The Holiday Hotel also hosted their annual Easter Extravaganza with a two-day Easter Fest. Their beach party featured sandy beach fun, drinks and the best music from international DJ Capone and DJ Karlo. During the second day, a large crowd gathered in front of Caprice Bar and Grill for its highly anticipated Foam Party. Revellers danced and played in the foam as soca, reggaeton, hip-hop and house music kept the party going.
There were several games, from pop quizzes and dance competitions to beer drinking contests. Prizes included gift baskets from Belize Chocolate Company, bottles of rum from Holiday Hotel, cash prizes and hundreds of beer mugs to give-away courtesy of Bowen and Bowen. Bar and food tabs courtesy of Caprice Bar and Grill were also awarded to lucky winners.
The beachfront areas were not the only places celebrating Easter. Other fun spots included, The Truck Stop, Pedro’s Inn, Royal Caribbean Sports Bar, the San Pedro Lions Den and of course Juvinie’s Cevicheria.
