This is the largest hotel in Belize City, and the only one with a real resort feel to it. The massive lobby area lets out into the hotel's casino, two movie theaters, a shopping arcade, an eight-lane bowling alley, a salon, and various restaurants and bars. The hotel is set right on the water's edge a little bit north of downtown and is built as one long six-story structure so that every room has an ocean view. The rooms are all large and well equipped, with either one king bed or two full-size beds, a working desk, large bathrooms, and plush bathrobes. The junior suites are a little bit larger and have private oceanfront balconies. The casino here is definitely one of the prime nightlife attractions in the country. The Princess also has a full-service marina and dive shop. The Radisson definitely feels a bit more elegant and better maintained, but the Princess trumps it in terms of facilities and nightlife.
