We had such a wonderful time in San Pedro with Diana. She is an excellent host, and her guest house is lovely. We were particularly fond of the outdoor shower. The room also had two fans to help keep temperatures cool, and a net canopy for the bed to help keep mosquitoes at bay (although they didn’t give us much of a problem). Diana provides linens, towels and soap so no need to worry about packing those items.

Diana has lots of recommendations on places to go and things to do in San Pedro, as well as other parts of Belize. Her knowledge was invaluable. As soon as we booked with Diana she contacted us with ideas and advice for our stay, which was very helpful as we had never been to Belize before. She was gracious and helpful throughout our stay, including booking taxis, helping rent a golf cart, and even arranging for a massage at the guest house.

Diana’s best recommendation though is right above in her description — try to spend enough time in San Pedro to really unwind and relax! We spent a week on the island, and it allowed us the chance to slow down and truly enjoy our vacation. It also allowed us the chance to get to know some of the people on the island. The culture is a mixture of people from the island, mainland Belize, and all over the world who now call San Pedro home — getting to know some of the folks from this community was a highlight of the trip.

Other highlights during our stay included: walking distance proximity to the beautiful beaches of San Pedro, meals and drinks at Casa Picasso (a delicious restaurant dangerously close to Diana’s place!), a day trip to the “Secret Beach” on the west side of the island, discovering delicious Belizean cuisine (be sure to try fry jacks wherever you go!), enjoying live music on the beach at Fido’s, and spending mornings enjoying coffee with Diana and her sweet doggies. The kitchen on site is a great place for preparing meals and spending time with other guests, and the hammock is - bar none - the best we found on the island! :)

Thank you, Diana, for a fabulous trip. We can’t wait for our next visit to San Pedro!
