This was our second time here. It’s been taken over by new owners and even though it was great before it’s truly wonderful now as they put nice finishing touches & brought in amazing caretakers! Julian and Iris are true gems and they are what makes this place extra special!!! There are many beautiful natural places in the world to visit but nothing tops the warmth and hospitality of the Belizeans, and Julian and Iris not only live up to that expectation but they definitely exceeded it on every level. We loved it before and we really appreciated this time being able to cook our catch & use the main house common areas. Irises home-cooked breakfasts are amazing !! This is an off grid experience without air-conditioning so you must be able to tolerate whatever climate conditions prevail. That said, as Floridians we don’t mind the heat in fact we welcome it. This place is growing but not too quickly and the water is simply stunning. And while we were a little disappointed that they no longer had free paddle boards for us to use, we did manage to rent a couple times from the local bar concession team which is on site. All of the other amenities and perks were worth the trade off - and by that I mostly mean those amazing breakfasts & the warmth of the staff who are super pleasant and accommodating at all times. We love Belize and we really love this place, we will always come back - not just because of the beauty but because of the incredible hospitality of the local Belizeans. And did I mention those amazing memory foam mattresses?? Incredibly comfortable !
