Established Hotel For Sale in Orchid Bay Development Near Corozal

This is an established hotel for sale in the Orchid Bay development near Corozal, Belize. Known as the Crimson Orchid Inn, it began as a bed and breakfast and has since grown into a full hotel offering meal service and a rooftop bar.

The hotel has 9 guest suites. Eight are standard rooms with ensuite baths and either a single queen bed or two twin beds. The ninth is a larger suite with a king bed and an ensuite bath that includes his and hers vanities, an enclosed toilet closet, a custom tile shower, and a mosaic-tiled soaking tub for two. Guest rooms have tile floors and locally sourced, Mennonite-crafted furnishings, with individual mini-split air conditioning in each room. Two owner or manager suites with ensuite baths are on the main floor, along with a small office. Laundry facilities and two additional outdoor-accessible restrooms for guests and bar patrons are on the second floor. The main entrance has a ramp, and two ground-floor rooms are fitted with grab bars and roll-in showers. The structure is built of reinforced concrete.

A commercial-grade kitchen supports the hotel’s meal service, and combined indoor and outdoor seating can accommodate 18 guests at one sitting, with additional outdoor and screened-in terrace space for larger groups. A rooftop palapa bar offers views over Chetumal Bay, the Cerros Peninsula, and across the water to Chetumal on the Yucatan Peninsula. A detached, screened-in yoga palapa sits in the rear courtyard, and large screened porches on both floors of the main building provide bug-free outdoor space.

In total, the property has 8,484 square feet of interior space and 5,360 square feet of additional outdoor living space, plus a detached 644-square-foot yoga palapa. Water is supplied off-grid through onsite catchment and filtration, including two 5-micron filters, a carbon filter, a UV light system, and a 39,500-gallon cistern, with a backup feed available from the development’s reverse osmosis system. Electricity is utility-supplied with a diesel backup generator, propane fuels the kitchen and water heating, and wireless high-speed internet is available throughout. Outdoor walkways and flat roof terraces are piped to feed the rainwater catchment system, and all flooring is tiled both inside and out.

A short walk from the hotel leads to the beach on Chetumal Bay and to Orchid Bay’s waterfront amenities, including a restaurant and bar, an infinity pool, and a pier. A new road under construction between Corozal and Sarteneja is intended to improve access to the area. Corozal itself is northern Belize’s bayside market, known for calmer water than the reef islands, an established local and expat community, and a short run to Chetumal for shopping and some services. It functions more as a long-term living and value market than a high-occupancy vacation grid.

The hotel is offered turnkey and fully furnished, aside from a few family heirlooms. Buyers should ask their advisor for a current title search and survey, along with verification of utilities, business licensing, and any applicable development fees before proceeding.
