Turtle Inn by Francis Ford Coppola

Wow! First timers visiting Belize (my sister and me) and won't be our last. Turtle Inn captured our hearts. We felt safe, valued, and relaxed! As frequent travelers (family is in the airline industry) we know good lodging when we experience it! Never have I extended a stay before and well, now I have! We cherished every single day at this resort. The staff were so friendly and kind. The food was great! We ended up doing several extras such as massages, snorkeling, and the sunset jungle hike!! So many wonderful memories were made here. We want to visit again by the end of 2021!! I would say my best advice for someone thinking about booking, just do it. Note, you do NOT need long pants or long sleeve anything! We were toasty (and from TX). Humidity is a thing so embrace the natural look! One note, we moved villas the last night. We were closer to the ocean but still tucked away and wish we had stayed at our original spot by the pool. We had much cooler temps in the room at night by the pool surprisingly. We also asked for extra room fans which helped! Turtle Inn is my new favorite spot. Truly a magical place.
