WEEK 1 Meeting of the Mayans
Party in Paradise Week
Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker Belize
FRIDAY JANUARY 23 TO SATURDAY JANUARY 31, 2026
Getting there…
You'll only need to book your round trip flight to Belize City International (BZE) and we'll take care of the rest. All major US carriers fly here and most flights arrive within a few hours of each other. BZE is a small airport and easy to navigate. You'll be guided to the domestic waiting area where you can grab a drink or meal while you wait for your hop flight.
Your round trip hop flight from BZE to Ambergris Caye (San Pedro-SPR) is included in the package and we will take care of booking this for you. It includes one check bag and one carry on. You'll take the short 15 minute hop over to the beautiful island of Ambergris Caye and we will be there waiting on your arrival.
The most common way to get around in San Pedro is with a golf cart. You will want to have one or share one with friends as many of our locations are not walkable. In the past, we have had some couples decide to split a cart with friends. We have made this and add-on option so you can decide for yourself, just let us know who’s sharing on your order form.
The first week of our event is “the party” week. We feature more of the modern day artists from the Trop Rock genre and others. This week is geared more towards the party crowd.
Week two is the “Parrothead Roots” week where we bring back the artists who helped get the whole thing started and an attempt to recreate some of the best memories from the best events from days gone by.
Each of the first two weeks will be truly unique as two different stand alone events. Of course week two will also contain a lot of partying, but at a slightly slower pace than week one.
Choose your favorite or join us for both weeks and have the music vacation of a lifetime!
NOTE: if you plan on doing both weeks 1 & 2 with us, please email us at Sales@Tropications.com before booking and we can put together a discounted package for you. You will not need the hop flights for both weeks.
WEEK 1 MOTM ITINERARY
Friday January 23- Arrival Day & VIP Eat-N-Greet
After arriving at San Pedro airport (hop flight included), we will have stewards to handle your luggage to the resort directly across the street from the airport where we’ll get you checked in and up to speed and signed in for golf carts for the folks staying at the satellite hotels.

7-9:30pm- Friday night we have a VIP only Eat and Greet scheduled with your hosts Mike and Melissa. This is your opportunity to start getting to know your fellow Mayans as well as time to meet the hosts and let us start getting to know you before the chaos of the week begins! (VIP only)

Secret Beach is one of the most beautiful hidden gems on the island and it makes for an incredible day of doing absolutely nothing but drinking and getting to know your fellow Mayans!

6-9pm - Monday evening we’ve got a private crab race special for our group at Nauti Crab. You’ve just gotta see this to believe it! It’ll be a nice change of pace from the music and Rob (the owner) puts on a show of his own! (VIP and Passholders Only)

Thursday January 29- Caye Caulker Afternoon with Mike Nash
10am-5pm- Now that you'll have a good feel for what Ambergris Caye and San Pedro are all about, it's time to go island hopping! We'll head out Thursday by water taxi to visit San Pedro's much more laid back neighbor island of Caye Caulker! (the private ferry is for VIP only, but passholders can take the public ferry-there is also a private Pirate Catamaran available for purchase here that can be added to any package)
Picture a much slower vibe than San Pedro. Very few golf carts on Caulker-in fact, you can walk the entire 5 blocks long by 2 blocks wide island in a few minutes-but there's still plenty to do here on our day trip. You can hand feed the tarpon, search for sea horses at the sea horse preserve and even hand feed stingray's; or just “park up at The Lizard” and drink the day away with music by Mike Nash and other artists all afternoon! Grab a fresh grilled lobster, get in some souvenir shopping, or just enjoy the laid back vibe!
1-4pm - Mike Nash and Friends at The Lazy Lizard Stage (open to all)
4pm-Pirates private Catamaran leaves for San Pedro (purchase necessary)
4:30pm- VIP private ferry leaves for San Pedro (included in VIP packages)
5pm- The last public ferry leaves for San Pedro (all public and pass holders)
Thursday night will be open on the schedule, but you’ll have the opportunity to make your own party and support the artists all around town. Pick your poison!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Friday January 30- Free Day & Grand Finale Party
Friday you’ll spend your final afternoon chillaxing in the pool and enjoying a much needed final day of rest. VIP’s are welcome to join us at the host hotel grounds for a laid back afternoon, or you’re free to squeeze in a last visit to your favorite spot for one more drink…it’s your last day of vacation so spend it wisely!
There will be afternoon performances in town if you prefer to spend your last day partying!
5pm-9:30pm- Friday in the early evening we’ll be treated to a live performance by the San Pedro High School Marching Band which is our charity for the event. After the band’s performance, Mike Nash hosts a full band made up of Belizean and American musicians as we feature the original music from the week’s artists in a rare full band show!
(VIP and Passholders reserved seating. Single show passes will also be available at the door for only this night-space permitting)

