Fodor's Expert Review Isla Marisol Resort
Isla Marisol, Glover's Reef Atoll, Stann Creek, Belize
Spend your days here snorkeling in the shallows, doing acrobatics on a water trampoline, and, most dramatically, diving at "The Pinnacles," where coral heads rise 40 feet from the ocean floor. After a lobster or fish dinner and a few Belikins on a pier 100 feet into the Caribbean, wander back to your rustic cabin, a breezy retreat built of tropical hardwoods. The cabins are more or less utilitarian, but you're unlikely to spend much time in them. Given its air-conditioning and 24/7 electricity, Isla Marisol has more amenities than many resorts nearby. With 40 miles between you and the Belizean coast, this is an exhilarating place for fishers and divers, midrange for remote islands in Belize.
