Adrienne's pedestal house was the perfect way to kick off our Belize trip. We were greeted at the airport by Bruce (Adrienne's dad), and he drove us to the grocery store and then to the house. According to him, the taxi ride to the place is ~$90USD, so his ride was much appreciated. The house is quiet, and the 3 fans were more than enough to keep us cool at night. The hammocks provided a relaxing afternoon nap, and the kitchen was adequate to provide us with a couple of stove-top meals.
During our second day in Belize, Bruce took us to do the cave tubing and set us up with a really great guide. During the drive, Bruce provided us with so much information about Belize, answering any questions we had, and telling us about the various regions of Belize or different villages we happened to be driving through. It's really cool to meet people so passionate about their own country.
After tubing, Bruce took us to the Howler Monkey reserve, and set us up with a tour with Royce. When we pulled in, I had some serious doubts, but it turned out to be one of the top highlights of the trip. We likely wouldn't have gone if it werent for Bruce.
We rented bikes for our stay which we didn't end up using, simply because Bruce made any travel needs incredibly easy.
I know Adrienne has plans to continue to renovate the house, so if we go back, we'd stay in Isabella Bank again in a heartbeat.
Cons: Cellphone hotspot was nonfunctioning. Kitchen knives were extremely dull.
