The Great House Activities and Recreation

Activities and Recreation at The Great House

An extensive selection of active pursuits isn't necessarily required for a great vacation. While some would be happier staying at a resort with many different activities available, others are perfectly happy with a small selection of recreational amenities, or they just want an attractive, comfortable place to get away from it all. Although the hotel doesn't offer the largest assortment of, recreational activities the Great House may have everything you need for your tropical getaway.

Water and Fitness

Although the hotel doesn't include a swimming pool on-site, this hasn't kept it from being popular. Not having a beach in its front or back yard, many hotel guests set aside some time to explore a few of Belize's pretty beaches.

Tennis

Tennis courts aren't provided by this hotel, so if you want to make tennis a part of your vacation, this isn't the ideal hotel choice. But, this doesn't trouble most guests, who can take advantage of a lot of other activities available at the hotel.

If you are looking for some other choices that are good for tennis, investigate Captain Morgan's Retreat and Coconuts Caribbean Hotel. These hotels have some of the best tennis ratings in the area, so it may be wise to take a minute to consider these other options before making a reservation.

The closest golf course to the Great House is Caye Chapel Golf Course and Marina, located 14.9 miles northeast of the hotel. This par 72 course has a total length of 6,457 yards. The standard greens fees are as follows: $200. If you're interested in finding out more information, you can contact the course at (800) 901-8938.

Family Activities

Although travelers can bring their families to the Great House, there aren't a lot of amenities for kids.
