This experience at Howler House was one of the best we've ever had. Rustic surroundings, setting and space made for an instant transition from our world to the laid back vibe of Belize and Burrell Boom. From the minute we met Tinnie at the airport, and she brought us to the grocery store, showed us around 'town' we knew we were in good hands. We met the crocodile, Shakira, in the pond, and visited daily with the howler monkeys in the trees. There are no glass windows...just screens....no problem with bugs. The river view is fantastic, and it is a very central location for getting around to other attractions. Make sure Miss Erika hooks you up with the River Tour to Lamanai. We also went cave tubing near Belmopan, the Zoo, and the "Baboon" reserve - tons of fun! The next door neighbor bailed us out of a jam, and Miss Carol at the local fast food (fried chicken) place was a wealth of info about the local culture. All in all, a wonderful location.
