what an incredible place, this is one of the worlds best kept secrets, and I own an Adventure Travel Magazine. Eddies place, as I like to call it, feels a lot more like visiting a friend than staying at a resort, only this friend lives in a world heritage site known for the best tropical beaches and waters in the...

I recently spent two weeks in Belize and visited Ambergis, Caye Caulker and Isla Marisol on Glover's Reef The best experience of my trip was undoubtedly Marisol. I went diving and fishing at all three places and feel the experience at Isla Marisol was by far the best. The small island resort is only a few minutes boat ride to... More

We had such a fun time at Isla Marisol. I want to preface this review by saying this resort is generally geared to divers. If you want to while away the hours at a Sandals resort this is not quite the same experience. We had problems with the water and toilets almost every day but the fact that you can... More

We just returned from a week at Isla Marisol in October, and can hardly wait to go back! This eco friendly resort (wind and solar powered) lies 39 miles off the coast from Dangriga, Belize. it sits on Glover's Reef Atoll, so if you're into snorkeling or diving, you are literally 5 minutes from your dive sites. We snorkeled the... More

Now that the title has revealed an essence of "island" lifestyle, I feel I can digress. It's a very small island. What they bring on to the island, they take off. What needs to be replaced or fixed, generally won't occur until you leave (unless it's some minor fix). Take for example, running out of propane to heat your shower.... More

We came to Marisol for our honeymoon and it was absolutely the perfect postcard honeymoon experience - quaint, cozy cabanas with hammocks and little wooden chairs where you could sit and read on your own private porch, the wind rustling through the trees, vibrant pink and white conch shells lining the steps and walkways (not to mention tons of live...

What made Isla Marisol so special was the staff. They were friendly, helpful, and dedicated to making my vacation a success. From the owner, to the kitchen staff, to the dive masters, to all the people who work behind the scenes cleaning and maintaining the grounds and rooms--- everyone was friendly and helpful. Thank you for a fabulous holiday! Wonderful... More

From reading all the posts about the area, I was most worried about bug bites, but we had no problems there --- well, 3 or 4 mosquito bites each in a week's time and we didn't wear any protection (but we sure did during our week in the jungle --- natural ones, no DEET for us). We were there in... More

I just returned at the beginning of June from a week of brilliant diving and magnificent hospitality provided by Eddie and his excellent staff. The resort is really an eco-resort. These wonderful people are trying to live off the grid and tread lightly on the environment. They are 39-miles from the mainland and are providing all their own utilities by... More
