Had a wonderful stay!
The BleaseVilla family was super sweet and helpful. They have a bus service that goes back and forth from Chetumal and Belize City. I was traveling south to get to Belize City airport and staying at their place was easy, peaceful and convenient - avoiding going into the city. Apartment is great, good coffee, and if you like amazing food available for order - I recommend the fish!
Wonderful birds in the morning, interesting native palms and Caribbean pine in surrounding vegetation. There are a couple of stores you can walk to if needed and the house is near hiway so easy to get there and travel on id busing. I imagine would be a great, safe place if driving as well. I was only there overnight but sounds like they can help arrange trips to nearby preserves if desired.
Great price comparatively as well. I will return if going this way and would recommend to friends.
