Planning and choosing where to go for a family vacation is hard. Often, Dad and Mom have one idea of what they want to do, but the kids have a completely different idea. How do you choose a destination with something for everyone?
Recently, the Rough Guides, one of the most popular tourism publishers in the world, released their list of the top 30 places for family vacations. Coming in at number 17 on that list was Belize, a Caribbean oasis on the Central American mainland.
Belize is a relatively small country, but it has lots of things to do and see. The mainland is primarily covered in lush rainforests teeming with wildlife, but Belize also has hundreds of miles of beaches and offshore islands. Add in ancient Maya pyramids to climb, mysterious caves to explore, and a ton of great outdoor activities, and it's easy to see why Belize is such a great destination for a family vacation.
Caves Branch Jungle Lodge
When traveling to Belize, the Rough Guides recommend staying at Caves Branch Jungle Lodge. Located just outside Belmopan City, Caves Branch Jungle Lodge is a luxury jungle lodge situated right in the middle of the rainforest.
Although Caves Branch Jungle Lodge has both lovely suites and bungalows, kids go nuts when they stay at one of the resort's beautiful tree houses. With a full range of modern conveniences, these tree houses allow visitors to be fully immersed in the surrounding nature.
In 2018, Caves Branch Jungle Lodge will celebrate their 25th anniversary and just last year, the lodge was awarded the prestigious hospitality award from the Belize Tourism Board for its outstanding customer service.
"We are extremely happy to have been featured in the Rough Guides' list of the top 30 destinations for family vacations," said Rhoda Gill, sales and marketing manager of Caves Branch Jungle Lodge. "After recently being featured by Lonely Planet, this is simply great publicity both for us and for Belize as a whole."
Caves Branch Jungle Lodge specializes in fun, family-friendly adventures and excursions. Depending on age and ability level, the entire family can enjoy activities such as cave tubing (floating down underground rivers with an inner tube), zip lining through the rainforest canopy, jungle hikes led by expert bushcrafters to learn more about the animals and plants of Belize, bird watching, and much, much more.
