  Luxurious and rejuvenating honeymoon

  Our week at Ambergris Cay was one of pure luxury and relaxation. It was the perfect place to honeymoon! We both noticed that we came back from our trip truly rejuvenated - thanks to the location and the resort and its staff. Our island host, Shervin, was welcoming and warm, and extremely helpful! He was always available and would check in with us a couple of times a day to ensure we were having exactly the trip we hoped for. Whenever we had a question, he was a quick text away (and he’d respond quickly!) or he’d come find us at breakfast or dinner to talk through whatever we needed or were curious about. Shervin made sure that our trip was as carefree as possible, though we know he works very hard to make everything go smoothly. Thank you, Shervin! Given that the resort is on its own island, we wondered if we’d spend most of the time reading on the beach (which we certainly did). But, there were more activities/things to do than we needed, and each one was very fun. We recommend taking the e bikes around the island on your first day there to get a feel for the island. Jerome, the tennis and pickleball instructor, led an informative lesson (and made us really work out, which was a nice change of pace from our otherwise lazy trip). We rewarded ourselves with a massage in an over-the-water bungalow that was restoring. We took out stand up paddle boards a couple of times at the club house, which was a blast too. Highlight was going to the Little Ambergris Cay floating tiki bar - definitely do this, even if you don’t drink, so you can lounge in the water while having snacks and drinks. Mostly we spent our time on our own little section of beach outside our bungalow, in our plunge pool, and walking out in the ocean for hundreds of feet (we could still stand and walk that far out). And of course, having a glass of wine while watching the unbelievable sunset. The food was wonderful. There is one restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner and another that serves lunch. There were a ton of options for lunch - we couldn’t have gotten through the menu if we had something different every day. Breakfast and dinner had fewer options, but everything we had was delicious and worth repeating. There were specials each night for dinner, so we chose special and then a recurring option and were perfectly content! The servers (particularly Evelyn, Miguel, and Luis) at the restaurants made the trip so welcoming and warm - they would call us by name, remember things about us (including things we liked to eat and drink), and anticipate our every need. Marvin, one of the bartenders, made one of the best margaritas we’ve ever had. It was fun to get to know them, and by the end of the trip, we were excited to come back to see them! The bungalow was cozy and comfortable, and was serviced twice a day. Waking up and opening the (remote controlled) blinds to see the ocean was fabulous. Thank you to the incredible team at Ambergris Cay, from the pilots of the puddle jumper plane to the housekeeping staff to the spa staff to the wonderful servers and kitchen staff to our island host, Shervin! This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that we plan to do everything we can to come back and replicate!

  Quiet Luxury With Endless Ocean Views

  This was our first time staying at Ambergris Cay. The vibe was quiet and peaceful. Staff were very friendly and clearly wanted to ensure that the guests had a wonderful, relaxing experience. We wanted to especially commend and thank Chef George for an outstanding dinner at the Private Chef’s Table. Every bite of the multi-course meal was a burst of flavor. His skill and innovative cooking were top notch. Don’t miss the opportunity to dine with him! It may cost extra, but it’s worth every penny! Enjoy!

