Meals and Lodging At Pelican Beach - South Water Caye

Pelican Beach Resort - South Water Caye was such a great place to vacation for our family. It is comfortable and nice without feeling fancy. Our cabana was up a flight of stairs facing East, which meant we had incredible views and strong winds that kept our room cool day and night. We left our french-style doors open all day long and shut them at night, leaving just thes screens open to allow the wind to blow through. The views from our balcony were incredible and the outside space more than doubled the size of our room. We even got to watch the local osprey fly back and forth from her nest to the trees near our deck daily. 

Just down the stairs from our room was a short path to the beach and several swim docks where you could relax off the sand. There were kayaks and stand-up-paddle boards we could use as well as sand toys for the kids and snorkel gear for everyone. 

At  the lodge building, they had Jenga and corn hole games set up outside, plenty of books in the library and they even brought out the traditional Garifuna drums for us to listen and try out ourselves. The bar was open to order drinks and they had fresh water, juice, coffee and home-made cookies available all day long. 

Each meal was served during a two-hour window, and the next meal was written on the menu board so you would know what to expect. The chef was great at accommodating the kids, splitting the meals and making kid-friendly versions when needed. Tyler, who greeted and served us daily made special treats for the kids when they ate their meals, and was such a wonderful person. He truly made us feel at home and yet still special with each meal. The meals included some traditional Garifuna food and tropical island cuisine, as well as some favorites like chicken strips and pasta. Each meal had a choice of entree, and we were never disappointed. The food was filling, delicious and beautifully presented. We felt spoiled!
