Came from Blancaneaux Lodge on a private plane... to the San Pedro Airport where we waited to be picked up for about an hour! And it was HOT!!! The airport is quite small so there wasn't much to do for an hour... Anna then shows up in a small golf cart which is NOT working appropriately! We are then transported around the island because Anna needed to run some "errands"- thought ok, maybe we get to see the island this way. Fine... These errands took forever! We were then transported to yet another cart because the one were picked up in did not work! Then we finally get to the boat. BUT we don't leave immediately, we must of waited ANOTHER hour for them to get it togther. Then guess what?! They had to run MORE errands while we were on the boat! I was ready to BLOW my top! I just put my headphones on and mentally went to another world to calm myself down. ALL I wanted to do was just lay down and relax AFTER all those darn errands we had to do!!!! Extremely frustrated once we got to the Resort. I think it with of been an amazing feeling if it all worked appropriately... "getting whisked away from the airport to a boat that then takes you to your isolated resort retreat" BUT NO!! Sounds like from the reviews that this is something that happens a lot more often since people are extremely pleased. But I did read a couple where Anna forces the clients to go with her to run errands! This is NOT acceptable! These things should be taken care of prior to picking up the customers.
Once you arrive, you do feel like you're in your own island since the resort seems to be the last resort along the shore.
You know who made my trip?! Pany!!! He is just AMAZING! Loved him... he is a national treasure here at Belize. He took us out to the ocean while he did his own expedition. Just three of us including Pany. He is a wealth of information, I could of sat with him for more hours just listening to him and his stories. You can tell he genuinely has an affinity for people!! I think the man is half man, half fish!! He brought back some conch shells where he then gave the meat inside to the kitchen to make some ceviche! It was TRULY the BEST ceviche I have EVER had! EVER!!! The bar is amazing since it sits on right on top of the water. I got to see a huge school of manta rays swim up to the restaurant! Like I read in another review, the food is not the best. Just the Ceviche was outstanding! But if you're looking to get away, you WILL be away from it all! The world will seem SO far away! The pictures are exactly a replica of what you will run into... Do know, there is no pool on the premises. The beach is your pool and you don't really need anything else. The size of the rooms are perfect. Quite large! They even have kitchens... I quite often reminisce of this amazing experience and wonder also how Mr. Pany is doing... Do know that if you're looking for 5 star to 4 star treatment, this is NOT the place for you. It's all about relaxing and enjoying the "true" nature. This place is NOT hoity toity, people are completely REAL!
