Areca House comes as advertised: Location Location Location! It's smack in the middle of the hotel district where several scrumptious restaurants are a walk away. For terrific local food, just rent a golf cart and go into the village. The Belizian people are so friendly and helpful and Janette, the property manager is resourceful with anything you need. The hotel district is a growing development so the only thing we found, not to any fault of Areca House, is that it was on the busiest road where gravel trucks, construction vehicles, etc. drove by to get through the next few phases of development. So lying in the hammock wasn't exactly quiet, but a quick walk across the street and you are on a lovely beach with a ceviche bar (the Big Dock) literally right there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!
