No worries, Zach. My husband and I spent a glorious week at Pelican Reef in January, our first trip to Ambergris Caye, and I was never concerned for my safety at the resort or anywhere on the island.
You will love the resort, it is comfortable and quiet, the service is fabulous and you will want for nothing. As others have recommended, I also would suggest taking a Tropic Air flight instead of the water taxi, as well as renting a golf cart; contact Pelican Reef and they will can set up both for you. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
