We really enjoyed our stay at Kathie’s place. The house is in a beautiful spot on top of a ridge with an incredible view. We spent spent a lot of time on the deck watching birds and saw 68 species of birds on the Better in Belize property. We got to watch howler monkeys eating their breakfast in the trees just a few feet from the deck.
Millie made us dinner on our first night and it was excellent, even though she had late notice of our vegetarian diet.
The kitchen is well appointed, which is important given the remote location. On our way out we discovered a grocery store in San Ignacio called Hellens that we wish we had found earlier. It was the best stocked store we saw anywhere in the country.
Really the only downside to the place is the road to get there. It took us about an hour each way. For the most part it’s about a 15 mph road, with a few 5 mph sections. The first couple of miles are by far the worst, I think because trucks and busses use that part.
