We (4) enjoyed our week stay in Punta Gorda at Laura's place. It was a cool oasis for us from northern climes. The pool and courtyard are delightful and we swam every day, usually more than once. We liked to hang out on the shady porch as the 2-bedroom house (the blue one) has really comfortable porch furniture. Unusual birds were often present/flying by in the mornings. Laura provided large bottled drinking water, which was greatly appreciated.
It was a little distant from town for easy walking (due to heat), but we knew that in advance and rented an SUV (from Aliram's Auto Rental, which may be the only vehicle rental in PG). The road is potholed, but that limits the traffic. We enjoyed area attractions; PG is a lesser visited area of Belize, and we were often the only visitors at attractions (ruins, waterfalls, cave swim, Mayan villages, etc.) In PG we enjoyed town, our snorkeling trip with TIDE, swimming adjacent to the piers at the N. end of town.
