Yes he has dogs and yes they bark...EVERYONE in Corozal Town does. I got to know them and petted them each and every time I came and went. Yes they have a school behind them...it's the sound of children and life, if you want complete seclusion then look elsewhere. The place is quite small but has everything you might need, best for one person as I found myself uncomfortable wanting to watch March Madness while Bebe was trying to sleep. Oscar was very helpful, picking us up in Chetumal and answering any questions or requests and yet if you want privacy there was plenty of that. All in all it was a wonderful experience and simply love Corozal Town and will be returning to live in retirement.
