We stayed in Areca House for the first half of our family’s first trip to Belize and I wish we’d stayed for our whole vacation as everywhere else we went was a huge disappointment by comparison. The house is small, but worked well for our family of two adults and two young children, there’s an air conditioner in each room, the host was excellent to communicate with, and getting to enjoy Jaguar Reef resort across the street as well as various places in Hopkins was the exact Belize experience we were hoping for.
