Belize: soggiorni in alloggi su un'isola

This island and this experience, made so wonderful by our hosts, was one for the memory books! Our 2 days off the coast of Belize on “our own private island” was so incredible! Half of the island was ours with our private cabana and the most perfect deck with a hammock for afternoon naps…and the family’s home with their bar/restaurant was on the other half. The family’s way of life is different than most, but so interesting to learn about. The respect they have for nature is inspiring. Our food came straight from the ocean by Dustin, was prepared by Kim and placed on our plates—it was delish! Nick even got to dive after our conch we had for lunch. The best snorkeling I’ve ever seen, kayaking, napping, drinking, eating, chatting, relaxing and just being made this a memorable experience! We LOVED our time with the Ingersoll family! Oh,and bring beef jerky, trust me.

We loved our honeymoon at the Therapy cabins! Although there is the option to have Eugene take you on adventures, or to nearby areas for tours, we took the opportunity to slow down, relax and read books in the hammocks on the dock for a few days (with some kayaking around the island). The cabin was spotlessly clean and the mini split AC unit in the bedroom could get it impressively cool at night. Emily’s cooking was phenomenal and would absolutely recommend doing this, we did only breakfasts and dinners and could hardly finish the leftovers for lunch. It was so amazing the level of luxury on this off the grid island! The therapy dogs Bella and Bruno were an added bonus for these dog lovers, they helped us spot dolphins on multiple occasions. We absolutely recommend and hope to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mangata Villa! We can’t wait to go back. The hosts arranged our golf cart and met us at the airport so they could guide us back to the resort. Jennifer was very responsive with any questions I had and helped get our tours and massages booked. We highly recommend staying here! The pizza at Moon bar was also delicious😊

L emplacement de cette île est tout simplement parfait. Tout près de la barrière de corail nous avons eu la chance de faire du snorkeling dans un endroit magique et inoubliable. L’équipe de cindiri nous a semblé un peut timide le premier jour, mais si vous prenez la peine d échanger avec eux, vous ferez assurément de belles rencontres. Nous vous conseillons de prendre la formule compète, car nous avons mangé des plats authentiques et délicieux, Fidel et Coco sont de très bons cuisiniers. Marvin quand à lui nous a apprit ses techniques de pêche. Nous vous conseillons de partir en expédition sur la journée, nous avons pu ainsi découvrir les fonds marins avec Dingo qui est une personne très cultivée sur le sujet et qui vous fera peut être découvrir les petits requins cachés sous les rochers. Grâce à cette équipe nous avons pu voir pour la première fois des dauphins nagés tout près du bateau et pêcher deux magnifiques barracudas. Nous n’aurions pas pensé qu’en seulement 6 jours sur l’île nous serions aussi tristes de quitter cette formidable équipe.

It was definitely peaceful, it was out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the main area. They had bikes for us and we used them every day to get around, which was so helpful. We biked up to the north part of the island past the split. There are bugs, bring spray, but they have these little bug repellent machines that definitely help. It was cool that we found out they were from Canada and I’m also from Canada in the same area they were from! Anytime we needed something they were there immediately to help of fix the issue! They had water for us to drink and tea and coffee. They said the only thing is be careful swimming in the evening because alligators could be out. Part of the charm of the Area! We tried to see some, but there were none that we could find. We loved laying out on that dock, doing yoga and just relaxing. It was so beautiful. Highly highly recommend!!

You could cook for yourself but that would be insane. Alfredo and Hermita are wonderful caretakers that attend to every need. Truly the most hospitable. Meals were delicious and prompt. Place was awesome. Only note was showers were hit or miss and some softer lighting would go a long way. But these are minor notes; place was amazing.

This is handsdown the best place I have ever stayed in in my life! Our experience here we will treasure forever. Not only is it stunning and so intimate especially in the evenings when the day guest have left, the staff are the kindest people and very attentive. We had the absolute pleasure of meeting and spending time with King Lewey and Queen Kathy and they also made sure our experience was truly unforgettable. This tiny and beautiful island has so many fun activities to do and the food and drinks are 10 out of 10. I couldn't recommend staying here more if I tried!

Me and my cousin stayed for about a week and really enjoy ourselves. Very relaxing and lots to do! Host was responsive and gave recommendations/tips. Plan on returning!
