that last long after the vacation ends.

Summer Adventures for All Ages
Beyond the Screen Fishing for Memories
Making memories on the water. Our reef fishing trips are a favorite for families looking to experience the natural beauty of Belize together.
One of the most popular summer activities for our younger guests is a half day reef fishing trip. As you can see from our recent guests and their big catches, there is nothing quite like the thrill of the first tug on the line. Our local guides do not just take you to the fish. They teach kids about the different species and the importance of our reef ecosystem.
Education Underwater
A short boat ride takes you to Hol Chan Marine Reserve. It is a natural aquarium where kids can see sea turtles and colorful fish in shallow, calm water. This makes it the perfect first snorkel experience.
Sunset at Boca Del Rio
Just a stroll away is the Boca Del Rio Beach Park. With a playground right on the sand and plenty of shade, it is the perfect spot for your kids to meet local children while you enjoy the Caribbean sunset.
