Staying at the bird houses was great. The host was very attentive and provided lots of information on where to go where to eat and how to get there. The area is very safe you’re in the middle of everything but however feel somewhat secluded I do have a waterfront property but not for swimming at least I wouldn’t. There are bicycles and we highly suggest using them instead of a golf cart just make sure to lock them up. The only downside to the house would be if you had an issue physically with stairs it is a small set to get to the loft it does have a very sturdy handrail but just keep that in mind if you have mobility issues. A little to note about the town don’t be afraid to eat from the street vendors they are amazing, the Caveman tours were great, and the split is obviously a lot of fun. I do not however suggest that you jump off the diving platform at the split because I literally broke my butt. I have a sacral fracture that made the last day riding bikes in the island and travel home. I WOULD NOT eat dinner at Pasta Per Casa. When we arrived at the restaurant and I said table for two the gentleman that approached us said “reservation“ I said no I had no idea I would need one at that point he said “I’ve got pasta to go get no no service for you” and walked off. Didn’t offer a reservation the following evening or maybe even take out. We left and went to another restaurant named II Pellicano Cucina A little further on the other side of the Island but that’s not saying much since you can bicycle there. The atmosphere there was absolutely amazing they have live music every night extremely clean and the food was definitely better. I say that because of the reviews I had to go back to see what Pasta per Casa was all about. After traveling to Italy more than once I can say it was probably the worst sauce and pasta I’ve ever had. It was also probably the most unfriendly experience we had on in the entire Belize trip. I know what you are thinking “your in Belize and it’s pasta why” after being in Belize for almost 2 weeks there is only so much stewed chicken rice and beans fried jacks and seafood you can eat daily. The restaurant prides itself stating that they are original Italian owners. Enough about restaurant reviews though the bird houses were absolutely amazing there was a great view it was extremely clean and the host was very kind.
