the Sea Front Inn - Punta Gordo Town

The Sea Front Inn is an icon in Punta Gordo. Located at one of the most prominent locations right at the entrance to town on the main highway, and directly on the Gulf of Honduras, Caribbean Sea.

Punta Gordo is the business, government, and cultural center of the Toledo district and the southern most major coastal town in Belize. The contract has been let to complete the last 5 miles of the Southern highway which will make the area much more accessible. The countries airlines also have 9 scheduled flights in and out of the area daily, and there is also a ferry to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala from the city pier.

The Seafront Inn is a very unique and geographically established turn-key business in Punta Gorda, Belize. It is actually two, adjacent, 4 story buildings, completed in 1999 with approx. 16,000 square ft comprising 15 guest rooms, 3 apartments, 1 penthouse, a restaurant, and a dock.

The first building has 12 guest rooms, lobby, central office, and a restaurant. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor overlooking the Caribbean Sea with a full commercial kitchen.  It features handmade mahogany tables, chairs, and carvings/sculptures in the rosewood pillars.  You can comfortably seat 30 – 40 guests being easily adaptable for business meetings, parties, wedding, etc.

The second building is the tallest structure in Punta Gorda and has 2 guest rooms, 2 small apartments, 1 large apartment, and a 3 story penthouse with rosewood floors, beams, 2 private offices and an observation deck allowing for the highest panoramic, view of the town, Saddle Back and Seven Hills mountains, Guatemalan mountains, and the entire Caribbean Sea.  These apartments are rented on a long term or short term basis. This gives the Inn versatility. No guest room is alike as each is individually and uniquely designed to portray a piece of the country’s nature and culture.  There are no numbers assigned to the rooms instead the name of the room is the theme portrayed.  Example: Dolphin, Blue Morpho, Jaguar, etc. Rooms are comfortable, spacious, with verandas and hammocks available.  The East rooms have views overlooking the Caribbean, the mountains of Honduras, Guatemala, and the opposite rooms overlook the Mayan Mountains of Belize.  All rooms have a/c & cable TV, and wireless Internet in available.  There are no phones in the rooms however, a phone is provided in the lobby 24/7.

The business strives to be an Eco-friendly enterprise and was family built over a 10 year period.  The construction is all by hand using local artists and craftsmen using river stone, imported tile, mahogany, rosewood, and many other valued woods. Much of the wood was rescued after being cut down for new road ways into the jungle.

There is a front lawn of approximately 1000 s.f. and an equal size court yard in the back.  With an enclosed garage for 2 vehicles, private parking and gated parking there is plenty of room for your guests rented vehicles.

The latest addition is a 30’ Dock with permits to extend.

As a turn-key operation, most furnishings, art and equipment for the hotel and restaurant will remain.  This is an established business, 100% family owned, built, and operated with 35 years of experience in the country.   Operated as a labor of love by the present owners this hotel is prime for increased revenue. Even the restaurant portion can improve as they only serve breakfast on a daily basis to guests and lunch and dinner to large groups when requested. A good marketing plan and you're set to prosper.
