Absolutely our favorite AirBnB experience! We are hosts ourselves and use AirBnB whenever we travel. We had never been to Belize and first checked AirBnB for places to stay and immediately were drawn to Bruce’s Log Cabin - exactly what we were looking for to explore and experience Belize (mainland first).
We booked the log cabin and then some excursions with Bruce and his company (and don’t feel leery about booking and paying for the excursions through AirBnB to Bruce, it’s actually a very smart way for them to handle payment since their systems are different and don’t have the same capabilities in the country) and he set everything up from there. He handles it all like a complete concierge service: arranged the best days for each, transports you to and from each time, handles all tickets and tour group arrangements - it was awesome!
And the cabin, exactly what we expected and more. Now if you expect resort-style amenities, this may not be the place for you. But if you want to UNPLUG (no WiFi 👍🏼) and just relax and see Belize, we recommend it. You will need to be able to buy and cook food for yourself for most of your meals while staying here but Bruce’s place has got everything you need to get along drink your stay.
If you need your modern comforts, pay the extra for the A/C. Download a few shows or movies to your iPad or laptop or phone to watch while you swing in the hammocks at night (we did every single night 🙌🏼).
We spent 5 night and 6 days at Bruce’s and loved each day: DO the River Tubing, DO the ruins (we did Lamanai), and DO go snorkeling with the French Angel team on Caye Caulker - all of the tours guides Bruce uses are amazing! Also, walk or ride the bikes down to Bermudian Landing and go to the Howler Monkey eco reserve and pay the small fee for a tour guide to take you out to try and see the Howler Monkeys in the wild, right in person. Hopefully you get to see some, they are amazing!
Okay - long review but we had such a great time in Belize and Bruce and his team really made it so complete and easy and stress-free. Thank you again Bruce & team! 🙏🏼😍
