To anyone considering a trip to Belize, Bruce's cabin is the place to be. Located in Isabella Bank Village (about 20-30 mins from Belize City) you will be in a great location to hit all known and less known attractions of the country.
I was very comfortable in Bruce's cabin. He built this with his own hands as a dream getaway from the busy city, and he wants to share this paradise with you! The porch and windows are screened which is a major plus at night when the mosquito's come out. The hammocks were also a great addition and i spent almost every night relaxing, listening to the sounds of the jungle. Equipped with all the modern necessities (fridge, small kitchen, full bathroom and full size bed) you will not be limiting your lifestyle in any way staying here. There is also a washer and dryer onsite for an additional fee which was very convenient to leave with all my clothes washed! Bruce even has bottled water and beer stocked in the home! There are a few stores in the area, within a 15 min. drive, so stock up and cook some meals in the cabin to save some money. There is also a grill for those who like to BBQ!
During my 5 days in Belize, I used the cabin as my home base to do the following:
Day trip to Belmopan/San Ignacio and Belize Zoo
Day trip to Caye Caulker (snorkeling tour) via water taxi out of Belize City
Maya Ruin Tour Lamanai
Maya Ruin Tour Altun Ha
Bruce was extremely kind, welcoming, and accommodating to make my trip a memorable one. I can think of several examples to where Bruce went out of his way to make sure i got everything checked off on my to-do list. Bruce even has a local cell phone he allowed me to use in case I needed to get in touch with him for any reason.
Do yourself a favor and skip staying in Belize city. Disconnect from the reality and let your mind relax. Bruce will make sure you have a great time in Belize and I would absolutely recommend staying with him during your time in Belize.
THANK YOU BRUCE FOR AN AWESOME VACATION!!
