Beautiful. The cooperatives felt like a shakedown, though, with disinterested presenters explaining the work and then hovering until a purchase wasade.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I truly appreciate your comments, Pen. I’m very sorry to hear that your experience at the hotel wasn’t the best. I’ll be passing this information along to the hotel manager and reservations team, as it’s definitely an area where improvements can be made. I completely agree with you, a place as beautiful as that deserves a level of service that truly matches the overall experience. Thank you again for being so open and honest.... Read more

Thank you again for being so open and honest. I’ll also be sure to pass along your message to Vinicio; he was genuinely excited to meet you and had nothing but great things to say about you.

Hopefully, our paths cross again. If you ever plan another trip to Belize, I’d be more than happy to help. :)

Wishing you and Valerie a wonderful day.

Best regards from Antigua,
Alex
