If you’re looking for great amenities but want to get away from all of the tourism this is your spot.
The place looks exactly like the photos. Good air conditioning GREAT COMFORTABLE BED , beautiful grounds and well appointed.
To note it is about a 40 minute drive from town. But all of the places in between are quite nice to enjoy.
Make sure you get a golf cart with REAL TIRES. Big ones. Not the cheapest company nor the lowest class of cart. Avoid Avis. What you save by staying this far out you will pay in bumpy roads which means you’re going to need a golf cart with suspension.
The beach at the resort isn’t the best for swimming but a lovely drive to secret Beach to the other side of the island is all you need. The Blue Lagoon rocks and has incredible lobster.
Also since you’re so far north the resort just south of you - La Beliza - is a 10 minute drive and has amazing red snapper and lobster.
El Norte resort just north has a wonderful captain with a boat named David. He took us even further north on the reef to enjoy less populated swimming. And by less populated I mean it was only me!
In town before you drive out make sure you get belizean cash and grocery shop. There are a lot of grocery stores in town. Don’t let the mini mart guys fool you.
Briannas and El Fogo in town are delicious. Estels Diner is good and serves breakfast early and all day but service is meh.
I love being with locals but have to admit i did enjoy the very Westernized “truck stop” with its movie nights and delicious Malaysian food was a treat. Also looking off the deck for crocodiles during sunset was dope.
All in all it was a fantastic trip and I highly suggest the place and all of the things I said above. 😁
