Set directly on a Caribbean Sea beach facing the Belize Barrier Reef, Xanadu Island Resort offers a serene, eco-chic atmosphere amid palm trees. The accommodations, ranging from airy studios to three-bedroom suites, provide amenities like kitchens, sofas, dining tables, and separate living areas, making self-catering a convenient option for families. Children under 12 stay free, and the resort provides complimentary loaner bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards for exploring the island and its waters. An outdoor beachfront pool, complemented by a wading pool, offers places for relaxation and play, alongside opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving on the nearby reef. The resort's location, just 2 km from John Greif II Airport, provides easy access to San Pedro town, which offers additional dining and activity options. Xanadu is well-suited for families seeking an active, self-sufficient vacation with direct beach access and marine exploration. Babysitting services and supervised kids' activities add flexibility for parents.
