Itza Lodge

Belize


The biggest place to stay on the island has 12 hardwood rooms with ocean views and private bathrooms in the main lodge and 12 smaller rooms with shared bathrooms in a smaller wing. Meals are served in a lovely thatched open-air dining room with views over the Caribbean to nearby Half Moon Caye.

The social heart of the lodge is the large common area which has a large map of the atoll painted on the floor and is filled with folk art and musical instruments from around the globe. There are stand-up paddleboards and kayaks for guest use, as well as a DVD collection for those quiet island evenings.

The new owner plans to construct a gift shop, spa, hot tub and tiki bar. Rooms will eventually have air-con, and prices may rise accordingly.
