Fabulous Vacation at Captain Morgan's 5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed by: Gia Craig, Thu Apr 28 2005

We arrived for our second visit to Ambergis Caye and were promptly greeted at the airport by staff from Captain Morgans who loaded our luggage onto their boat, let us grab a cold beer and we were off. After a 5 minute boat ride we arrived at Captain Morgan's Retreat and were greeted by our host for the week Malcolm Poulton. He showed us around the property,which is breathtaking. It is large enough so everyone is not on top of each other but small enough to allow the staff to focus on the personal treatment they give to each guest.

Throughout our vacation we were given personal attention as were all of the guests. They made sure that our activities (fishing, snorkeling, sunset cruise, massage) were all taken care of and that we enjoyed and were happy with each of the activities. The highlight of the week was an all day fishing trip. Our group of 4 was taken on a private boat where we attempted many forms of fishing. While we did not have much success with our trolling for big game we struck payday when we dropped our lines and did some bottom fishing. We came up with Nassau Grouper, many varieties of Snapper, Barracuda and several others. We even hooked a black tip shark but were unable to get him into the boat. Next it was off to a private beach where our captain cleaned and grilled our fish and added in some sides to make a complete lunch. It was delicious! We even had enough fish to give to another larger group who was docked there at the same time as us. After eating, we took a short ride to an area to do some snorkeling. Jumping into the water felt like jumping into a fishtank. The water is the most beautiful clear aqua blue that you could ever imagine and we were able to see some exciting marine life including a 3ft shark, sting rays, an eel and many colorful fish.

As I mentioned this was our second trip to Ambergis Caye. Last year we stayed at Journey's End which was fine but beautiful beach, the 2 swimming pools (one with swim-up bar) and most importantly, the personal attention given by all of the staff at Captain Morgan's is what sets them apart. Cheers to Mally for a great vacation!!

We honeymooned at Cpt Morgans and Loved it! The place was beautiful and the people were unbelievably friendly, best bar tenders around, Shaba and the gang took great care of us. We have traveled to many beautiful place but cannot wait to get back to Cpt Morgan's and relax.

Well, what can I say but, paradise! Captain Morgan's is a great place to stay if you enjoy some laidback peace and quiet...well most of the time. The excellent staff helps your every need. Felix was the activities guide while we were there and informed us of the weeks' trips for snorkeling, diving, and mayan ruins. The same trips may be found in town for a cheaper price, but the resort prices include all travel (boats or air) and usually drinks and or food. The trip to Lamani ruins was really fun! The snorkeling with Reuban adn Tony was really cool. Never thought I would swim with sharks. The resort was nice with two pools, restaurant, and white beaches. However, there is so much sea grass so u cant walk into the ocean. If you visit off-season expect rain and the swim up bar wasnt really open. There was a lot of construction going on at Morgans as well as up the beach. The storm killed our electricity for about 10-12 hours (mostly at night) and for some reason the toilets wouldnt flush. Because Morgan's is 3 miles north of town, you have to either take a water taxi (5us each way) or catch the Morgan's boat into town if they are going (free). We even flagged a Morgan's boat down on the wrong pier and they stopped and picked us up! They are very very nice people. I would definately visit again, but might want to try places south of town. There are definately good points and bad points, btu everyone is a critic, but overall Captain Morgan's is a nice place to stay.
