I've visited MET a number of times but haven't actually stayed there.
The place has gone through a lot of changes. Jim and Marguerite Bevis managed it hands on for years, then they went back to the U.S. and left it in the hands of a U.S. manager and things went downhill fast. That manager left and they got another, local guy to run it. Then Jim came back, and I'm told he has or is trying to get money to expand the place, but it's been about six months since I was last there and I'm not sure what has been done. Not much yet is what I understand.
The cabanas are pretty nice. No electricity, but that sort of adds to the atmosphere. They still do horseback trips, though I don't know that it has the reputation for horses that it used to have, before all the changes. Banana Bank has now become the # 1 equestrian lodge in Belize.
It's in a nice private location, at about Mile 8 of the Pine Ridge/Chiquibul Rd., across from the Green Hills butterfly farm. Sort of in between San Ignacio and the Pine Ridge. Personally I'd want a car if I were staying there.
