As a solo backpacker, I felt extremely cared for and safe staying in the area. Linda, Shaun, and their two children were amazing! They were very kind, generous, and helped me plan each day (Linda even called a bunch of people for details). We even worked out together one day!! Their house was very spacious and clean. If this is your first time to Belize, I highly recommend staying with them for a couple of days, initially, to have the extra guidance!
