Complimentary bottled water is available from a 5 gallon bottle that is connected to the small faucet at the kitchen sink. If you run out of drinking water, please contact the Front Desk so we can replace the 5 gallon bottle under the sink.

Housekeeping

Daily cleaning is scheduled between 9am and 4pm. If you wish to decline housekeeping service, please hang the Do Not Disturb sign on your door.

Forget Something?

We have many items available upon request. You can find a partial list of available items in the bathroom. Don’t see something you need? Please contact the Front Desk for assistance.

Fitness Center

Our fitness center is located upstairs from the lobby, next to Sol Spa. If you’re interested in a more strenuous workout than you can do in our fitness center, please ask the Front Desk for a complimentary day pass to a nearby gym or CrossFit facility.

Yoga

Phoenix guests can attend yoga classes on a complimentary basis at Zen Belize. We provide transportation. Intermediate classes are offered every day Monday through Friday at 845am. A more relaxed yoga for all levels is offered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10am. Please inquire at the Front Desk.

Other complimentary activities that may be available during your visit include adult and children’s painting classes, hair braiding, wine tasting, chocolate tasting, rum tasting, s’mores, and face painting.

Golf Carts

For guests wanting to explore the island, we have golf carts available on-site for rent. Please see the Front Desk to arrange a rental and for recommendations on where to go.

The Environment

The Phoenix is committed to conserving the natural resources on Ambergris Caye and in Belize. We change linens every two days to help conserve water and electricity and to minimize the use of detergent. Guests who prefer daily linen changes can place the cards located on their bedside tables on their beds. Guests who prefer less frequent changes can inform the Front Desk. Towels hung on rods or hooks will be left for reuse. Towels placed on the floor or in the tub will be replaced with fresh towels. Guests can also contribute to the conservation effort by turning off lights, fans, TVs, and the air conditioning when not in use.

Pool Bar

The pool bar is open from 10am to 5pm daily, serving food and drinks. The pool bar is for use by Phoenix guests only.

Both of our pools are sanitized using salt water chlorinators, so they will be gentler on your skin, eyes, and hair than traditional chlorine pools. There is an outdoor shower located between Buildings C and D for rinsing off prior to entering the pool. The depths of our pools range from 2 to 4 feet. Diving into the pool and running around the pools is strictly prohibited. Glass is not permitted in or around the pools. Towels or personal items left unattended at the pool for more than 30 minutes will be brought to the pool bar. Pools are for use by Phoenix guests only.

Red Ginger

Red Ginger is open everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 7am to 9:30pm. You can enjoy food and drink in our air-conditioned dining room, on our outdoor patio, via room service on your veranda or in your suite, or by the pool during the day.

You can order by sending a Whatsapp to the restaurant (+501-613-8409) or the Front Desk (+501-610-3371).

Sol Spa

Sol Spa, our onsite full service spa, offers a range of massages, body treatments, soaks, scrubs, facials, manicures, pedicures, and more. For a full list of treatments, please see the brochure on your entry table or visit the Spa. Sol Spa is open daily from 9am-5pm.

Things To Do

Belize has a lot to offer, and we are excited to show it off. We highly recommend that you stop by the front desk and ask us to tell you about all the trips and tours that are available.
We are committed to booking our guests with the best qualified licensed guides in the country. We have personally gone on these tours and specialize in creating custom itineraries that provide memorable experiences. To book a tour, please visit or call our Front Desk. We will provide a voucher for each activity, which you will present to the tour operator. The cost will be billed to your Phoenix account for payment upon check out. Please be sure to discuss your tour in detail with our Front Desk, including what to bring, what to wear, how strenuous the trip may be, tipping, etc. We are here to make sure you get the most enjoyment and best value out of your vacation experience.

If you have any changes to your schedule, all tours are fully refundable up to 24 hours prior. Cancellations within 24 hours are nonrefundable. All prices below are in US Dollars, subject to 12.5% government tax, and may change from the time of printing this Guest Directory.

Ambergris Caye offers some of the best scuba diving in the world. We arrange diving through highly regarded local dive companies. Local dives take place outside the reef. The dive master chooses which dive sites each morning or afternoon depending on the weather conditions and what sites divers have visited during the previous few days.

We can also assist in setting up trips to the Blue Hole. This tour departs at 5:30am and returns at 5:30pm and involves 3 dives and approximately 2.5 hours of boat travel each way. We recommend this trip for experienced divers and those not prone to sea sickness. This trip needs a min- imum of 10 divers, so having flexibility with scheduling makes it more likely to go on this trip. The cost is approximately $292.50 USD including tax + $40 USD park fee. Gear rental, if needed, is $28.13 USD.

Half day reef fishing - $375 USD for up to 3 guests, $25 USD for each additional guest + tax.

The most popular type of fishing we offer is reef fishing. You will catch mostly snapper, grouper, and jacks while relaxing in a power boat on the Caribbean inside Belize’s Barrier Reef. Guides can filet what you catch and Red Ginger can prepare your fish for lunch and dinner. Please see the restaurant or the Front Desk for more details on this. Full day fishing can be combined with snorkeling and/or a beach barbecue at a cost of $560 USD + tax for up to 4 guests.

Flats Fishing

Full day, private, fly or spin - $560 USD + tax for up to 2 guests

We also work with terrific local guides for flats fishing, and you can catch bonefish, tarpon, and permit. All catch and release, of course. Due to the size and draft of the skiffs used by the guides, only 2 guests are allowed per boat. For full day flats fishing, lunch is not included, but Red Ginger can prepare a box lunch to take with you. For all flats fishing, we need to know your preference for spin or fly casting in advance so that your guide is properly equipped.