Saturday January 31: End of week 1 and start of week 2
Returning home: If you'll be leaving us to return home, you will be taking your hop flight from San Pedro Saturday (included) and returning back to BZE airport in time for your US bound flight. Most US flights don't leave until at least 1pm or later, so you'll have plenty of time to grab lunch or a few more vacation drinks at the airport. We will need your itinerary at a later date.
Staying over for week 2: If one week in San Pedro just wasn't enough for you and you have any liver left, we welcome you to stay with us for week 2 (Parrothead Roots week) and do it all again with a new group of friends! Saturday will be the rollover day from week 1 to week 2 groups so you can extend your vacation and spend the day in the pool greeting the new week 2 guests with us or choose this day for an excursion!
please email us at Sales@Tropications.com with any questions
Thanks to our sponsor support!

Mayan Camp Collection
Due to the growing number of fun folks attending our event each year, we have expanded our accommodations to provide more options for you. We know that many of our attendees also travel with groups of friends and so we’ve selected several properties which have availability for varying numbers of rooms and bedrooms and are perfect overflow locations that still put you in the heart of everything and measure up to the quality you’ve come to expect from our event. All of our “Mayan Camp” collection properties are conveniently located within the festival event areas or only steps from the host hotel. All guests staying at any of our hotels will receive VIP status which comes with unlimited access to the host hotel grounds and pool and all locations are convenient to the Sunbreeze-Bluewater Main Stage.
Mayan Camp #1- Ramon’s Village
10 Private Cabanas Available
Ramon’s Village is simply breathtaking! One of the nicest and best maintained resorts on the entire island; every detail is covered with this property. If you are looking for a unique “resort style” vacation Ramon’s will most certainly impress. All of the Tahitian styled cottages are nestled throughout tropical gardens of Royal Palms, bougainvillea, lilies, hibiscus and dozens of other types of tropical flora. Surrounded by the plant life are Mayan sculptures that provide a glimpse of the civilization that preceded us in this Caribbean paradise. Once inside our enchanted village, you’ll be in a world of your own choosing. The resort has an 80 foot long lagoon style pool that winds in and out of the entire central property, an on site restaurant and snack bar, lots of sugar sand beachfront and is less than a five minute walk to the host hotel. Ramon’s is by far the nicest property we offer; especially if you’re looking for that “American resort” level of service. There’s even an option to add all inclusive meals to your package.
Starting at $2610 per couple
ONLY 6 ROOMS LEFT!
Mayan Camp #2- Diamante
10 Two Bedroom Full Condominiums Total
Diamante is a stunning property featuring thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom suites that redefines indulgence. This property is located directly next door to the host hotel and also features a large pool, sundeck and hot tub. Each suite offers a fully equipped kitchen, inviting dining area, and a spacious living room for a homely feel in a picturesque setting. Step outside onto your private balcony to immerse yourself in breathtaking ocean views. Diamante is most certainly on the higher end of our collection, but is perfect for two couples or groups of friends to share the cost and still be right in the heart of the action. If you do the math sharing with two couples, it’s actually the best value in our collection and very conveniently located just steps from the Sunbreeze and all the action!
Starting at $3062 per couple
22 Single, Double and Triple Hotel Rooms Total
Caye Hotel San Pedro is a perfect spot for solo travelers, groups of friends, or travelers who are just a bit more budget minded. We’ve chosen this property because of it’s exceptional value and convenient proximity to the host hotel where many of the shows take place. The Caye is literally two short blocks from Sunbreeze and because you’ll be VIP, you’re welcome to come use our pool and grounds at any time! Admittedly the rooms are nothing fancy, but they are very clean, modern, and comfortable and they have everything you need for a perfect vacation. The hotel was built new from the ground up in late 2024, so all of the rooms have brand new modern touches and comfy beds. It is a hidden gem in the middle of it all that’ll save you some drinking money!
Starting at $1862 per couple

