Areca house was very clean, private and comfortable. Great place for a base camp to explore the area around including the jaguar preserve and bocawina national park. Lots of snorkeling and scuba tours around the area, Belize underwater had a great tour for a decent price. Having access to the jaguar reef resort made the place even better, staff at the resort were friendly and accommodating when they knew you were from the Areca house which is directly across the street from the resort. There is a nice pathway to enter the resort area right across the street so it only takes about 1 minute to be on the beach with chairs set up. Overall a great deal and in a very nice location.
