We really enjoyed staying at the Sunny Cabana as our first landing spot in Belize. The cabana is nicely tucked into a quiet neighborhood on the south part of the island, right next door to the only French bakery/restaurant in the island.
Monique is a very friendly and helpful host. She was gave us great tips about food and people and helped us with the bikes when one of them broke down. The yard there was totally fenced, so our dog was able to run around and chase lizards while we watched from the deck above, without her running off.
