Cayo Has 3 of the 5 Top Quality Resorts

Cayo Has 3 of  the 5 Top Quality Resorts | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

This article highlights the 5 best resorts out of the 35 they visited.  3 of them are in Cayo.  Chaa Creek, Blancaneaux, and Caves Branch are praised for how stunning they are.  Congratulations!

 

"Belize has many fabulous places for tourists to stay.  Although the average size of hotels in the country is under 25 rooms, there are a;so some really exceptional luxury hotels and resorts available.  These top end establishments are truly outstanding with a consistent superb quality and a general ambiance which amply justifies their selection.  Then there are some really terrible ones which cannot be recommended irrespective of personal budget limitations: they are just too awful.  As a specialist in destinations in Belize I recently visited the country and my husband and I inspected 35 hotels in 12 days."

Eco-friendly Ways to Travel the Globe

Chaa Creek has 5 concepts for trying to be eco-friendly while traveling.

 

"In our fast-paced, material-heavy modern world, it can be difficult enough at home to live sustainably: Practicing environmental and ecological ethics on the road is sometimes that much tougher. There’s less under our control; we’re often beholden to local practice and custom about which we know little; and we may, like it or not, be part of a massive tourist horde, the impacts of which are substantial."

 

Number 2 deals with researching tour companies: "Research tour companies you might want to enlist for a leg of the trip, and choose those businesses that practice sound environmental and cultural practices."

Ka'ana gets a great review...and has new pool villas

Ka'ana gets a great review...and has new pool villas | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

 Ka'ana has 2 new villas, and they have private pools!  They got an amazing write up too.

 

"In fact, the name means “heavenly place” in Mayan, and this 15-room, two-villa eco-resort is nothing short of extraordinary. In a lush valley between the Maya Mountains of the Cayo District, the property embodies the spirit of the Mayan natives, utilizing all locally sourced materials, serving food grown in their organic garden (all gourmet and spectacular, of course!), and embracing the aesthetics of the rich native culture. Belize’s natural wonders blend seamlessly with the Hannan brothers’ knack for luxury, as guests are equally encouraged to explore the surroundings and enjoy special touches, such as Western Belize’s largest wine cellar."

One review: "I am disappointed that I can not rate this establishment and its people higher than a 5. In truth a 10 is warranted. The location is beautiful and manicured, the accommodations attractive and charming wall which can only be topped by the warm attentive service of all staff."

We always mention the Iguana Hatchery: "A highly interpretive and educational exhibit has been designed within the Resort’s property in order to create a closer look at this amazing reptile, and to learn how vital they could be to the ecological balance of the river habitat."
