Luxury Resorts of Belize -

I recently went to Kanantik Reef and Jungle Resort in Belize with my girlfriend and I have to say it was one of the most beautiful resorts I have ever stayed at. The uniqueness of Kanantik can be attributed to the careful construction and design that offers its guests a one-of-a-kind blend of luxury and seclusion. Kanantik is truly a work of passion. We met the owner and he described the efforts that went into building Kanantik. It took him more than four years to build and during construction no short cuts were ever taken. Believe me the handcrafted cabanas are stunning. They brought in the finest materials from the surrounding areas to maintain Kanantik's harmony with the Belizean landscape, this included everything from the interior designs styled in the Mayan tradition to the hand-crafted furnishings made from Belizean hardwoods.

He feels Kanantik is the top all-inclusive resort in Belize and said that none of the other Belize resorts comes close to the diversity and size of property that Kanantik owns. We did visit a few other resorts in the area and I have to agree with him. Kanantik sits on the largest privately owned acreage on the ocean for any of the Belizean resorts. Kanantik is the only all-inclusive eco-sensitive resort in Belize designed to showplace both the emerald waters of the Caribbean and the pristine exotic Belizean forest in one truly picturesque setting. 1,300 feet of unspoiled private beach was only a few feet from our secluded cabana. Kanantik also showcases 300 acres of forest for birdwatching. If that isn't enough, the largest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere is right in Kanantik's backyard and we enjoyed some of the most fantastic diving and snorkeling.

With this blog I hope to post pictures and showcase some of the wonders of Belize through our stay at Kanantik.

Enjoy!
