Fodor's Expert Review Harbour View Cottages
14 Fort St., Belize City, Belize District, Belize Fodor's Choice
An oasis in the middle of an often-sweltering city, Harbour View positions rooms and cottages around a lush, shaded garden, just up the street from the BELIZE sign and the Baron Bliss Lighthouse. (If you need more cooling-off than relaxing in one of the seats in the garden provides, there's always a dip in one of the two pools here.) Rooms, with wood floors, are decorated in a riot of tropical colors. We recommend opting for the similarly furnished and more spacious cottages; they run only BZ$50 more than the rooms. Many of your fellow guests are here to partake of the daily yoga and meditation classes and spa treatments, but that is not a prerequisite for staying here. Under the same ownership, the vegan/vegetarian Martha’s Café sits right across the street. The entire property is no-smoking.
