Those days in-between Christmas and New Year's when you don't know what day it is, what year it is or how late it is... that's what Belize feels like all the time. Let's go slow and take it easy! ✨

The scarlet macaws are back! 🦜

There are reports that the scarlet macaws are back at Red Bank - early this year. I highly recommend this half day trip. Get there early - before sunrise if possible - pick up a guide in the village and watch the flocks fly in from the west. Or make it late afternoon when they gather to fly to their roost. And if you are lucky, you will see them bunch up to feed on fruiting trees like this image taken last year. I also recommend a side trip to the valley behind the hills which use to be a feeding ground for the macaws and is now the Mennonite villages of Roseville and Nueland - farmland.

Are you looking for one of Belize's best beaches? Pick Placencia! Although located on a peninsula, Placencia looks and feels like an island. This small village is a great destination for a family vacation, a romantic honeymoon, or even a wedding! And we have the perfect place for you to stay! ✨

"We LOVED everything about Tipsy Gecko. The place is even more beautiful than it looks in the pictures. The staff was so friendly and helpful, but unobtrusive. Having daily laundry service was a special bonus. The chef made us two wonderful dinners, and we had leftovers enough for an extra meal. We didn't use him for any other meals, but I would do so on future trips.

The grounds and house are meticulously maintained and well stocked, with kayaks, paddle boards, pool floats, towels, books and games. A snack was waiting for is when we checked in. ×
The location is perfect. We were picked up on the dock for several excursions (fishing, snorkeling) and it was an easy drive to Placencia for dinner, or in the gold cart to nearby restaurants. Can't wait to return!"
