Placencia, Belize -- Jungle and jaguars, Maya ruins and cave swimming, snorkeling off the world’s second longest barrier reef, river tubing and Monkey River tour and trail walk promise a unique holiday this summer in the comfort of Belize’s Inn at Robert’s Grove, awarded a star rating from Fodor’s guide and five stars from Belize Guide to Mainland Belize. For $1,279 per person, 25% off of winter rates, the 8 day/7 night all inclusive Adventure Package includes four, full day excursions, accommodations, three meals daily, domestic flight from Belize City to Placencia, airport transfers, tax and service, and use of the resort’s kayaks, canoes, sailboats, hobie cats, windsurfing boards, fitness center, tennis court and bicycles.

            Owned by New York natives Risa and Robert Frackman, the 32-room Inn in Placencia, Southern Belize, has impressive distinctions: the most modern, well-equipped and best staffed PADI dive center in the area, complete with 48’ PRO dive boat for daily two-tank dives and diving for whale sharks (during Whale Shark Season, April through June); a two-acre private island for “Swept Away”, get-away-from-it-all-vacations or day outings, with three wooden cabanas on stilts, housekeeping, and an island cook; fly fishing center with new 23’ skiffs,  licensed guides and instruction and a chance for a “grand slam” (plus a new “Out Island Package).  All of the tours are resort operated so it’s possible to book in late afternoon for the following morning’s outing.
 

            On 15 acres with its own marina, the Inn offers beautifully appointed hacienda style accommodations, all beachfront or beach view. Rooms and suites are spacious and feature air conditioning, ceiling fans, telephones, cable TV, private baths and terraces and rooftop Jacuzzis.  Other resort facilities include two, 50-foot freshwater swimming pools, guest Internet and computer center, and massage and nail Sea Spa.
 

            Guests can choose from among two restaurants, the acclaimed Seaside, said by Travel and Leisure “to have some of Belize’s best cuisine” and the new marina side Habanero Mexican Café and Bar. Both feature US imported prime beef and local seafood. All breads and pastries are baked fresh onsite.     
 

On the southern peninsula of Belize, Placencia is reached by an under two hour flight from Miami, Dallas, and Houston, or 4 ½ hours from metro New York to Belize City followed by a 25 minute commuter flight.
