Turtle Inn

Rating: 4 star

Evaluation:

Region: Southern Belize

Welcome to your own Caribbean paradise. Just beyond your private deck, the white Caribbean sands dissolve into a clear-water world of unspoiled coral reefs, playful dolphins and bright exotic fish. North of the Creole fishing village of Placencia, this marine retreat combines natural wonders with luxury amenities, two restaurants, attentive staff and fine dining. Experience the world’s best salt-water fly-fishing or go snorkeling in miles of untouched barrier reef. Visit the world’s only jaguar reserve, or cruise up the Monkey River and observe tropical birds, iguanas, manatees, crocodiles, and howler monkeys. From scenic strolls to scuba diving, the Turtle Inn staff will provide the region’s most knowledgeable and trusted guides. Enjoy Accommodations in the spirit of this natural landscape. Charming cabanas of bleached thatch and native wood mingle with the beach’s palm and sea grape. Under the thatched roofs, quiet ceiling fans invite sweet sea air and flora-scents to perfume the tropical interiors. Just steps from a beautiful stretch of beach each cottage has a panoramic view of the sea, private garden with outdoor shower, screened porch, bathroom with Japanese bath, and queen-sized bed. All the rooms feature Balinese hand-carved doors and decor. Lobster, prawns and conch cook over glowing coconut husks at the Gauguin beach grill. Traditional family recipes are prepared in an Italian wood-burning oven. Select a table in the open-air dining room or something more romantic – a candlelit table on the ocean’s edge. Miles of white sand beach dip into the azure sea. Cool trade winds brush the southern shores as they fan the coconut palms. Plant a lounge chair at the water’s edge and dip your toes into the warm tide. Whether you want to slip on a diving mask and explore the waters around the Inn or hire a water taxi to take you to spectacular reefs at nearby cayes, Turtle Inn is the ideal base while exploring this natural wonder.
