This was our first experience in Belize, and we were welcomed to an immaculately clean house with fresh local fruits. Aliana was friendly, sweet, and aided us with any questions we had. We also became acquainted with Luis and Maria (two groundskeepers) who were also incredibly helpful and friendly. Luis prepared and drove us to the river where we had a lazy tubing day that took us right back to their property, and Maria was always around in case we needed anything or had any questions. We were invited to a BBQ just down the slope of the property by the river where we got to know Aliana and her husband, Gabrielle, and Maria and Luis. This was one of the highlights of the trip that included delicious local food, good company, and fun stories.
This is the perfect location for those traveling with a vehicle because it's close enough to the city to go in and out of easily, but it's also a nice little safe haven for those not wanting to stay in the hustle and bustle of San Ignacio. Only a short 10 min drive from the city center, this location was the best place we could have chosen for the first week of our honeymoon. The kitchen was fully equipped for any style of cooking; there was easy access to clean water; and it truly felt like paradise. We highly recommend booking with Aliana. She and her helpers were absolutely enchanting.
