Hi, We were scheduled to stay there 9/5-12 (sept) this Fall and found out today via email from the resort after sending them a message about transport that they will be closed for "remodeling" starting in August. This resort is NEW. Maybe two, three years old? Pictures look wonderful. What is the "real" skinny on this place? Does anyone know? Would I have known if I had not emailed? This question remains unanswered. Thankfully we have somewhere else to stay but it is not the same size and are looking and needing a two bedroom unit. Does anyone know anything about this situation with BLBR and also can you guys comment on Brahma Resort? Thanks...I am in a quandry and a bit of a "mood" over these recent transpirings. Appreciate any info at all!

Sorry about the way you 'found out' but they probably would have made some other arrangements for you and then notified you. As Simon said this is not unusual. Too bad they used the word 'remodeling' as I'm sure it is general maintenance. Had you placed a deposit on your reservation? Did you ask them for a recommendation? That is the lowest of the low season and there are plenty of places available and right now at very good prices.

Belize Legacy has been up and running for 2-3 years, Jeff. It's a very classy and beautiful place. The staff is unbelieveable, your every whim is addressed. They pamper you. Definitely an upscale resort without the upscale pricing. Telling a customer this far in advance about a construction situation in their new addition and thus losing the revenue thereby is another classy thing.
I hope that someday we can put aside our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

Ok. First of all, noone from Belize Legacy informed us that they were closing. I happened upon the info by emailing the resort to ask a question about renting golf carts. Secondly, we chose that resort because of the amenities. Now we are at Brahma Blue in a 1br as opposed to the 2 br we had at BLBR. This is thru Interval International. This is the first time that this has ever happened to us. We are very disappointed. I am posting a message about resorts now to get feedback on the others that are there. Thank you for all the responses thus far. We know Belize is beautiful!
