Belize has been one of my favorite vacations to date and Diana and her place were major factors in that experience. The property is beautifully maintained. It is a great balance of simple and thoughtful spaces more integrated into the experience than a traditional hotel, but close enough to everything for you to be able to chose your own adventure as you see fit. The rooms are clean and lovely with an artistic eye in the details. The communal kitchen is a brilliant idea to be able to cook if you need a break from eating out, and want to sip a glass of wine or just want to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning before heading out for your day.
There is plenty of space to have a solo vacation if you like or opportunities to engage others around you. It feels built directly into in the land incorporating the natural landscape and trees directly into the space. Humming birds, hammocks, iguanas, house dogs, out door shower, this air bnb helped me experience being in a completely different space than my home in NYC, but still feeling at home.
Diana is kind helpful and extremely knowledgeable without ever being intrusive. She really lets you set the rhythm of your stay, but is engaging and prompt if you need recommendations/directions/rides etc. Further and most important she is a kind and gracious soul with a deep respect for her home, and a welcoming heart, and she is great at creating an environment of respect and beauty for her guests. Whether I spent my days on a boat and just came back to sleep or popped in and out through out the day after swimming and eating and drinking for a . nap and a shower, it was nice to have this little oasis so close to everything you need. I hope to return sooner than later.
