My sister and I bought tickets last minute tickets to Belize with no plans, knowing very little about the country. We picked Black Orchid because the other reviews made it sound like they would help take care of everything for us. And they totally did!

We stayed at the Black Orchid on the last day of our week in Belize. I found it online and let me tell you that the website pics do not do the grounds justice; the hotel and grounds are much more beautiful in person. We met the owner on the day we checked in and he made sure that we... more

We were... more
