We're Gold Standard Certified and other Covid-19 news

So Happy 2021! We had our first guests this past week since last March and I’m so hopeful for a little bit of normal here, I was working on my website and I remembered I had a blog.

Last December (2019) 3 months “in the before” we opened another rental property located right next door called Wish You Were Here and we were just getting busy when you know what happened and all tourism in Belize ground to a halt as it did pretty much the world over. Our little part of paradise was hit very hard as Tourism is it here, and Belize is a small, poor country without the means to do much to help it’s people financially and a large outbreak here would devastate us. Belize quickly closed it’s boarders and instituted other measures to flatten the curve. We did very well in my opinion.

We can’t stay closed forever though and for the last few months I’ve been very busy, mostly cleaning, and meeting the Belize Tourism Board’s rigorous requirements to host International Guests and be “GOLD STANDARD CERTIFIED” This program ensures that we’re using evidence based cleaning protocols and products, also implementation of best practices to decrease contact and a plan for monitoring and reporting to the Ministry of Health if needed. I’ve also committed to Airbnb’s Enhanced Cleaning protocols. Long story short we take your health and safety seriously.

I’ve added WISH YOU WERE HERE to this website and you can check it out under Accommodations. I’m really happy with the results of our hard work so far. We have big plans, we’re always working to improve the experience here.
