By Aaron Humes: The Ramada Princess Hotel has been temporarily closed for the next two weeks due to non-compliance with registration requirements set by the Belize Tourism Board (BTB). This decision follows the hotel’s owners’ failure to renew their license with the board.
Following the public notice, management of the Princess Casino Belize City has issued a statement clarifying that the casino remains open and fully operational. In its release, the casino stated: “The management of Princess Casino Belize City wishes to inform our valued customers and the general public that the Princess Casino remains open. Our operations continue as normal, and we remain committed to providing a safe, enjoyable, and first-class entertainment experience for all our guests.”
Section 28 (2) (b) of the 1997 Hotels and Tourist Accommodation Act provides that, “Registrar may cancel a license and or direct a hotel or tourist accommodation to be closed on any of the following grounds-…(b) the failure of the proprietor to obtain or to renew a license.”
A representative from the BTB says this is an interim measure, urging the hotel’s management to rectify their compliance issues promptly. “We hope this provides them with the necessary time to get their act together,” the representative stated.
The BTB has further warned that if the management does not address these regulatory concerns within the two weeks, they may face permanent closure of the establishment.
The Princess was previously the Ramada Royal Reef Hotel before being acquired by Princess Hotels Group, and later reverted to Ramada Wyndham management.
