I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. I took these photos last September on my honeymoon in Belize, San Pedro island. None of these photos are Photoshoped and most were taken with a film camera.
My husband and I were some of the only people at the secluded resort so we had the amenities and staff almost completely to ourselves! We stayed at the Porofino Resort on the north end of the island. Side note: they really need to update their website because in no way does the site do it justice. Long docks line the shoreline and you have to take a boat to get into town. In fact, once you land in Belize, to get to the island you have to take a ride in a puddle jumper for 15 min. then another 20 min boat ride to the resort.
Everywhere we ate was fantastic; the people were the best; and the entire island was magical. Belize is known for some of the best diving/snorkeling in the world. One of the other couples staying at the resort (there were so few we got to know them all) the husband worked for the oceanographic arm of National Geographic; he said Belize was the best place he's ever been for diving and snorkeling. Ryan and I were able to swim with sharks and stingrays, lion fish and eels, and a lot of other kinds of sea life I couldn't begin to name.
All the rooms are beach casitas with a porch and a hammock. We relaxed in the hammock almost every night before bed.
This was our view from our room.
There are Mayan ruins, wonderful tropical sea and land life, unbelievable food, gorgeous scenery, and some of the kindest people in the world. I'm not sure what state of affairs Belize is in since the hurricane that hit a couple months ago but from what I understand, Portofino is still in business and giving the same great service.
I'm sharing all this with you today because I wanted to share my experience in case you're planning a trip in the future. Belize is definitely a place you should put on your list.
If you've been or plan on going, I would love to hear from you!
