⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My husband and I just returned last night from 7 days in Belize. We were at Bocawina Resort for our 30th wedding anniversary, and everyone there made it spectacular. I am more of a beach girl and really went to the jungle as a compromise, and was pleasantly surprised. I absolutely loved it. The staff made it wonderful first of all; so friendly from the minute we arrived until when we departed. So attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the food delicious, but again staff was icing on the cake. I am a city girl, but found myself going on a night time jungle hike, which I told my husband I would assess and decide if I would join once there, and I am happy I went. I am grateful I didn’t hear the howler monkeys prior to that night walk because I would’ve chickened out. Be prepared they do sound like dinosaurs but what an experience hearing that. I had the most amazing massage from Anna outside, under a beautiful tree, listening to the birds with a slight breeze - heavenly. We also ziplined and hiked lower Bocawina Falls. Never a dull moment, being outside with nature, spectacular views! Thank you Meilin, Stephen, Brandon, Kaliyah, Eddy, Jose, Emilio, Victor, Anna, and Chelsi for making our stay wonderful!”  -Jean

 

Serenity and Simplicity at Tobacco Caye Paradise

A short journey from the mainland brings you to Tobacco Caye Paradise, a gem in the South Water Caye Marine Reserve. This idyllic island getaway epitomizes the charm of Belize's Caribbean side, offering serene beachfront cabanas that allow guests to wake up to the sound of gentle waves and the soft, warm breeze.

 

 

At Tobacco Caye, life slows down. Visitors can snorkel in the vibrant coral reefs just steps from their cabanas, paddleboard in crystal clear waters, or simply unwind on the sandy beaches. The intimate scale of the island ensures that every guest feels like they have their own private piece of paradise.

“We had a wonderful stay at Tobacco Caye Paradise. .. We had great snorkeling adventures right outside our cabana and around the island, including the guided night snorkel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Meals were plentiful, varied and delicious. Having a cabana with a balcony over the water allowed us to watch rays and other marine life right from our accommodation. Cabanas are quaint and, as advertised, there aren't any amenities such as television (no problem for us), but washrooms were very clean and staff changed our towels and bedding regularly. When we first arrived, we wondered if we would be able to fill a whole week there, but had no problem doing so. The time went too quickly.” - Jim
