Built on 12 acres, Pirates Paradise served as the hide out for the English Pirate, John Glover, as well as the hiding spot for his treasures.

You don't have to be a fisherman or a diver to enjoy Pirates Paradise Resort. There's excellent snorkeling along the reefs for the advanced and beginner.

Pirates Paradise offers beginning snorkeling instruction for those who wish to experience many of the same thrills as the divers - petting a nurse shark, exploring beautiful coral reefs or, if you're lucky, playing with a school of dolphins.

Each snorkeling trip is a new and different adventure! Snorkel Trips are scheduled each day and are located within minutes of Pirates Paradise.

Our large, comfortable guest rooms are located on the beach with a panoramic view of the reef.

All rooms are centrally air-conditioned and also have ceiling fans.

Each room is furnished with one queen size bed and one single bed. All rooms have private baths with two sinks and a shower.


Main Lodge: The social center for Pirates Paradise is the main lodge building where meals are served. A pre-dinner gathering for hors d'oeuvres and drinks is customary. The large breezy verandah is a wonderful place to enjoy the evening.

Meals: We pride ourselves in providing quality dining complete with fresh fruit, fresh seafood and fresh baked pastries. Meals are a tasty combination of Belizean and American dishes served family-style.

You will be awakened at 6:30 a.m. with fresh coffee or tea served on your cabin verandah. A hearty breakfast of fresh fruit, cereal, eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage and fresh baked goods is served from approximately 7:00 - 9:00 a.m.

Management will have talked with you the prior evening about whether you prefer to take lunch or return to the lodge for lunch. Lunch at the resort is a fairly substantial meal. Hors d'oeuvres and cocktails are served at 6:30. Dinner at 7:00 is the big meal of the day and the focal point of the evening. Entrees vary from seafood, chicken, pork and beef.

Bar: Our bar is well stocked with at least Scotch, Bourbon, Gin, Rum, Vodka, Tequila, Vermouth and a couple of liqueurs. In addition, we have red & white wine as well as local Belikin beer. Liquor, beer and setups are not included in your package price. Individual tabs are kept, and you can check on your bill at any time during your stay.

At the end of your stay (usually on Friday evening), you can settle up your bill with cash, travelers checks or personal checks. We do not take credit cards.
