Hospitality and service were superb

Your place, hospitality and service were superb. We have not stayed in a place where we felt more comfortable in such a beautiful setting. The staff was attentive to all our needs. The cave tour was fantastic and will be a highlight of our touring adventures. When we return to Belize you will be on our agenda. Thank you for showing us such a wonderful time. Steve and Donna Oldfield

We may never find anything that compares

We have been in heaven here. We have been many places but truly, we can finally say without a doubt, which is our favorite, its Chaa Creek. We will never stop telling the world about it. Thanks so much for all the years and energy you have taken to make it exist. In our life we may never find anything that compares. Kim Henry and Bill Niccoles, Seattle, Washington, USA

A special place

Feast Belize

Garifuna cuisine

Traditional Garifuna foods are based around fish, chicken, cassava, bananas, and plantains. A major staple of the diet is cassava. Cassava is extremely versatile and is made into bread, drinks, puddings and even wine! Cassava bread is served with most meals. Hudutu is a very common meal, consisting of fish cooked in a coconut broth (a close cousin to seré in Creole cuisine) and served with mashed plantains or yams. Dharasa is the Garifuna version of a tamale made with green bananas. It can be made either sweet or sour.
