The evening is very relaxing as you enjoy a starry night, the fresh gentle breeze and a quiet setting.
Captain Morgan’s Retreat is located only about 3.5 miles north of San Pedro Town on Ambergris Caye. Captain Morgan’s is a popular destination for people of all ages, yet the resort retains a private, intimate atmosphere that guests find irresistible and unforgettable. The retreat also offers honeymoon packages and can assist with wedding plans and arrangements, tours and activities either inland or on the water.
As one dinner guest told Ambergris Today this Tuesday night: “Charming elegance, great entertainment, fabulous food, excellent guest services, and an alluring setting…wow, what else can I ask for. My dream vacation has come true. I’ll definitely be back to visit this amazing place!”
