A visit with GOOD weather --
Sun, calm, little clouds, at times a mild wind, and NO rain!! :)
Island -- Big enough to meet all needs and wants. Many areas of various relaxation! Loungers and hammocks were comfortable and plenty; by rooms, under palm trees, near/or over water, all around the island. So cool to see the sun rise on one side of the island, and set on the other. The sun sets behind the Maya mountains, gorgeous! East side was much calmer than the west side of the island. Paddle boards, kayaks, and Hobie cat were all super fun! Thank you captain Butch for taking us out on the Hobie cat! There were many coral heads to check out snorkeling close to the island. Thank you captain Clifford for dropping us off from the boat, and letting us drift and snorkel back to the island! Big thank you to Milan and Marcio for taking us to spear fish and lobster! And, spotting conch shells!! These 2 gentlemen are fish out of water :)
Service -- Thank you to all! Butch, Glenda, Edwin, and Thomas. Always polite and thoughtful, from sunrise to sunset! They're there to serve and make your day special.
Rooms -- OMG! Windows are large throughout the rooms and showers!! Privacy abounds. No need to get out of bed to see the amazing view! Rooms are spacious and the furniture is perfect fit; modern warmth with solid ocean vibes. Chairs are comfy, nice desk, armoire with drawers and a super plush bed that mad it tough to get out everyday :) Thank you for the fridge, well stocked with Belikin and Landshark beers! There is also a room safe, if necessary. Also, a cool water drink dispenser to help keep hydrated. The water pressure and temperature were good. But remember, fresh water is a precious resource on the island. And, no paper products in the toilet.
Food -- Tasty, authentic, and left you full everyday :P Morning was filled with fruits, banana pancakes/French toast, bacon/sausage, hash browns, eggs.....Lunch felt like dinner at times! Dinner was delicious with homemade soups, salad, short ribs, salmon, lobster, and deserts satisfied the sweet tooth. The snacks between meals were great---I couldn't get enough of the conch ceviche/salsa, and yellow tail sashimi! The last nights outdoor bar-b-que was special! The barracuda (we caught on a fishing trip earlier) was cooked to perfection! The ribs were superb! Big thanks to chef Thomas! The beat of the gong with the mallet made meals fun :)
If there were any down moments, one was no sandy beach area with waves crashing into shore. Oh well, too many other great moments to have. Second, we were unable to schedule a dive excursion to Glovers Reef. Quite bummed. We did get to dive South Water Caye area. This wall dive was fun, ~60 feet, very nice 'river' of dark blue wrasse, small size. Many small-medium size parrot fish. Some pretty angel fish. Large Lion fish, so pretty, but a killer, wish I had my spear ;) Very cool to see a 5 foot green moray eel, coming in and out of the coral. We were sure to keep our hands to ourselves, its mouth looked menacing. There was a 2 meter nurse shark swimming all around us. Seemed to be looking for us to feed it. Very very cool. We also saw a medium size sea turtle that swam with us for 1-2 minutes. Did see some bleached coral. Cozumel, still my favorite dive.
Royal Belize -- Thank you for a wonderful, memorable, and relaxing vacation!
