February 2020

I want to extend my heart filled thanks and appreciation to Ryan and Jessica, owners of Beaches and Dreams as well as Francine, their hospitality manager.

Ryan was very patient and accommodating over the past year, as it took us several attempts to get our act together to plan and book this trip. When we finally made a commitment and booked our accommodations at B&D, they arranged our diving for us with a local diving shop.

Francine put together a proposed itinerary for our group that not only included the diving, but some local land activities to take in. She was very flexible to cancel these plans and let us decide what activities we wanted to do after we arrived.

Beaches and Dreams is a small boutique resort that easily accommodated our group of 6. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. Some of us enjoyed the air conditioning in their main hotel room while the rest of us enjoyed the cabanas on the beach.

The meals provided by the Barracuda Restaurant and Grill were excellent and their daily specials were creative and different in order to keep the menu “fresh”. The chefs were also able to accommodate our dietary needs by adjusting their use of wheat and dairy in the entrees.

The real commitment of Ryan, Jessica and Francine to their guests was evident on our last day of diving when my husband displayed symptoms of decompression sickness. Francine knew and contacted a local dive safety specialist in San Pedro, Abner Bacab, who arranged an air evacuation for us to San Pedro, met us at the airport, accompanied us to the doctor’s office and hyperbolic chamber for treatments. Francine handled our other needs by booking accommodations for us in San Pedro and Jessica, drove us to the Dangriga airport and shipped our luggage to us the next day, because we literally left with the clothes on our back!

We are personally indebted to B&D for handling this situation as well the team of people in San Pedro who provided the medical care my husband required. Our lovely trip to Belize could have ended very differently without their extra ordinary care and concern. More read less - 727lesliel
