When you think of Belize, you think jungles, romantic getaways to rustic beachfront cottages, exotic wildlife and down-to-earth culture; but you probably don’t think about gaming. However, Belize, one of the smallest countries in the Western hemisphere, is home to six casinos - each waiting to award you for your play. One of those casinos, the Golden Princess Casino in Corozal, presents you with just the right atmosphere to build some winnings while still enjoying the tropical environment around you.
Open weekdays 12AM to 6PM and 24-hours on weekends, the Golden Princess Casino is one of the country’s finest. Enjoy your favorite table games – Blackjack, Poker and Roulette – on the casino’s 19 tables or try your luck with the 500 gaming machines, from traditional Vegas-style slots to the hottest video gaming machines available today.
There are a few options in Corozal when you look for a place to spend the night. Try the Mirador, a four story, 24-room hotel with 360-degree views of the city, the Caribbean and the inlaying jungle. Guests can enjoy satellite television and free wireless Internet access as well as the wondrous views. There’s also Tony’s Inn & Beach Resort, which offers 26 guest rooms, each equipped with plush, comfortable bedding and a private balcony; best of all, the hotel is only steps from the azure waters of the Caribbean.
For meals, the Golden Princess provides a fully stocked buffet – during all operating hours – with an array of international flavors as well as complimentary drinks for gamers. If you want a sit-down meal, head into Corozal to the Cactus Plaza where you can find the tastiest Central American cuisine.
Looking to kick back? Visit the Four Mile Lagoon, an intimate beach environment near the Mexican border. The location is a favorite among tourists and locals alike for swimming and snorkeling. If you want a little more adventure, try your hand at snagging a barracuda or tarpon with one of the many available fishing-tour offices located on the shoreline.
Corozal is a sleepy town, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find entertainment. Tony’s Inn & Beach Resort has a bar frequented by locals, tourists and expatriates if you want a little socializing. They also provide live entertainment most weekends. The nightlife in Belize is much more suited to the romantic variety, since a beachfront walk during sunset is only a stone’s throw away.
There are many other things to do in Corozal as well. The city, according to tour guides, is a great launching point for day trips into the jungles and to nearby villages home to Mayan ruins.
