San Pedro, Ambergris Caye Still Retains Its Island Charm

Guarapo Juice - A refreshing Cuban Treat!

We had heard much buzz about a new juice stand on Pescador Drive and were very curious to see what all the hype is all about. We stopped at the new restaurant in town – Hemingway’s Café. Although the restaurant has not officially opened for business there is much buzz at their street side deck where Mr. John Thompson is making some delicious Guarapo Juice. Guarapo Juice??? You might ask, what on earth is that?? Well, it’s a deliciously refreshing juice – Cane Juice! Guarapa or Caldo de caña is...

Fiesta Time at Elvi’s Kitchen

I could not resist but to wear my traditional Mexican Guayabera as the staff of Ambergris Today headed to Elvi’s Kitchen to experience their new themed night that is Fiesta Mexicana. Who does not like a fiesta? Everybody knows that San Pedro can throw a mean party! Well Elvi’s Kitchen just recently introduced Fiesta Mexicana on Wednesday nights – Mexican food at its best. And it felt very appropriate to have worn my guayabera as the waiting staff at Elvi’s Kitchen were all decked out in full...

Retreat in Paradise at Captain Morgan’s

Captain Morgan's Retreat packs luxury living into rustic surroundings; it’s packed with all the comforts of modern living and luxurious accommodations but still manages to keep an island charm. With buildings wrapped in pimento sticks and thatched roofs, the resort blends with the natural environment and provides a true retreat in the Paradise that La Isla Bonita is. We retreated from the fast-paced living in downtown San Pedro for an entire weekend and pampered ourselves with the tranquility...

San Pedro, Ambergris Caye Still Retains Its Island Charm

Relaxing and getting away from it all on Ambergris Caye, Belize

A few months back I posted an article disclaiming a line that a lot of people like to use: “San Pedro is too Expensive”. Compared to my travels in other areas, vacationing in San Pedro/Belize is not very expensive but rather quite affordable for that matter. You can read more on that HERE. Another expression that I keep hearing a lot and that I have a beef with anybody saying is this one: “San Pedro has lost its charm that it had 25 years ago.” I totally disagree with this one too. Why? Because...

Experiencing Carnaval Comparsas

There are many amazing events that are celebrated on the island, but the one that I definitely look forward to is Carnaval. This three day celebration is unique and I love it, simply for all the impressive colors of costumes during all the comparsas and all the beautiful people walking around town like Picasso paintings. Last year I showcased the fun painting side of Carnaval. This time around I will be featuring another creative side of this celebration, which is the Comparsas. A Comparsa is a...

“The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” Part 3

Bad: Classes that are boooooring By Gustavo Ramirez, Guidance Counselor / Education Consultant Educators/teachers in Belize or throughout the world, regardless of how academically qualified we may be, who are boooooring, only add to the “bad” picture for education. It is no secret that when students get bored their minds drift. Some will daydream, some will chatter with classmates, some will doodle/draw or write notes/letters, and in general they will be inattentive to the teacher. Worse...
