This itinerary features Francis Ford Coppola’s exclusive Blancaneaux Lodge, located high up in the Mountain Pine Ridge and a favourite with honeymooners. Pooks Hill is set in primary rainforest and is a small intimate lodge with friendly owners who will make your stay truly memorable. The Victoria House Hotel is set on the beautifully picturesque island of Ambergris Caye, just two miles south of the town of San Pedro. This stylish hotel is renowned for its excellent service and is the perfect place to relax for the last week of your honeymoon.

best time to go
The dry season is from November to the end of April. May can often be a good time to go as it is the end of the season and much quieter but it is very hot and humid. The rainy season starts at the beginning of June through to October. It does not rain all day but often clouds over at lunchtime and there are downpours in the afternoon. There is a risk of hurricane during August, September and October in the Caribbean and the Caribbean coasts of Central America.day-by-day itinerary

|
With poverty and lack of education, environmental problems in the third world tend to take second place to filling stomachs and improving deficient health care and education systems. For this reason, buses and lorries still belch black fumes, and locals still throw their rubbish wherever they see fit. Nevertheless things are slowly changing, and tourism is a strong influence in this change. Visitors do not like to see litter all over the place, so people living in and around tourist destinations are beginning to get the message.
One good thing about tourism is that it is uncentralised. Few visitors to Central America stay in the capital cities, hence spending more currency in the provinces and outlying areas. This gives work with good salaries to people who without this may spend their lives as subsistence farmers. It also encourages people outside the capital to make sure their children get an education. You don't need to read in order to till a field, but you do if you are to be involved in tourism. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
