We just returned from an outstanding stay at The Lucky Duck. The Ocean Suite was situated perfectly for evening cocktails overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and watching stingrays sail out from under it. We snorkeled right in front of the dock (grassy, with starfish and the occasional stingray or barracuda). We also kayaked to the “false key” in front of the property. This is a grove of Mangroves which may be fishable and provide good snorkeling.
The pool provided hours of entertainment for our boys, and a landing place to watch the stars at night. The flora & fauna around the property and the pool is well maintained and provides the perfect ambiance for a relaxing vacation.
Everything was clean in the unit and feels brand new. The decor was super homey and comfortable. There’s a frig (just a tad smaller than standard size), microwave, coffee maker, and a hot plate. There’s also a water cooler with fresh drinking water. Also provided are towels, hammocks for the dock, kayaks and paddle board.
The location is perfect for exploring Maya Beach and further north to the mainland and beyond, and Placencia, while providing a quiet, serene, environment at the end of the day.
We rented a car a drove from Belize City. The drive took about 3 1/2 hours and was one of the highlights of the trip. The hummingbird highway should not be missed! Lots of people drive golf carts around the peninsula, but with the speed humps and rain we had, I was thankful we had a car. We also ventured over to Teakettle to meet up with a ATM tour.
The hostess, Tricia, was so fabulous with information prior to the trip, and super accommodating when we had a last minute schedule change. The on-site managers were also lovely, informative, and non-intrusive. We loved staying at the Lucky Duck and would not hesitate to rent this place again. You won’t regret your decision to stay at The Lucky Duck!
