Touche, Knickerbocker!!! Well said!!!

Now, when do we break ground on those condos????

To Caulker Resident. No I dont think Aggie wants to hurt Amanda in a manner of seeking her out. we all know people who cant seem to find much satisfaction in things. One of the resons I have no desire to live in the states is that their are soo many folks who put so much importance on THINGS. I am sure Aggie had a bad experience. I have met tourist here who have been hurt, badly hurt. broken leg, stingray stings, and most lately a charming young woman who was mugged. These people still smile, still go on with their vacation, mostly chaulk it up to whatever. Aggie sounds like a unhappy person.a chronic complainer, yet as I dont know her this is just an opinion.

I don't believe SOCAL is Amanda. Methinks Amanda would use a more appropriate handle, such as "Bloody Bollocks"...

"First person" accounts are incidents that the boarder who is posting has experienced personally. The post is usually along these lines ... "this is what happened to ME." Good, bad or ugly, I think those would be acceptable posts. It is an individual reporting a specific incident that occured to that same individual.

Posts that are not first person accounts such as ... "so and so is a witch" should not be allowed. Those are plain and simple slander.

Cooper, thanks for your well thought out response. Obviously aggie got banged up along the way somehow and is furious. The incident is certainly regrettable but it doesn't make Amanda a bad person. Neither does it make aggie a bad person.

Amanda is a professional with an excellent reputation and aggie the customer has needs that weren't met.

I sincerely hope they can kiss and make up.

First off I never said I had a bad horrible time on my trip. I never let anything ruin my time. In fact once I got patched up I still made it back in to town(walking of course) to eat dinner and go to I&I. I hada great vacation, and plan on returning to belize and have told many people how wonderful the country is.

My only intention was to inform other travelers of my experience.

I am very disgusted at all the rude comments I received. I think it is more than fair to post my expereince for future travelers without my accident being made fun of.

Let just keep in mind that I was injured and then treated rudely. I am not mad about the bike breaking and all that---I understand that things break. The only problem I have is how i was treated. A simple I'm sorry would have done just fine. However that is just about the opposite of what i got.

Aggie, Don't expect any less than people making fun of you because they refuse to take the blame for anything bad that happens on the island. If something bad happens, it is always the fault of someone else. You have to remember that the only thing CC residents like about tourists is their money. The whole of Belize is pretty much that way. When your money runs out, you are no longer their "friend". You will only be wasting your breath trying to warn someone. There is a certain "click" on the island and if you aren't in it, you are no one. If you ARE in it, you can do anything to anyone who visits and they will only blame the victim. I too learned that the hard way. This board only welcomes and accepts good reports. If you have a bad experience and want to warn someone new, you will only be the bad guy because no resident on CC will own up to it. You will not get an apology OR your money back.

I'm not a resident, or even a visitor, yet. However, to the complaint.

Go bang up a Hertz rental car and see how far that company is willing to pay the damages, even if it is mechanical failure. Could Amanda have been more sympathetic? Perhaps, but do you really want someone to bandage your booboo and kiss the ouchie? If that sounds unsympathic, I am. Resort owners and even rental property managers only have so much responsibility as to the moods and pleasantness of your stay.

Now, to my own experiance in dealing with Amanda; The other night at about 2am I sent an Email inquiring about accomodations. The next day at work I had her response at about 9am. I was impressed.

We're going to be down there in February, somewhere. If everyone is half as prompt in responding, I'll be happy.

(now I'm going to unstick my nose out of someone else's business and go post a question or two of my own)
