                                                                                  Historical St. George's Caye is less than 10 miles from Belize City and one mile from the Belize Barrier Reef, making it an ideal location for getting to and from the mainland and reef ecosystems.

                                                                                  The St George's Caye Research Station & Field School offers comfortable accommodations for groups and offers bunk rooms or rooms with double beds, depending on your group size and specific requests. 

                                                                                  Rooms are currently located in two buildings, the “White House” and the “Garber Lab” and includes linens and towels.   In the White House there are 3 bedrooms upstairs with two baths.  Each room has a dresser with four drawers. Most rooms also have nightstands.  All rooms have wall fans. There is no hot water or air conditioning. 

                                                                                  Downstairs of the white house is the current dining/meeting area, kitchen, and one bedroom with bath.  In the Generator House there is a restroom and shower for use while on digs. 

                                                                                  The Garber Cottage/Lab is a duplex that has private bath with ceiling fans.  Future buildings will be constructed near the Garber Cottage and will include:
