Fodor's Expert Review Orchid Bay Resort

Chunox, Corozal, Belize

Hugging the Corozal Bay in the Orchid Bay area, Orchid Bay Resort boasts silky-soft sands and tranquil sea view and had 12 thatched-roof cabanas all artfully decorated with local wood decor. The property itself is known for the tropical gardens that house 200 species of orchids. Perhaps the resort's most alluring feature is that it's directly in front of the water. While there may not be much to do, the hotel can arrange fishing or snorkeling tours to the reef. Orchid Bay Resort sits an hour's drive away from Corozal in a secluded area of Chunox Village.
