The Thanksgiving table may be the centerpiece of the holiday, but the hours spent preparing it don’t have to be part of the tradition. Ambergris Cay’s all-inclusive experience allows families to leave the planning and preparations behind. With exceptional dining and personalized service, the focus shifts from what’s happening in the kitchen to who’s gathered around the table.
For an additional touch of indulgence, the resort’s Chef’s Table experience, available as an optional dining enhancement, offers a more intimate way to celebrate, with thoughtfully prepared cuisine taking center stage.

At Ambergris Cay, the combination of secluded accommodations, personalized hospitality, and an all-inclusive experience takes much of the responsibility out of bringing everyone together.
