If you like to be away from it all, the Howler tree house might be the place for you. The setting is charming, the house is spacious, albeit in need of some tender loving care, with beautiful views of the river, and plenty of wildlife to watch. We saw the howler monkeys every day, and even the little crocodile in the pond made an appearance. Our main issues was the WIFI--it is an unsecured network and was spotty throughout our stay. Everything else was fine--we loved the rain shower, the big kitchen and the screened in dining area. Beware of the mosquitoes when sitting outside on the deck! The little grocery store has a very limited supply, so make sure to buy most of your food when arriving in Ladyville. Besides the Black Orchid where we had dinner one night, we enjoyed very much Miss Carol's fried chicken and fantastic French fries, a very unique experience dining in her home! A highlight of our trip was the visit to the Mayan ruins in Lamanai--a must! We also had a great tour of Belize City and one of the best burgers ever at the Riverside Tavern. Our objective was to unwind and relax, and the sleepy little town of Burrell Boom, once we adjusted to the slow pace, was exactly what we needed. But what made this vacation a beautiful experience were the people of the place their generosity and welcoming spirit from our driver Kenny to Tinnie, the housekeeper, to Dawson and the neighbor Valerie, Bernadette the store owner, and lastly Barney who not only helped to unclog the bathroom sink but also introduced us to the towns' kids--he was an inspiration!
