Palmetto Grove is incredible if you’re looking for a unique stay off the beaten path, and you know that your money is going directly to hardworking locals. You can tell how much hard work Uwahnie has put into making the forest look the way the area did for Afro-Indigenous locals prior to the resorts taking over much of the beachfront in Belize! She’s a super sweet host. The place is very serene. The two dogs on property are fun greeters. There are have plenty of events on property to meet other travelers. And the kayaking and biking experience was a fun way to get around the area. If you decide to go back into the town as opposed to cooking with Uwahnie, be sure to check the spots that are owned by Garífuna families for amazing lunches and dinners.
