Does Robert’s Grove Resort have a room near the ocean for a family of 4?
The 2-bedroom suite with ocean view sleeps a family of 4 and is steps from the beach.
We’re planning a family vacation for Belize and trying to research when the best time to visit Belize is for beach activities and good weather. We have two young kids who love the water. When would you recommend to visit?
Generally, December to April are the best months to visit Belize for good beach weather. Peak high season is the weeks around Christmas and New Year’s in late December and early January. If you visit in February or March you’ll get slightly smaller crowds but still great weather. There’s another bump in tourist arrivals around Easter and spring breaks.
