Kathie’s jungle home was amazing! The drive from the airport is long, and the last 25 minutes on the road to the house is definitely a rough ride, but don’t be discouraged, just get a trusty SUV!
Once you finally arrive at Casa Tropical, you’ll be blown away by the sights and sounds of the Belizean jungle. You’ll have sweeping views from the wrap around deck, and the outdoor hammock on the deck is the perfect spot to relax. The home was clean, the linens and towels were also clean and we were provided with plenty of towels.
Kathie also was great to communicate with, and helped us arrange our stay. She also set us up with a local woman named Lucy who was really sweet and made us an amazing dinner, ready upon our arrival.
My boyfriend and I truly felt safe, relaxed and happy here!
We do recommend that you bring bug spray, buy all your drinks and some food in the town before you get to the house. There’s only a very small store about 10 minutes from the house called El Campesino that provides your bare necessities. The town Benque or San Ignacio have more shops. Go see Rio Frio Cave, the Rio on Pools and definitely take a swim at the Big Rock Falls while you’re staying here! Watch out for the toucans and listen for the Howlers Monkeys!
