One other thing I meant to mention and it's about $$$$$. I read on this board once where someone used the rule of $150 per day per person for spending money while on AC. I used that theory and it was almost perfect. The 2 of us ate very well (VH, capricorn, etc) every day and probably drank way more than we should have. We also went on several excursions and bought several t-shirts and hats and it worked out to amost exactly $300 per day. With that said, I feel like you should be able to have a very nice vacation on $4K.

Is that US 150.00 per day or Belize 150.00 per day????? No one seems to specify

USD

Wow, you really did treat yourselves. I generally spoil myself rotten, but my budget it only $100 US/day. Sometimes I spend more, sometimes I spend less, but in the end, it comes out to about that. For clarity, I don't include my dive budget in my daily budget.

Mmm, I just thought of something. Since I generally spend much longer than 7 days at a stretch, I do have days where I'm living much more quietly. That probably makes the money go further.

jford and seashell, thank you so MUCH for that bit of info regarding daily budget! You have no idea how helpful that was. Many thanks! ~Jenn

We were married at Ramon's in May and had a great stay there--but we did find it to be a bit pricey for the accomodations. We were there 2 weeks and it really adds up quickly. My suggestion would be to stay a couple of nights in their honeymoon suite on the ocean and then consider moving over next door to the Belizean Reef. We had some friends who stayed there and it was only about $100 a night---full accomodations with kitchen, etc. and right on the beach. Close enough to Ramon's to use all of their amenities too. We loved both.

Master bedroom, Second floor, Private veranda overlooking the beautiful caribbean ocean(and pool), hearing the ocean waves, along with the blowing palm trees and occasional tropical bird calls.....O'Farrell House is calling your name for that most wonderful Homeymoon experience ever! Come enjoy life here!

Just my 2 cents....
I just got back from 2 weeks in AC for our wedding and honeymoon. We stayed at the Xanadu and thought it was perfect. Just outside town far enough for some seclusion, but close enough for a stroll down the beach or two use one of the resorts FREE bicycles. I haven't heard a ton mentioned about the Xandadu on the board, but we were VERY happy there.
**Also the staff is WONDERFUL! Susan and Martin will do anything & everything to make your stay perfect.

Laurie--tell us all about your wedding--how was everything? Do you have pictures?
