Coco Plum Island is a 16 acre cay, and is situated just 8 miles off the coast of Belize.

We were planning our honeymoon, and we both love ‘bare feet and casual’ and we found Coco Plum by accident when we were researching for a Caribbean Vacation, which then extended to Belize, and then the idea for a Belize Island Honeymoon came about.

We felt an all inclusive Belize honeymoon package would be our choice, a bit more research and the decision was made, and we have never regretted it.

We flew into Belize City from Newark, changed planes and flew to Dangriga, where we were met by one of the staff from Coco Plum, from their to the boat dock, and then 15 -20 minutes by small boat to the island. In fact from the moment we were picked up in the Coco Plum ‘van’ we realised this was going to be special. It’s weird how sometimes you just get that great feeling really quickly.

When we reached the island it was straight to the bar, whilst our bags were sorted. Looking around we realised how beautiful it was, sitting in the thatch roofed bar looking out over a crystal clear turquoise/blue sea.

Our Cabana was very comfortable, and we really felt the staff had only one concern, and that was our well being. There is an impression that there is no electricity, and in fact the island generates all its own power, and produces its own water. This is not 24 hour service, shopping mall, duplex five star comfort, but we felt that everyone on the island were kind of ‘no shoes’ laid back like us.

Overall we had a great time, the food was absolutely delicious, something very important to me. The beach lovely, the water warm, and crystal clear. We don’t scuba, but we do snorkel, and we were taken to some lovely places where the fish were just amazing.

We read a lot, and even went on an expedition into the interior of Belize, to the Mayan ruins tour, a must see. We couldn’t go home and say we hadn’t been and done anything!!

I will however especially remember the beauty of Coco Plum Island, the friendliness of the staff, and the effort they put in to make our stay memorable. The three great meals every day, and the people who we met who felt like we did.

This is just the best possible Belize honeymoon package we could have wished for.
