The Ultimate Belize Beach Vacation

For those seeking a dream Belize beach vacation that offers a taste of luxury, romance and a hint of adventure, The Inn at Roberts Grove is now offering their new Inn-Island Package that combines the best of this upscale resort with a stay on one of their two privately owned islands.

The 7-night/8-day Inn-Island Dream Package includes 4 night's luxury beachview accommodations at the Inn at Robert's Grove, one of Belize's premier resorts and 3 nights on one of the Inn's privately owned islands - Robert's Caye and Ranguana Caye. The per-person cost of the package for Robert's Caye is US $1,828 for the winter season, and US$1,747 for summer. For Ranguana Caye the per-person rate in winter is US$1,757 and US$1,676 in summer. All applicable taxes and service charge are included.

The Inn portion of the package includes round trip domestic flights between Belize City and Placencia; land transfers to and from the airstrip; 4 night's luxury beachview accommodations at the Inn, with private bath, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, cable TV, telephone, small fridge, safe, and private terrace; complimentary welcome drink; all meals; tour of the Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve with waterfall swim and river tubing; 60-minute Swedish massage for each person; use of the Inn's three swimming pools, tennis court, Jacuzzis, gym, kayaks, canoes, windsurfers, Hobie Kats and bicycles.

The Island portion includes round trip boat transfer between Robert's Grove Marina and either Ranguana Caye or Robert's Caye; 3 night's accommodations in an oceanfront cabana with private bathroom (hot/cold water), fan and private porch; all meals (American breakfast, lunch and dinner); local rum, beer and non- alcoholic beverages, use of sea kayaks and snorkeling equipment.

The two small islands or "cayes" feature distinct differences. Robert's Caye, which is approximately 10 miles from Placencia (1/2 hour by boat), is a small, intimate island that contains four beautifully appointed cabanas built over the water. Each cabana is outfitted with a king bed, full bathroom and a private terrace with stairs that descend directly into the sea. A small restaurant and bar serves three meals daily - on your private terrace if you'd like. Robert's Caye is surrounded by crystal clear water, ideal for swimming, snorkeling and diving. The nearby flats are excellent for fishing as well.

Ranguana Caye, is an hour away from Placencia by boat and is close to the Belize Barrier Reef, the largest reef in the Western Hemisphere. It is this proximity to the reef that makes it one of Belize's prime diving and snorkeling locations. The caye has three wood cabanas built high on stilts with outside decks that offer cool breezes and sea views. Each cabana is outfitted with one queen and one single bed, and private bathroom. Ranguana also has a small island restaurant and bar.

The 52-room Inn at Robert's Grove has been awarded Fodor's star rating and five stars by Belize Guide to Mainland Belize. On 22 acres, the property is owned by Risa and Bob Frackman, transplanted New Yorkers who place an emphasis on great food, hospitality and ease of travel. Features include two restaurants, the top PADI dive operation in southern Belize; two private islands; a fly fishing center with new 23' skiffs, instruction, and a chance for a "grand slam;" Sea Spa; marina; internet center; and a host of complimentary activities that include tennis, three 50-foot swimming pools, rooftop Jacuzzis, gym, a fleet of kayaks, windsurfers, canoes, hobie kats, sailboats and bicycles. An in- house tour operation arranges excursions to the Mayan ruins, Barrier Reef, Cockscomb Jaguar preserve and Monkey River.
