We had an awesome time in this crazy jungle house! Things would have been much easier if we had a car, so I would highly suggest bringing one if you are confident in your standard driving skills; however, it was great meeting Joe (of Martz farm) who drove us to the house from San Ignacio and to Placencia from the house. He was very charming and full of interesting information about Belize and living out in the jungle. His sister, Lucy, was a gem, making us breakfast (fry jacks with cinnamon sugar were THE BEST!) every day and helping us with some canoe/kayak rentals so we could see the nearby waterfalls. This is a great place to escape civilization and reconnect with nature. Just be sure to bring lots of bug spray and maybe some incense... We brought a citronella candle and bug spray but still managed to leave covered in bites. I guess that's jungle life though!
