Great House Activities and Recreation

Activities and Recreation at The Great House

 
 
 




A wide variety of recreational activities isn't necessarily something everyone requires to enjoy the perfect tropical vacation. While some would prefer a hotel with many different activities available, others are content with very few active recreational options, or they just want an attractive, comfortable place to get away from it all. Even though it doesn't offer an extensive array of active recreational amenities the Great House may still match your specifications precisely.

Golf

Even though the Great House doesn't feature a golf course, it may be feasible to schedule a tee time at a local course if you're hoping to make golf a part of your vacation. The nearest golf course to the Great House is Caye Chapel Golf Course and Marina, 14.9 miles northeast of the hotel. The course has a total length of 6,457 yards, and it is rated as a par 72. The standard greens fees for using this course are as follows: $200. For more information, call (800) 901-8938.

Tennis

The hotel doesn't have tennis courts on site for guests to use, so if you enjoy playing tennis you may want to consider some other options. This isn't troubling to most visitors, who can take advantage of a lot of other activities available at the hotel.

Captain Morgan's Retreat and Coconuts Caribbean Hotel are excellent hotels for tennis that you may also want to consider. These hotels offer some of the area's best tennis amenities, so it may be wise to weigh those options against this hotel before making a final choice.

Entertainment and Nightlife

Travelers who're looking for a trip jam-packed with exciting nightlife and live entertainment might want to look elsewhere. Bear in mind this area is better known for peace and quiet and the hotel doesn't offer live entertainment. Still, if that isn't a grave concern you may find that the Great House is the perfect spot. There are no bars or nightclubs at this hotel, so your sleep won't be disturbed by loud music. Other area hotels provide places where you can spend an evening out, as shown in the following table:

Family Activities

Although travelers can bring their families to the Great House, there aren't very many amenities for families traveling with children.

To assist with this process, you should also consider one of the hotels that is rated best for family vacations.

Water and Fitness

Granted the hotel doesn't have a swimming pool, this doesn't keep it from being a popular place to stay. Because the hotel doesn't have a beach at its doorsteps, many hotel guests spend their time visiting some of Belize's great beaches.

Watersports

Although the hotel doesn't provide any watersports, there are vendors located elsewhere along the coast of Belize. All you have to do is place a few calls, and travelers can be headed toward some great water activities.

Other Recreation

Belize is full of wonderful things to see and do, so you aren't limited to the specific activities the hotel offers on-site. From an afternoon spent dozing on the beach, to a few hours exploring a local market vacationers can experience the best of nature, as well as some cultural enrichment.
