My experience was beautiful at Diana’s and all my days in Belize. The place is chill and so is Diana. Crystal was also very kind and helpful. I had read reviews of the place and trusted it was a good spot. I was so happy with everything there. It is totally relaxed and a gorgeous spot. I rode a bike around most days and realized how unique the house, grounds, space is.
I stayed in the treehouse. It blew me away! It’s private. The room is large! It’s super clean and simple. Great bed. It has windows on all sides and a ceiling fan. I was always super comfortable. There’s a terrace with a hammock, chair and bench. Oh, outdoor shower was a big space surrounding a tree. There’s a hanging laundry ring with clips. Super useful. I washed and hung clothing every day and they would dry completely. The surrounding foliage is gorgeous.
I loved the kitchen (cafe) and terrace for morning tea. I met some really cool folks that stayed there and chatted usually morning time. I bought fruit & vegetables at produce stand and homemade tortillas from market (both really close to house and cheap$.) I prepared many meals in the kitchen. Everything I needed to do so was there.
There’s lots of books on Belize (and other reads too) in the cafe. I didn’t need to bring one. I fed off info from other travelers too and decided where I wanted to snorkel. I didn’t take tours, but good info is available from the experience of Diana and guests about those.
I kept it simple each day. I swam off a pier near Palapa restaurant. I loved that spot, though I suggested it to a guest and they weren’t into it. I still am firm on how great it is. Locals swim there mostly it seems. I saw the same kids doing flips off the pier a lot of times. I was at ease there. My backpack never bothered.
I stayed 11 nights in the treehouse. I hope to return to the exact spot!
