i love the people, the staff are incredible. bernaby, carlos, abel, walter, vita, the caves branch guides, are simply amazing. how vita got my camera out dry is beyond me. the adventures they take us on are those that one remembers a lifetime.
the grounds are simply beautiful. lots of flowers, plants of every kind, orchids, bromeliads, ferns, so many kinds of birds of paradise.... i'm a plant freak, i have 30 varieties of ferns, and i am blown away by the grounds at Caves Branch.
The rooms i dream about til i'm there next. you go to sleep with the sounds of the jungle, and wake up with them too. Those nights have many treasured memories....
and the rope swing and swimming hole. what a way to start every day. and to spend relaxing afternoons and evenings chatting with family and friends.
you can see how much i love it from my pics:

http://AmbergrisCaye.com/pages/photos/546.html walter and abel got my wife off the black hole drop, along with my teenage kids, as well as myself, safely and calmly. when she saw the drop, i thought 25 years of marriage were gone kaput.
