If you want to immerse yourself into the Belizean culture, this is the place to stay. If you are looking for an all inclusive resort, it is not! You can bend elbows with the local guy who stopped on his tractor at the the family run restaurant right across the street. Great traditional food. We highly recommend the restaurant diagonally across the street. There is also a well stocked store nearby if you want to make your own food in the bungalow. I wish my kitchen was that nice! The bungalow is brand new and very accomodating/beautiful/secure, right on the ocean. Everything you need to just relax and chill. Or a great base to explore area attractions. (The bioluminescence tour down the road is a must!) This is more of a true Belizean town than a tourist trap. We never came across a tacky tourist souvenir shop.
Carl and Laurene where fabulous hosts, with beautiful grounds. They were always there for us our entire stay.
