A vacation in Belize is a wonderful combination of jungle and sea in Central America. The convenience of an easy-to-understand exchange rate ($2 Belize to $1 U.S.) and English as the primary language make it even more attractive to visitors. On Ambergris Caye, the biggest Belizean island in the Caribbean, is the resort complex Paradise Villas run by several different rental companies, each of which operates independently of each other.
Paradise Villa Vacation Rental is in San Pedro Town, the largest town on Ambergris Caye island. It offers one- and two-bedroom condos in a resort setting. Its beach has a long dock to lounge and a garden area with a pool for guests. As of August 2010, rates were as low as $90 for a one-bedroom condo and $135 for a two-bedroom.
