Thinking ahead a few years, I can imagine how great it would be as an old codger to wake up every morning and see the barrier reef and feel the sea breezes and eating mangos and bananas for breakfast ... as opposed to being in some smelly nursing home in the USA.

I just hope that if someone tries it on Ambergris Caye that they won't take the usual Belize route of trying to make up for volume by charging high prices. That's how the hotel industry in Belize got into the situation it's in now, overbuilt and with some of the lowest average occupancy rates in the Americas.
