Shallow waters around Cayo Espanto's private island teem with candy colored fish and help turn guests into avid wildlife spotters. Visit for adroit service in laid-back Belize.
EXPERIENCE
When a hotel looks out onto lapping Caribbean Sea, it quickly becomes a gawk-worthy obsession. Mornings of mirrored, still waters that turn into splashing afternoon surf will make guests feel at one with the fishes.
The private island retreat of Cayo Espanto was probably willed away from mainland Belize by the same, seaward looking vacationers. The private docks, snorkeling guests, and teeming reefs puncture the endless blue of the ocean, and provide something to watch during the staring episodes. Try kayaking or fly-fishing when you're ready to get into the water.
The ever-accommodating Cayo Espanto chefs create a daily menu of stunningly perfect bites. Only when you recall being asked for your favorite foods can you stop suspecting their psychic abilities.
The suite's splash pool, veranda, and outdoor shower bring all the cushy comforts of home to this outdoorsy Belize escape.
