Singing Sands Inn: Honeymoon Heaven in Belize
by T-and-J_Gibbo
Upon arrival at Belize International Airport an attendant, acting on behalf of our gracious hosts at the Singing Sands Inn, greeted us personally, by name, and guided us through customs, baggage check and onto our connecting flight. It was at that moment we realized this trip was going to be exceptional. But that was only the beginning of our week-long retreat immersed in the casual elegance and relaxed atmosphere as guests of the Singing Sands Inn.
A stunning beach resort alive with the quiet colors of a Caribbean Caye, we were warmly greeted as if being welcomed into their home and escorted to our private beach-front cabana just a few short steps from the Placencia Lagoon. It wasn’t so much the complete renovation of the entire Inn, as it was the extraordinary workmanship and complete attention to every detail that held us in awe. Everything, from the artwork, the furniture, and the landscaping, to the custom louvered-blinds designed to reign in the warm sea-breeze from any and every direction, was locally and meticulously hand-made.
The Bonefish Grille is a large, open air, beautifully furnished and decorated, palapa-roof restaurant and bar, conveniently located next to the swimming pool – again completely renovated. Testimony to the wildly inviting menu, perfect preparation, and impressive meal presentations, unexpected guests arriving for breakfast, lunch and dinner repeatedly returned throughout our entire stay. At each meal, the owners genuinely greeted every guest as an old friend, always creating a comfortable, tranquil atmosphere.
The perfect mixture of seclusion, romance, party and adventure, the list of excursions and entertainment seemed limitless. Whether exploring and snorkeling a brilliant barrier reef from the deck a chartered catamaran, discovering a deserted Caribbean Caye aboard a sport-craft, reeling in the catch of the day from a fishing boat, paddling in a clear bottom kayaking, discovering archeological ruins, spending an enchanted evening on a nearby private island, or just partying at the end of the 200 ft. pier at the Inn’s Chez Albert Bar, no stone was left unturned.
Honeymoon Heaven From beginning to end, our honeymoon at the Singing Sands Inn exceeded all of our expectations.
