Resort Upgrades, New Cafe and Deck, Thatch Roof, Wireless Hotspot, Internet Cafe

Life at the Belize Jungle Dome continues to move on. We are now giving English lessons to some of our employees.

The two ladies have never been to school so having personal English lessons is a totally unique experience for them. Today is their second lesson and we had to move them already because they were embarassed about being seen.

Our Resort has seen alot of improvements in the last 8 months.

  • Upgrades to all our rooms
  • New roof (very important due to the old cedar shingle roof leaking badly)
  • Swimming pool upgrades
  • New flight of stairs to the back deck where we also built a Terrace and 2 Thatch Roofs for guests.
  • Cafe and Bar built by the Back Deck. Selling smoothies, juices, coffee, teas, ice cream etc.
  • Wireless hotspot installed around the Resort
  • Internet in the Cafe and also TV

Some very nice improvements to make the Tourists experience at Banana Bank Lodge and the Belize Jungle Dome a happy one.

New Travel Packages for Central America

We have decided to start offering more all inclusive vacation packages. From next year onwards will be working together with our friends in Merida and we will be offering trips that include Mexico, Belize and possibly even Guatemala. There is a lot of organizing to be done, before we can dive in. We need first class vehicles, brilliant guides (for the Mexico part…we already have fantastic guides in Belize) & we need a few more great resorts to work with. I’m totally looking forward to it. It will be good fun. And of course, we have to go on more research trips to Mexico. Now that’s the kind of work that I like!

Belize vs Mexico

I have just returned from 1 week vacation in Mexico traveling around the Yucatan region to Merida, Vallodolid and Chichen Itza.1 thing that strikes me about the difference in tourism is how far advance mexico is with its access, organisation etc of their sites.For instance Chichen Itza is almost like a florida theme Park. Apparently in the high season 60,000 people a day visit the ruins which are incredibly impressive. Row upon row of coaches and buses are lined up in the car park and you wait patiently in line to enter Chichen Itza which is a wonderful park.Driving through the Yucatan is a lonely trip, but evry few hours the tell-tale sign of mayan gift shops crop up indicating a new set of Temples approaching.

The mexican government seems to have really made a plan to get tourists to its sites. With dual lane highways intersecting major high roads in the middle of the yucatan where you see nothing for hours on end. Anyway i just wonder if this is the sign of things to come in Belize. Will Caracol be the next or Actun Tunichil Muknal?? I have been arguing the pros and cons of all this development with my wife about what will happen to Belize over the next 5-10 years. But what we both agree on is that although less developed, Belize has a charm and uniqueness that will no doubt dissipate in time, but for the present grab your opportunity to get a vacation in a country where the 'theme park temples' do not yet exist. And you really do get to spend special moments almost alone at some of the most sacred sites in the yucatan.

Had a great vacation. I can thoroughly recommend Merida.If anyone wants to see a picture of the Chichen Itza entrance i have some great pics. Just send me an email and i will give you the link.

All the best Andy
