Our team has lived, worked, and traveled in Belize for over 25 years.
During the past 20 years, the move from retail travel outlets to online booking agencies has eliminated much of the personal contact. Today, it is not easy to get honest third-party information. There are review sites such as TripAdvisor. However, they are not always informative enough or completely accurate. A fantastic vacation is more likely, if the person chooses the right vacation for their needs.
However, if a person is not given accurate information prior to the booking and chooses wrongly, they will likely be disappointed.
Most vacationers need to do their own research about the area. They need to search information about restaurants, bars, tour operators and other attractions.
We recognized a gap in the vacation market! We want to ensure that our vacationers and members minimize hours of guess work, unknowns, and possible disappointments and choose the best possible Belize vacation for their needs.
