The Itza Resort sits right nest to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which includes Half Moon Caye (Bird Sanctuary) and the Blue Hole. It's located literally minutes from the Blue Hole. This is an eco-friendly, family owned and operated resort, which focuses on diving & snorkeling at the Lighthouse Reef Atoll. The Itza Resort has been owned by the same family (from 1967) before Belize was Belize. Their mission - to balance commerce, conservation and community into an amazing vacation adventure.
