#ThrowbackThursday to my honeymoon in November 2014 Picture a dream tropical getaway. Can you see the clear blue water? Can you hear the rustle of palm trees waving in the breeze? Can you feel the sand under your toes and sun on your skin as you lay in lounge chairs? Can you feel the gentle rocking of kayaks and stand-up paddle boards as you circle the island? Can you taste the fresh tropical fruit and coffee from beans grown only a couple of hours away? Ok, stop picturing this and just go to Coco Plum Island Resort in Belize. On our honeymoon, Brett and I got to spend five days here! Coco Plum is on a private island, nine miles off the shore of Dangriga, Belize, meaning that the only thing on the island is the resort. We took a boat to and from the island, for arrival, inland tours, and departure. The island is situated near the Belize Barrier Reef, which offers fantastic snorkeling, diving, and fishing. There are options for zip-lining, cave tubing, and touring Mayan ruins on the mainland of Belize. The people who work at Coco Plum are some of the friendliest, most welcoming, and most thoughtful people I have ever encountered while traveling. The island is very small and intimate, offering only fourteen cabanas that accommodate two people each. A fun fact about Belize is that the official language is English, so you shouldn't have any problems with communication if you're monolingual. Unless you're my husband, who had a ten minute conversation about mangoes with our driver from the Dangriga airport, who was actually talking about mangroves ("We're not allowed to cut down the mangroves", "Good, I love mangoes!"). I could write more, but I think the pictures I took speak for themselves. It's not hard to make this place look beautiful!
