Offering an outdoor pool and beachfront dining in the Al Fresco restaurant, Beaches and Dreams Boutique Hotel is located on the longest beach in Belize. It has a furnished dock with loungers, free WiFi and several common areas to relax, including a rooftop overlooking the Mayan Mountains. The six Boutique Hotel Suites include AC, a mini-fridge, sitting area, and a large private deck overlooking the pool and Caribbean Sea. The rooms on the top and bottom floor each have a queen, double bed, and a pull-out futon, while the two middle rooms are our family rooms with a little extra space and a queen, double/single bunk bed, and a pull-out futon, so that each kid in a family of 5 can have their own bed! Cabana style rooms feature tiled floors and hardwood accents throughout and are perfect for a couple or small family with a king bed and fold down futon. Enjoy a peaceful night's sleep listening to the sea or take in a sunrise from the hammock chair on your porch. The Treehouse, elevated on stilts like a traditional Belizean home to capture the ocean breezes, is nestled into a giant, fruiting mango tree. Designed for a family of five, this room features a double bed downstairs and 3 twin beds upstairs in a full loft. Although our only room not directly on the beach, it's still only 40 yards from the ocean and is a great value for larger groups! All guests of Beaches and Dreams enjoy free kayak, bicycle and paddle-board use. There is golf cart rental, spa services and an onsite licensed tour operator to help book excursions. Beaches and Dreams Boutique Hotel is 2.5 hour drive from Belize City International airport, but will arrange a 15 minute flight on the jungle planes that leave hourly. Families in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a stay with kids.

Guest Reviews:
- "This place really exceeded expectations. The location was fantastic. Food was excellent. The best thing was the staff. They were absolutely the best. I can’t say enough good things about everyone I encountered." - "The property was clean with daily maid services and the grounds were well maintained each day. The staff stayed on the property so if you needed anything they were available. My husband has a shellfish allergy and is a vegetarian, and I don’t like seafood. The chef prepared delicious meals for us each meals."

- "Very comfortable and family oriented. I enjoyed my time." - "From the warm welcome at check-in to the friendly faces throughout my stay at Almond Beach was truly exceptional. The two gentlemen at the front desk went above and beyond, making me feel valued and at home. Despite some disappointing past experiences touring in my own country as a local, here I was treated like a guest who truly mattered. The property, the service, and the atmosphere were all perfect, I had previously booked for one night and went ahead and extended my stay. I will definitely be returning! And highly recommend!"
