Blue Tang Inn

We had a delightful 3-night stay at the Blue Tang Inn on Ambergris Caye. On Friday, Reuben picked us up and jetted us across vibrant downtown San Pedro, out to the beach at the end of main street. Robert checked us in and got us signed up for a sunset cruise, on the hotel's sailboat Sirena Azul. Our spacious accommodations had beach views, a working kitchen, a massive shower, and heaven-sent climate control and air-conditioning. If there wasn't so much cool stuff to do, I could've spent a very happy vacation reading on the sun-deck and lounging by the pool. No lounging for us just yet, we got refreshed and then strolled out the beach entrance and onto their pier where we were introduced to Stalwart Captain George and Ebullient First Mate Edwin. After an enchanting cruise, reclined on the bow deck enjoying the Caribbean breeze and clear teal waters, Edwin came round with fresh ceviche and limitless libations, we admired the coast of the island as well sailed down to a prime spot for sunset, afterwards we were dropped back at the pier to our hotel, before walking down the beach and finding some Dinner. We went out again on the Sirena Azule the next day for a half-day snorkeling trip. Again Captain George and Edwin know how to run a fun tour! On the way to Hol Cha Edwin caught some Skipjack, and after we’d seen all the Turtles, Rays at Hol Cha and swam with the nurse sharks (attracted in part by the skipjack entrails) we sailed back home enjoying amazingly fresh skipjack Ceviche. As an Aside: I Read the Old Man and the Sea in highschool, and at one point the titular hero prepares himself freshly caught raw fish with saltwater and I've always fantasized about doing the same, Edwin’s Skipjack Ceviche satisfied that craving of more than 20 years. We also were able to arrange a private Birding tour with Edwin the next day, he procured a boat and toured us through the lagoons, mangroves and out to distant nameless Cayes frequented only by traditional fishermen and hundreds of sea birds. The setting sun lit up the mangroves and colored the white birds pink in the evening light. A remarkably personal and rewarding opportunity. I definitely recommend booking your stay at the Blue Tang, and hope to be able to return soon.!

We have loved staying at Blue Tang over the years. Overall the hotel is great. Not a grand breakfast, however you should just walk down the beach and get your food. Unfortunately this last trip was by far the worst, but it really has nothing to do with the hotel itself, but the amount of growth around it. The abundance of business has increased the number of people, both locals and tourists, which has caused a significant increase in the noise during the late hours. We were here for 5 nights. 3 of those nights we were either woke up by loud music or by the sounds of motor bikes. Don’t get me wrong, I understand there will be some noise, however this is different. When you have golf carts that are carrying a large speaker blasting music and are sitting in the street just outside of your window at 11pm, 1am, 2am. It felt as though our bed was inside of a club. With the motor bikes, this is ppl sitting in the street just reving the engine over and over. Nonstop. The peeling out. Coming back. Reving the engine. Nonstop. Repeat. I do highly recommend Blue Tang overall. I would say that the noise level is probably much lower if you get a room that is off the street on the south side of the property.

The blue tang is a fantastic place to stay. The inn is so comfortable and homey. Everything is very clean and well attended to. But the staff is what makes the place. They're so attentive, heartfelt, and thoughtful. This trip my mother-in-law wasn't able to get around on her own and Robert helped us get a wheel chair from the hospital. When we left the chair tucked away in the breakfast area and it started to rain, the staff moved it under the building so it wouldn't get wet. Things like that go a long way. We look forward to our next visit.

Blue Tang Inn – San Pedro, Belize ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️||We absolutely loved our stay at Blue Tang Inn! The sunrise views each morning were breathtaking, and the location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of San Pedro and within walking distance to great restaurants, bakeries, shops, and local attractions. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a cozy bed and kitchenette that made us feel right at home.||The activity board outside the Palapa kept us updated on local events. They even offer a sunset cruise for a great price. On one morning, we met our fishing guide right off the pier outside the inn — incredibly convenient — and later took our fresh catch just steps away to Palapa’s Grill to be prepared for us. On another evening, we enjoyed a fantastic dinner of snapper from that same catch deliciously prepared 3 different ways at Jambel’s Jerk Pit, only a short walk away.||The staff was incredibly welcoming, especially Daisy, who made us laugh every day. When we asked where to get the best Chimole, she smiled and said, “At my grandma’s house!” Breakfasts under the Palapa were another highlight — fresh fruit, Fry Jacks, Meat Pies, Belizean pastries, and French Toast. Each morning they shared a taste of Belize while we enjoyed a stunning ocean view.||Blue Tang Inn truly captures the warmth, charm, and flavor of Belize. We can’t wait to return!

Went on your snorkeling tours through blue tang, full day hol chan, shark ray alley and Caye Caulker, as well as the half day Mexico rocks tours. We had Captain George and Edwin as our guide. |Amazing days. Even with rain on one of our snorkels and less experienced snorkelers in our group we had amazing experiences. Fish varieties, turtles, octopus, barracudas, reef sharks, sting rays and more.|With drinks and snacks on board as well as information about the region and history what an experience.

This was our fourth stay at the Blue Tang. We keep coming back! You can’t beat the coziness, service, and proximity to everything that is happening in San Pedro. It’s great to walk out your room and down the beach for dinner or drinks. Or walk out the dock to the Palapa!

We can't say enough about Captain George and Edwin. We did the Hole Chan/Shark Ray Alley/Caye Caulker and Mexico Rock trips with them - what an experience! They were a lot of fun to be around and Edwin showed us the amazing aquatic species Belize has to offer. There are a lot of options on the island, but we'll for sure go with the team at the Blue Tang Inn for our next adventure.

It was so good, we asked about monthly rates! This place is absolutely perfect. The location is within walking distance of Beachfront restaurants and shops. It was a perfect view of the ocean, a charming pool and it really feels as though you're in a private community. Daily, home-cooked breakfast included. The entire boutique hotel is immaculately groomed with attention to detail. I've visited San Pedro 3x and won't stay anywhere else. Highly recommend.
