There are grocery stores in San Pedro. The resort is located 12 miles north of San Pedro and therefore it can be advantageous to get groceries before coming to the resort if you so desire.

The weather in Belize is temperate year round & the temperature ranges from 60 to 97degrees. The water in the summer months is close to the temperature of bathe water and is temperate in the winter. 3 mil wetsuits are sometimes used in the winter months but not absolutely necessary.

We are located on a Caribbean island in Belize and we do have mosquitoes & sandflies. Mosquitoes and sand flies can be a nuisance but really only have a strong presence when the trade winds are not blowing. The best protection against the Sand Fleas is a thick coat of baby oil. A deet based bug spray works for the mosquitoes. Generally the bugs appear in the evenings on absolutely calm days. Typically the trade winds that blow keep them at bay. The susceptibility to sand flies varies with the individual.

There are no Malarial mosquitoes on the island but if you are planning trips to the mainland you should consult a doctor specializing in travel medicine.

The winter season from December to April is the season that attracts the most visitors to Belize. This is typically snowbirds getting away from the colder climates. Daytime winter temperatures average 85°F while the sea also averages 85 degrees year round. The trade winds provide a light breeze from the ocean year round, which makes the climate very pleasant, although there is also usually high humidity. Our wedding and honeymoon guests chose May, June and September when the climate is beautiful, the prices are lower, and the flowers are at their best. July and August are popular with family adventurers, and although they often experience a short rain shower, it is quickly over and easily managed. Often during rainy season it rains during the night leaving a sunny and fresh start to the day.

Hurricanes are major events but luckily not frequent. In the hurricane stakes Belize has been relatively fortunate, with less than 5% of the hurricanes that Florida routinely receives. We obviously track hurricanes very carefully at the resort, typically there is at least five days notice if there is any potential threat to the coast of Belize. Our guests are kept fully informed and can track the storm on our computer on site. If it looks as though our area may be seriously threatened, our hurricane plan is to send our guests inland. We are always ready. So to sum up, your chances of a hurricane in Belize are minimal compared to the rest of the Caribbean, Florida and Mexico, but we are always vigilant and ready.

The bug most often talked about on web sites is the sand fly, a tiny bug that nips around the legs and ankles and can cause swelling and itching. The majority doesn't notice them, though a minority has large bumps and an intense itch. Sand fly's are seasonal, typically only become irritating when the breeze goes down in the morning and evening. Wearing socks can prevent them and slacks, covering your bare skin with a think layer of baby oil, or by spraying your legs and ankles with a bug repellant with high Deet content. If you know you tend to be susceptible to bugs bring down an antihistamine and some anti-itch cream. Malaria is found in Belize, but this historically has not been a problem in our area. For further information visit www.cdc.gov/travel/camerica.htm the center for Disease Control and Prevention. A comprehensive website from the US Government. Mosquitoes are also common when the trade winds are not present. The best protection is a Deet based mosquito repellant.

One full Breakfast/person with coffee and orange juice is included in the room charges.
