Almond Beach Resort - Luxury Boutique Resort In Belize

Sleeping Giant Rain Forest Lodge - Romantic Jungle Gateway In Belize
A definite highlight to our 2022 honeymoon in Belize was our visit to Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge. We stayed at Sleeping Giant during the start of the rainy season (June), and we indeed received a LOT of rain during our visit, but honestly, it was perfect – because once we arrived at the resort, we didn’t want to leave! The weather was perfect for cuddling up in our gorgeous suite and enjoying the (covered) outdoor plunge pool. What a view!

Belize Beyond The Blue Hole
The one question everyone asked when I mentioned I was going to Belize? When (not if) I’d visit the Blue Hole, as if it was inconceivable I’d leave without checking out its famous dive site. In reality, the spots I had my eye on were ones most people I spoke to hadn’t heard of: Xunantunich, a Mayan archaeological site with plaster friezes, and the so-called Ceremonial Cave – an enormous cavern filled with evidence of human sacrifice.

Complete Immersion In Belize
The Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge in Blue Hole National Park is a dream for any budding Indiana Jones’. A handful of wooden cottages dotted through the jungle without TV, WiFi or phone signal, it’s a blissful retreat from reality where outdoor baths are shaded by banana trees, hammocks swing by gurgling creeks and peacocks prowl the grounds. There’s even a poolside rum shack so you don’t miss out on a bit of holiday indulgence. Though really, you’re unlikely to spend much time sipping cocktails.
