Blancaneaux Lodge in Belize strikes the perfect ba Blancaneaux Lodge in Belize strikes the perfect balance between luxury and rustic. 

We stayed in Cabana 10, which had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, including seating areas, screened patio, and hammock. 

There are no televisions and only a “shellphone” for you to contact the front desk and concierge directly. Each morning you can have your complementary breakfast and coffee delivered to your room-which we enjoyed every morning!

We can’t wait to return to @blancaneauxlodge

And the service was unmatched, with curated excisions and personalized service. If you need anything you can contact the front desk via the “shellphone” in your room 🐚 

Can’t wait to share more about this resort….and of course the amazing food, where most of it was grown in the organic on-site garden. 🪴
