The house is tucked away in the safety of a small village outside of the busy city. The distance was not a concern because the host, Adrienne, provided all of our transportation needs. When we wanted to schedule excursion, Adrienne made all of the contacts, scheduled our tours, and provided the transportation to and from the house. The home is found on a beautiful piece of property where a family of howler monkeys live in the trees just outside the home. A gorgeous view from the balcony porch and large outlook windows allows guests to watch tropical birds, iguanas, and other local wildlife. We enjoyed taking walks on the beautiful property, canoeing in the water in the back yard, and riding bikes to the local village.
A full size kitchen allows guest to cook for themselves. Adrienne took us to a local grocery store after picking us up from the airport. He also gave us other options for food (taking us to local restaurants or placing orders to a local woman to have meals delivered to the house).
As the home continues to get renovations, the comfort of the home will increase. The bathroom is only blocked off by a curtain, so make sure that everyone is aware and comfortable with the lack of privacy. The renovations indicate a more private bathroom will be built soon though (and possibly a second bedroom).
Overall, our stay was very enjoyable, and I believe that this place provides everything we needed to have an unBELIZEable vacation: transportation, local contacts, a helpful host, comfortable home, and most importantly... safety. We felt very safe at this home.
