What is the drinking water like on Ambergris Caye?
The town of San Pedro has a municipal water supply with chlorinated water that is safe is drink. Some hotels and houses get water from shallow wells – the water is usually okay but may taste brackish. Cisterns also provide some water. Check with your hotel to find out if tap water is okay to drink. If not, the hotel will supply potable water, or you can buy bottled water from local groceries and shops. Ice at hotels and restaurants is almost always made from purified water. Most visitors eat and drink as they would at home and do not have stomach problems.
