Hilda's place was great! She arranged a golf cart taxi to pick my boyfriend and me up (and I would not recommend trying to find it by yourself, especially in the dark). She was incredibly friendly and greeted us at the house and gave us plentiful information about the island. This was awesome, because she told us where the cheap local places to eat and where to see the endangered seahorses. The place itself it cozy and clean. We were worried about the heat but with the ceiling fan and a little rum, we slept perfectly. We enjoyed the rooftop with hammocks and watching the world go by from above.

This place is a little further off the main drag, but the bikes make up for it and then some. We explored the length of the island the first full day we were there and this gave us our bearings for the rest of the trip. Later in our trip we stayed in a place right along the most popular part and we missed our bikes! It really makes a difference being able to get anywhere you like in about 10 minutes. Also, there is a convenience store a block or so from her house that you can pick up soda, rum, beer, fresh food and they will gladly accept US dollars and give you Belize dollars. They have a calculator which they show you and always give you correct change, unlike a few places on the island; so this is where we changed most of our USD.

Hilda's place, and the island in general, is very safe. I was never worried about walking/biking alone. She has a gate around her place that makes it especially safe. There are a few other units in the building but we didn't hear/see much of them. Her place is quiet and peaceful.

PS: If anyone is worried about damage from the hurricane, I couldn't even tell there was one a month or two ago.
