BELIZE BEACH VILLAS

Not a narrow beach, flanked by other crowded beaches, nor steps from a beach. Ours is a pristine, sandy beach, broad and deep, and directly on the Caribbean.


Not just rooms, but centrally air-conditioned villas of distinction, with spacious bedrooms and lofts, fully equipped kitchens, 60-channel satellite television, a phone and safe, daily maid service and private terraces facing the sea. You can also pack light; we even wash and dry for our guests, or you can do it yourself, on site.

Not a forgettable pool, but an entire pool environment awarded "best of the best" accolades. Lushly landscaped, the complex has a swim-up and sit-down bar, submerged lounges, a lap area and hot tub. Guests love it and many never leave it.

Not a shared or "by-the-book" island dock, but a broad dock stretching 250 feet into the Caribbean, home to a fully-staffed Activities Center providing information and making arrangements for more than 30 tours and excursions on and off the island, and on the mainland, with pickups by guides right at dockside -- diving, snorkeling and fishing trips definitely included, along with cave tubing, Mayan ruins exploration, catamaran sails, and every conceivable water sport.

Not a so-so restaurant with a limited menu, but an exceptional, just renovated restaurant/sports lounge named The Upper Deck, with dramatic 360-degree views, room service, and three meals a day, seven days a week, served up by a chef who routinely earns as much praise from our guests as our world-class pool environment.

Not a costly rental fee for kayaks (they are free), nor for our bicycles (just $5 daily), nor for wi-fi access to the internet (it's free, with computers also available for your use in the lobby), nor for volleyball time, nor for play on our first-class tennis court.


Not an isolated resort far from the "action." We do offer guests privacy and exclusivity, but San Pedro, with its boutiques and craft shops and restaurants and picturesque beachfront bars, is just 15-20 minutes away by bicycle, golf cart (available on site) and water-taxi. Plus, on site, with 48 occupied villas, you'll find lots of conviviality and guest interaction, if you want it.

Not a diffident staff providing erratic service, but an unparalleled management team and a caring, well-trained staff truly dedicated to guest needs. Read elsewhere on our site what past guests have said about the service on site.

Not a resort you leave and never think about again. A great many of our guests return with friends and family, to share their vacation experience.

Not a place for couples only; children are welcome, and appreciated, and typically make new friends on their arrival day. Experienced child care? Provided, with a bit of advance notice. Memorable weddings on site? We've arranged and hosted many.


Not a resort that books you and forgets you. We keep in touch, provide tips on your trip preparation, information on tours and restaurants, help in securing your connecting flights to the island, and immediate responses to your questions, seven days a week, virtually around the clock. And on your arrival day, we will meet you in San Pedro and escort you to your villa, on our boat, at our cost, and return you to San Pedro on your departure day. In short, we relieve all the stress of vacation planning. And when you must leave, you'll wish devoutly that you could stay.

Roman Villas

Roman Villas in England

When the Romans invaded Britain in the first century AD they made little attempt to adapt their architecture to the traditions of their new Roman province of Britannia. Rather, they imposed their own Mediterranean style of architecture and town planning. One of the most visible remnants of that style in England is the Roman villa.

In Latin the word villa means simply, "farm", so technically villas were any form of rural agricultural dwelling built in a Roman style. In practice, though, when we speak of villas we mean the country estates of the Romanised British elite. Although at first the conquered tribal aristocracy may have been drawn into towns, it wasn't long before they began a "back to the land" movement. Most large villas are built quite close to major urban centres, generally within ten miles, so the owners were never very far from the centre of affairs. Villas were more than fancy houses, though; they were centres of rural industry and agriculture. In one complex they could hold the landowner and his family, overseers, labourers, storehouses, and industrial buildings. Although some may have been strictly the centre of large farms, others included industry in the form of pottery and metalworking.

Although villas are not unknown in the north of England, by far the largest number were constructed in the fertile lowlands of the south east, particularly in Kent and Sussex.
Roman building falls into two major eras; immediately post-conquest most houses and public buildings were built in timber on stone or wooden foundations, and in the 2nd century were rebuilt in stone.Individual houses were as different then as they are now, but the villas followed some general patterns. Most were one story in height, based on a stone foundation, and capped with slate or clay tiled roofs. These villas also boasted some creature comforts which would not be common to England again for over a thousand years after the end of the Roman era. Mosaic or marbled floors, painted plaster walls, and central heating were not unknown, especially in those villas owned by government officials.

Underfloor heating systems were universal, fed by a separate fire chamber which funneled hot air through stone channels under the building. One wonders how much some of the British aristocrats understood the new Roman styles they were adopting, for in one intriguing case the heating system was never fired up.

Tile floors were common, and most larger villas contained at least one room with a mosaic floor. Walls may have been decorated with mosaics or painted scenes. Roman furniture was made of wood, in patterns similar to Roman style throughout the Empire. Many villas also had separate bath houses.

Floor plans fell into three main categories, the corridor, courtyard, and basilica styles. These styles were occasionally mixed together in the same building. The corridor style is pretty basic architecture; just a long passage with rooms opening off it. [Note: this floor plan drawing and the two that follow are grossly simplified].

By the fourth century the corridor sprouted wings and finally enclosed a central space to become a courtyard house. Although reminiscent of Mediterranean houses arranged around a central atrium, these courtyard villas were actually little more than a three or four sided group of corridors with adjoining rooms.

The basilica, or aisled hall, (also called "barn style") is similar to both earlier Iron Age and later Saxon halls. The hall is a rectangular building, with two rows of interior posts along the length, creating a central nave while leaving space along each long wall.

The golden age of the villa in England was in the 2nd and 3rd centuries. After that they fell into disuse or were taken over for other purposes.
