- Enter your confirmation code and last name to retrieve the booking.
- Start online check‑in
- Follow the airline’s prompts to confirm passenger details and seats.
- Choose electronic delivery
- Select options like “Email boarding pass,” “Mobile boarding pass,” or “Add to wallet.”
- Email the pass to your own address so you can access it on your phone.

Coordinate Your Island Departure Smoothly

San Pedro arrivals/departures and resort transfers

- The shuttle operates on an hourly schedule throughout the day; the exact timetable is emailed once your reservation is confirmed.
- Need transportation outside the regular schedule? A private transfer can be arranged for USD $50 per one‑way trip.
- The drive from the San Pedro airport to the resort takes about 15 minutes.
Regional flight option from Belize City

Beyond Check‑In: Tech Perks You Might Be Overlooking
Your device‑light trip can still feel fully connected and convenient. In addition to the on‑site computer station, each villa includes a 32‑inch TV that supports Netflix and other streaming services alongside standard cable.

Planning downtime while you wrap up online tasks?

When you’re ready for fresh air, X’Tan Ha sits directly on a private stretch of beach and maintains its own dock, which makes it easy for snorkeling and fishing boats to pick you up right at the property. The concierge can organize outings—including snorkeling trips to nearby Mexico Rocks—and set up non‑motorized water sports.
