It’s the ultimate get away to fly fish, scuba dive and recharge

If you want to experience a small island focused on fishing and diving this is your place. It’s about an hour and a half from Belize city by boat.

The whole island can’t be more than 5 acres total but has everything you need, The rooms are gorgeous stained and lacquered wood, top to bottom. There is both an indoor and outdoor shower. The beds are comfortable and well-appointed with soft linens.

Before you actually go to a great breakfast you are brought fresh coffee along with freshly baked slices of bread. They are delivered to the table of your screened-in porch, at your requested time. Each morning all the items were hot and fresh. Once you’ve had your morning coffee and warm slices of bread and watched the sunrise over the water you then head to breakfast for a larger variety of breakfast items. 

The fishing was wonderful and the guides will put you on fish all day long. They have a good basic lunch for you so you don’t have to head back in and can get the most out of the day. One day we stopped at a 40 foot by 40-foot island to eat and just relax before heading to deeper water to go for Permit.

I only dove one day but it was excellent drift diving. Going down the anchor line we were treated to a nice shark in the base of the coral head. The boat will follow the group’s bubbles so pick up at the end of drift was a breeze. We saw more lionfish then we cared for but I think this is how things are changing at most dive locations.

They have a pool and a great poolside bar to relax before and after dinner. The meals were top-level and flavorful. One night we had excellent fresh conch fritters. I consider myself a conch fritter snob and was very pleased.

The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. This was like going to visit a happy and gracious family for a week.

If you don’t fish, dive, or like to sit all day this may not be your place. If you do, you will be well rewarded and recharged.
