Things to know out of the gate:
- They only serve beer and wine - no hard alcohol or cocktails. There’s a good bar a block away though.
- Rooms don’t have a TV
- It’s right next to the airport. You will hear the small planes taking off and landing all day. It’s quieter at night after the last flights are out though.
- Even if you get an oceanfront suite, you’re not really looking out at a post-card-perfect, wide-open Caribbean ocean. Ramon’s has a few docks right out on the beach with boats and tours in and out all day. There are also hotels to the right and left of Ramon’s that have their own docks, tours, etc.
- It’s still pleasant, but if you’re really looking to stare out over unobstructed crystal-clear water, book a resort north of San Pedro. Or go to Secret Beach for a day.
- The pool is beautiful and like a little grotto, but it was small and really close to the restaurant area. ?? I didn’t use it because I knew I would feel weird in there with people eating so close by.
- Tourists on Ambergris Caye/San Pedro tend to be older Americans/Canadians, or families with kids. The only visible POCs I saw at Ramon’s were the staff and me. Nothing wrong with that, but as a solo female POC traveler, I tend to enjoy being around more diverse groups of people.
I will say that grounds of Ramon’s are beautiful - it’s jungle-y, there are meandering paths and it’s very clean. The rooms are all hut-type structures. My room was a double queen bungalow in the back, which is great since I like to put my luggage on the second bed. It was spacious, clean and came with a coffee maker set up. I loved that it had plenty of outlets and light switches and the AC worked great. Water pressure could have been better, but I never expect it to be great when traveling through tropical countries.
I did go to the restaurant twice - once for lunch and once for dinner. Food was okay, but there are more authentic, less expensive places nearby. I also got a scrub and a massage in the little spa hut on the beach, which was great.
In general, I would say Ramon’s is a good option if you’re older and/or traveling with kids. If you’re solo and/or POC and/or younger, stay at a guesthouse in the middle of town or on Caye Cauker. - via