  A Truly Special Private Island Experience

  Ambergris Cay - December 1-7, 2025 My husband and I have really come to love the smaller, more boutique-style properties, for their more relaxed and quiet locations, no crowds, no buffets—just delicious à la carte restaurants from Michelin-star chefs. We also enjoy a private villa, our own swim-out pool, either overlooking or on the beach. My husband found Ambergris Cay in February, and I was immediately in love with the spectacular amenities on this private island off of Turks and Caicos. We did a lot of research and for what we were wanting for this vacation, we booked with Ambergris Cay. From the moment the booking was done through our travel agent, Jonique, their Concierge Specialist, assisted my husband with every question or request that he had. She made every effort to ensure he was heard and that his requests could be honoured. Upon arriving at Ambergris Cay on their private Cessna from the main airport, you are made to feel welcome and appreciated. The warmth of the staff is felt the moment you step off the plane. The grounds and facilities were immaculately clean from the very beginning. Every space felt thoughtfully maintained, from the bathrooms to the paths and shared areas, with clear attention to detail throughout the property. We stayed in Villa 17, the furthest of the villas, for the most privacy. This was a request my husband made, and fortunately, the team was able to accommodate his request. Everyone has their own electric golf cart to use on the island, and it made it all that much more special of an experience. The week unfolded beautifully. The weather, the accommodations, the team of people who love what they do. We absolutely loved every moment. The food was great, but we would have loved a little more variety, perhaps taking the ingredients on hand and offering different options more frequently. This was our only recommendation when it came to the food. Otherwise, if you wanted something, they were more than happy to accommodate your request. We had the main pool to ourselves for three days, once we had the opportunity to enjoy it. The team was so gracious and allowed us to play our own music while we enjoyed this very special place on the resort all to ourselves. We know that it was due to the time of the season, but we took full advantage of it by having lunch there and enjoying time alone while getting to know some of the staff. Samuel is the one to be highlighted here. He was very attentive, and we really enjoyed getting to know him while we relaxed by, and danced in, the pool. There were many other team members to highlight, and name by name. James—our ambassador (butler)—was extremely attentive, helpful, responsive, and truly cared to make our entire stay one that was stress-free, relaxing, and fun too. Thank you so very much, James. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Evelyn—she was one of our main restaurant attendants. She was funny, engaging, attentive, and she truly cared too. We got to know her a little better than some of the others, and we got emotionally engaged in a very important milestone in her life. We wish you all the best with your first home, Evelyn! Be sure to send me pictures and updates! Jerome—he was our pickleball instructor. My husband and I had not played pickleball, but we wanted to learn. Jerome was a fantastic instructor, patient and kind, especially since the heat was a little too much for me during our lessons. He gave us ample breaks and always encouraged us to take our time, get in the shade, and he would continue his lesson while we cooled down. Thank you, Jerome! We have joined a club back home, and we look forward to taking what you taught us into our future pickleball experiences. Chantel and Chantal—our fellow Canadians. They too were part of the restaurant team, and they were so bubbly and fun. Being from Canada, we did have a lot more to share and relate to. In fact, Chantal’s family lives an hour from us, which made it all that much more special. Thank you for connecting with us, and enjoy your time at the resort during the holidays! Other team members who made our vacation so fun and memorable are: Marlin—for the Hobie Cat lessons you gave my husband, and to Captain Jack for giving him full reign during his second trip around the bay. Marlin and Keno - thank you for being so much fun on our sunset cruise, and for taking us to the Tiki Bar too! Kudos to Keno, for the stories - and we’ll always remember how you got your name. Marvin and Pedro—two of the bartenders. I wish I had recorded the names of the others. Everyone was wonderful! I’m sure I’m missing others, but to the entire team at Ambergris Cay—from the pilot, the concierge team, the management team, and every single person working behind the scenes to make our vacation memorable, relaxing, and fun—thank you! For travellers looking for a private, boutique, luxury experience, the value is absolutely there. While this is not a budget vacation, everything from the accommodations to the service and overall experience reflected what we paid for and more. This vacation came at a very special time in our lives, and it kicked off the next chapter of our lives so beautifully. My husband and I want to thank you so very much!! We absolutely look forward to returning as early as next year. Tips: If bugs tend to like you, I suggest bringing bug repellent in cream form or even a Thermacell that you can place at your feet while dining. I didn’t bring mine the first night and ended up with quite a few bug bites. Nothing serious, but I did need to apply topical cream for the itchiness. Once I brought my Thermacell on the other nights, it was perfectly fine. Bring your snorkel gear to the Tiki Bar. My husband brought his on our vacation but left it in the room. If you want to snorkel, be sure to bring it with you to the Tiki Bar area, as we saw starfish and other small fish there. Bring water shoes. When the tide is low, the beach can be very shallow and soft, and having water shoes makes it much more enjoyable. Book your excursions as soon as you arrive. We really wanted to do a boat tour or fishing tour, but they were already booked. I would have preferred that over the sunset cruise, as we had spectacular sunsets every night from our own villa. I’d also like to add that the property was immaculately clean. Not once did we feel that the grounds, bathrooms, or any part of the property were anything less than exceptionally well maintained. The attention to detail was evident everywhere.
