For beautiful beaches and only a handful of people,
head south to Placencia. Less commercial than Ambergris, Placencia is
all about relaxation and rejuvenation. At the very tip of a long and
narrow peninsula the town is a sleepy place with just a few shops and
restaurants. To the north of the town are a number of good quality hotels,
all with good beach frontage looking out over the Caribbean. Further
south in Belize is the farming heartland of Toledo. Only recently opened
up to tourism the scenery is varied and dramatic. The mighty Maya Mountains
loom over the land, wildlife is ever present. There are a number of important
archaeological sites, most of which are un-restored with jungle encroaching
upon them.
Properties
The Lodge

At present there are only six cabanas and the property has a wonderful
homely feel to it. Each of the spacious cabanas has been well designed with a
thatched roof, comfortable beds and good quality bathroom. Outside there are
hammocks. Activities from the lodge include guided walks, visits to local Mayan
sites and kayaking along the river that cuts through the lodge’s grounds.
