I intend to book at a resort in the area but seeing as it was a last minute trip, they were all booked up. That's when I stumbled on this Airbnb and booked it immediately- and I'm so glad I did!
The pictures don't do this place justice, it's massive! The house is on a farm, in a gated area. The grounds are beautiful and well manicured, we saw the gardener everyday.
The wrap around deck offers stellar views of the jungle and the sunset is just magical, the best we saw in Belize. We actually rushed back in the evenings so we wouldn't miss it.
We aren't bird watchers, but it's hard to miss the keel-billed toucans, humming birds, and dozens of other birds that fly freely in plain sight.
The pool is lovely, although it doesn't catch much sun. It's best in the afternoon when the sun can peek in. It also offers an amazing view of the sunset (and some seriously instagramable pictures).
We didn't need AC, with the doors open and the fans on, there is a refreshing breeze. We woke up in the morning to the sounds of animals: birds, lizards, monkeys... It was quite amazing.
We had an SUV, as recommended. There is indeed a steep, bumpy hill to get to the property. Although I think we would have been fine in a compact car.
I met and chatted with a few people about this reservation, everyone was lovely and went out of their way for us.
There's a chef's kitchen equiped with all kinds of chef's tools, although some of the burners on the gas stove don't work.
This place is a must stay, I hope to get the chance to come back!
