I am a terrible travel snob. (I was once a travel editor), and I am always fearful of properties that stamp 'Pampered Tourist' onto the local landscape. But this property did not do that. It was perfect, and there must have been a lot of thought put in by the owner and architect to achieve its lovely, local vibe. It was utterly comfortable, had a glorious position, a really lovely pool and just the right level of laid back luxury, but totally in fitting in with the Belizian surroundings. Some of the hotels in town were high rise, and stuck out like sore thumbs above the palm tree line. (Awful!) This property did not. It was clean, practical, spacious and had a lovely Caribbean feel. You just had to sit on the balcony, surrounded by waving palms, and bougainvillea, and immediately you knew you were somewhere special. I loved that it was out of town a way, so it was also very peaceful and quiet. At night, the stars were spectacular from the dock. A special shout out to Don and Nazle who were our hosts and could not have been more helpful and kind. They made us feel so welcome and part of a bigger Belizean community.... I loved talking to them and hearing about the island. I have recommended this place already to friends and won't hesitate to come back if they'll have us.
