Ambergris Caye, Belize, Central America, Grand Caribe Belize, Resort

A view from the swim-up bar at Grand Caribe Belize, a prominent condominium resort on Ambergris Caye just north of San Pedro. The bar overlooks the property’s main interconnected pool complex, which includes bridges, shallow lounging areas, and landscaped islands designed to serve the surrounding residential buildings. Swim-up bars became common in Belize’s resort developments beginning in the 2000s as tourism shifted toward larger, full-service coastal properties. Grand Caribe is one of the island’s largest of that era, part of the northern development corridor that has expanded rapidly over the past two decades.

Colorful sarongs, paintings, handmade bags, and souvenirs hang from rustic palm-thatched stalls built directly over the white sand near Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus in southeastern Dominican Republic. These informal beach vendors are part of the longstanding tourism-driven micro-economy that developed along the shoreline between Bayahibe and Dominicus Americanus, where local artisans sell crafts to resort visitors. The improvised wooden structures—some with painted steps and corrugated roofing—reflect the region’s blend of tourism and local entrepreneurship, an essential livelihood for many residents in La Altagracia Province.
