The standout is the reservation-required 3-course Belizean culinary experience at dinner, which books up quickly on weekends. Reserve 24 hours ahead without exception. The beachfront deck setting is open-air, with the option to eat in the sand. A la carte pricing unless all-inclusive package applies.
