Victoria:

You are going to LOVE Belizean Shores. We just had an absolutely fabulous 8 nights there in the perfect sea-front condo. The staff was all very nice and with small guest totals, they referred to you by name and were willing to address any issues you had.

The pool is fantastic, from what I was told the best on the island. It has a cool swim-up bar where you can enjoy the best mango daquiris and pina coladas. Say hello to the bartender, Sonya, and to her friend Angela.

Don't be surprised if Eddie -- the youngest (8 months old) of property manager Doug's two golden labradors -- jumps in and swims up to the swim-up bar with you. He'll find his own seat, and he prefers Pina Coladas if you are buying. The pool/bar is a big deal because, as you will learn, the beachfront area at many properties doesn't exactly look conducive to swimming.

Our preferance was to walk to the bar for a drink, then to go out and get sun on the pier. They have a great dock with a small swimming area there, and they certainly had the cleanest beach area of any property within walking distance.

And you have to spend at least one night lying in the hammock looking up at the stars. With the Caribbean breeze blowing as it usually does, it's the most comfortable evening you can possibly have -- we did that almost every night. Through that breeze you can just barely hear the waves breaking against the reef just off the coast.

Thanks so much, Fosterstars ... I'm a lot better now knowing the pool bar is open! And it's great to hear that BS is such a nice place, being our first trip to Belize I really was just taking a chance. Now I'm really ready to go! Thanks again...

Hello Fosterstars!!! It's Tracey. Anyone else, ditto to what Fosterstars says about BS. I was there, only for five days, and found the property exactly what I wanted-nothing but total relaxation!! The pool is nothing short of captivating- and downright sexy! The managers and staff are genuine in the desire to make your vacation as comfortable as possible, with pleasant, friendly attitudes for all requests. After seeing some of the other hotels in the area, I consider it my good fortune that I found Belizean Shores!! Remember, it is about 4 miles from town, but if it's what you're looking for, there's nothing better! Fosterstars- can't wait to see you and Alex again!! Take care.

tmasjuan & foreststars... did you rent a golf cart for use while you were there? Do you recommend doing that, or just relying on the water taxis and bicycles? Thanks!

Hey Foster and Tracey. It's Kym!! (Did you get my e-mail?) We were there all at the same time and had a blast!! It is the greatest place and am already planning a return. We rented a golf cart and pretty much shared with everyone. Only had it part of the time and felt that was enough. Polo's only charged us $150 US for 5 days rental. Make sure you negotiate on the rate. You will also need to change it out each time you go into town. If you are into nightlife, then make sure you use the water taxi as the hand ferry closes at 8:00 p.m. The road from BS to town is very bumpy and has bugs but we had lots of fun with the cart. It was also great to use it to go to Rendevous and CayeMart. You can drive on the beach all the way from Capt'n Morgan's to Journey's End. The top units are the best as they have a loft and feel bigger than the lower units. However, if you don't like climbing steep stairs, get the bottom unit. You might ask Doug or the staff to make sure your air conditioning is turned on before you arrive as it was hotter than hell when we got there. We immediately turned on the a/c, grabbed a cold beer and jumped in the pool. Nighttime swimming and the hot tub are great and you will not believe the stars. Also, if the BS boat is going into town you can always get a free ride. We did this a few times and only had to pay to get back to the condo. Hope you have a great trip. P.S. If you smoke Marlboro or any brand other than Benson and Hedges, bring tons as you won't find them there

Foster and Tracey -- I will be in Dallas July 11th and 12th as well as the 24th through the 26th. Do you guys want to hook up for cocktails and share pics? E-mail me at [email protected].

Tracey and Kym:

Sorry I'm just now seeing your messages. I've had a pretty hectic two weeks since my return.

Let me know when you are getting here -- I think you have my numbers, correct? Tracey, I assume your return home went well.

I've got 5 or 6 rolls of photos and they all turned out great.

Alex returned to LA on the 16th and it doesn't appear right now that she will be moving to Dallas any time soon. I'm sure you don't want to hear the details on a message board, but I just thought you guys might want to know that.

Anyway, hope to hear from you guys soon. Kym, tell drunk Kenny I said hello -- and sober Kenny too (they are two different people, you know?)

Victoria:

make sure to post upon your return and let us know what you thought. you are going to LOVE belizean shores

Hey Kym and Fosterstars! Just checking to say hello. Any plans to return to Paradise anytime soon?!! Fosterstars, I'd love to see your pics if you want to share them. You can email me at [email protected]. Hope things are going well. Everyone else, if you're considering Belizean Shores as your place to stay, I hope you'll love it as much as I did!
