Three days at the Black Orchid Resort

We – Calvin and Sam – are British, the last 5 years we’re living in Portugal, where we own a resort (www.tipialgarve.com). Right now we are for three days at the Black Orchid Resort in Belize (first time in this country!).

Our first afternoon we spent laying in hammocks beside the river watching howler monkeys in the trees, there were also many different species of birds with wonderful colors & songs. There was a huge orange iguana who seemed to be the boss.

We ate all our meals in the Black Orchid restaurant including fresh fish & steaks. We had a great breakfast on the terrace with tasty fresh fruit waffles & all types of freshly made juices. The staff are always attentive & willing to help.

Today we made day trip to Mayan ruins Altun-Ha which we enjoyed. After seeing the ruins we spent the afternoon at SPA, where we got full body massage, body wraps and reflexology. Our drivers were both very easy to talk making the whole experience something to remember. Thank you to all the staff, keep up the good work!