Mayan Camp #4 - Sunbreeze Suites

ON SALE SOON!
THINGS TO BRING
PACK LIGHT: It's 85 degrees and sunny just about every day of the year in these destinations! You don't need to bring nearly as much as you think. We recommend packing as light as possible (a smaller suitcase is even better) not only for ease of carrying your luggage around (especially for the WEEK 3 & 4 folks as we are moving around quite a bit) but it will also leave room to take home souvenirs. There are cheap laundry services at every location as well if you have the need.
SNACKS: If you're like me and love your American snacks, I recommend packing them in your suitcase or carry on (yes you can bring food on to a plane, just not liquids). They have grocery stores in these countries(not exactly like a Wal Mart mind you) but most American things are tourist priced accordingly as the locals don't eat what we eat. Also I like to bring my own coffee just cause I'm a coffee snob like that....feel free to bring anything you think you can't live without for a week. There are plenty of food trucks, restaurants and grocery stores around with pretty much the same selection you'll find back home.
BUG SPRAY: It's expensive here for a reason. Bring it...you'll thank me on a breezeless day!
(by the way, it's better if it has deet in it)
SUNSCREEN: (see bug spray above..bring it!)
SLEEP: Eye blinders can be a big plus when traveling to these destinations. The sun goes down at 6pm and comes up at 6am every day of the year and some of the rooms don't have much in the way of black out drapes. You'll thank me!
LIQUOR: Duty Free on your way is the cheapest place you'll find top shelf brands. We personally drink the local rum and vodka as well as beers and rum, and they are cheap. If you drink anything else you'll want to hit duty free on the way in and bring it as it can be pricey in town at these places.
BACKPACK COOLER OR SMALL COLLAPSIBLE COOLER YOU CAN FIT IN YOUR SUITCASE: This one pretty much explains itself!
MONEY: The exchange rate is pinned at 2 Belizean dollars for 1 US for cash and Costa Rica is around 550:1 (don't get too excited though, they price things accordingly). There isn't much need to exchange your US dollars as they are accepted right along side of the local currency everywhere we will go. They might give you change in the local currency, and of course they won't always be able to break a hundred, so I'd recommend bringing smaller bills if you're going the cash route. $20's and below are fine. US credit cards are accepted nearly everywhere (with the exception of street vendors and some souvenir shops) but keep in mind you'll want to bring cash for tips and things you cannot buy with credit card. You can usually add a tip to the credit card bill as well but it's always good to have a cash on hand. Do check your bill before tipping though as many bars and restaurants will add a 10% gratuity automatically which is a fair amount for this trip. Don't forget to make sure you have "no foreign transaction fees" on the card you'll be using and call to let your cc company know you'll be traveling abroad. Credit cards in Belize actually run a bit less than 2:1 but it's not a big issue unless you're making a large purchase. Roatan and the other countries run concurrently with the daily exchange rate at the bank.
SNORKEL GEAR: If you've got room, feel free to bring it. You can of course rent it at the places we go, but if you have your own you can just jump in the water and swim out a bit to the reef...it's not that far from shore.
WATER SHOES/HIKING GEAR: You will want to bring comfortable walking shoes for our group excursions and Maya ruins exploring. Bring water shoes if you plan to zip-line and river raft. For the Costa Rica week, these are a must.
STAYING CONNECTED: The arrival airports do have free wi-fi (though it can be spotty) so you shouldn't need to turn your phone off of airplane mode the entire trip unless you just want to. Most US carriers will work in all of the countries we will visit (Verizon for $10, AT&T and T-mobile are free) but we've found we rarely need the actual phone and there's free high speed wi-fi everywhere so (as much as it sucks not to take off that electronic leash) you won't have to worry about being un-connected very often.
In order to hold the rates at today’s prices, the hotels will retain a 10% non-refundable fee on any cancellations. 90% refund on cancellations will be available until October 1, 2025, After this date, we cannot guarantee any refunds but we will do our best to help you resell your package.
If you anticipate any issues, we strongly recommend purchasing inexpensive travel insurance from an independent source.
