Honeymoons on the brain part dos

yesterday i left you all off with why we chose and didn't end up going to Hawaii, where did we next consider you might ask...well we were heavily considering, wait for it..... BELIZE

it's a little off the beaten track...but it was one of those places that they recommend for honeymoon destinations if you google honeymoon november...whats great about Belize is that it is english speaking, not THAT far in the caribbean and very eco tourism friendly (this was what would've sold us)... upon further investigation though i realized that it's not that easy to get to the major resorts...you will have to either take a boat or plane to ambergis island or in our case a commuter flight to placencia or drive like 2 hours on some not so great roads...but let me show you the awesomeness that is Blancaneaux and Turtle Inn before you knock the travel
firstly they're both Francis Ford Coppola resorts... the man opened them!

Nestled in the forests and mountains of Belize you'll find the 5 star luxury resort known as Blancaneaux, feast your eyes on THIS paradise:

imagine your honeymoon dinner here
imagine your first nights and husband and wife in your own private forest cabana

frolic and play with your new husband in the pool
wake up to this spectacular view:
not enough privacy? how about your own plunge pool?


In Belize you'll be able to hike mountains, explore rain forests, mayan ruins, horeseback riding and canoeing...sounds pretty awesome for a little something different from your average tropical honeymoon right?

unfortuntely though, there was a recent beetle infestation and a lot of the forestation has been destroyed, i've read that it's started to grow back but who knows when it will return to its formal glorious self...but i'm sure one day chris and i will make our way to Blancaneaux...

oh and to make matters even easier, you can book a honeymoon package or adventure package where they will take care of EVERYTHING for you. arrange the travel from the belize city airport, to the private air strip, francis ford coppola champagne welcome, all meals will be taken care of and all excursions will be planned for you with guides, and of course arrangements to go home...what more can you ask for in a luxurious forest retreat?

but there is one big downside, for those that are very heat sensitive, there is no air conditioning on the properties...so you might wanna consider the season and location before you book...

stick around for what turtle inn has to offer, you won't wanna miss it, i promise
